AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal

The AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal is the successor of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal, appearing in the Asemu Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The unit is piloted by Asemu Asuno.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
A next generation Gundam that is built based on the combat data of the Gundam AGE-1 and the second Gundam built using the AGE System. The unit is designed as a high speed combat unit, able to turn into Strider Mode, a fighter-like form which flies at three times the speed of its MS mode. The unit also has a wear system, similar to the AGE-1, which allows the operator to change the unit's configuration by swapping out an alternate set of limbs.

Aside from its speed, the AGE-2 Normal possess a Hyper DODS Rifle and a much sturdier shield along with a beam saber for close combat. The AGE-System installed in the mobile suit allows it to gather combat data to "evolve" the Gundam when needed.

The Gundam AGE-2 Normal was later recolored white in honour of Woolf Enneacle.

Armaments

 * Hyper DODS Rifle
 * The basic long ranged armament of the AGE-2 Normal developed from the DODS Rifle. It is strong enough to penetrate two mobile suit targets and also forms the nose of the AGE-2's Strider Mode. It's supposedly twice as powerful as older DODS models.


 * Beam Sabers
 * A sword like weapon that is used for close combat during battle. Like Gundam AGE-1, Gundam AGE-2's beam saber are strong enough to pierce and destroy the Vagan's mass-production mobile suits such as Gafran, Baqto and Dorado with a single stab.


 * Beam Vulcans
 * A basic beam vulcans which only usable in Strider Mode. Beam Vulcans were used to intercept enemy units or missiles while in Strider Mode.


 * Shield

System Features

 * AGE System
 * The AGE System is the Special OS for the Gundam AGE-1 engineered by the lineage of the Asuno family. It researches the evolution of living beings by digitizing the mysteries surrounding it and collects battle data to customize itself, grows alongside the pilot and is customized and used exclusively by the pilot itself. The only way for this system to be used and the Gundam to mobilize is by using the AGE Device.
