CB-001.5D2 1.5 Gundam Type Dark

CB-001.5D2 1.5 Gundam type DARK is an Dengeki Hobby special edition kit and a variant of the CB-001 1 Gundam. It first appears in Mobile Suit Gundam 00P special edition.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The 1.5 Gundam has many similarities with the mobile unit GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron, being equipped with back binders that allow 1.5 Gundam to manipulate its GN Particles in various ways.

Binder Rifle
There is small beam rifle in each of 1.5 Gundam's binder.

GN Buster Rifle
Similar to the weapon used by CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam/Reborns Cannon, 1.5 Gundam's GN Buster Rifle has a cord connecting it with the GN Condenser on its right elbow to greatly increase its firepower.

GN Shield
Standard equipment. Similar in appearance to the Astraea's shield design, though elongated.

Binders
The main improvement over 1 Gundam. These movable binders allow 1.5 Gundam to control GN particle depend on situation.
 * Stand By Mode: See the image below; both binders are placed in this mode when not in use.
 * High Speed Mode: Both binders fold directly backward, increasing 1.5 Gundam's speed.
 * Flight Mode: Both binders fold outward to form wings and improve 1.5 Gundam's atmospheric flight efficiency.
 * Attack Mode: Both binders move to the right side of the unit and glow as they amplify GN particles in the right elbow's GN condenser. This mode greatly increases the power output 1.5 Gundam's GN Buster Rifle.
 * Defense Mode: Both binders move to the unit's left side and strengthen the GN field generated by 1.5 Gundam's GN Shield.
 * Rifle Mode: Both binders fold forward under the arms to function as beam rifles increasing 1.5 Gundam's offensive firepower.
 * Alvaaron Cannon Mode: Both binders point forward over the shoulders and generate a GN field just before firing a powerful beam cannon. This feature, derived from GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron, consumes enough energy to deplete 1.5 Gundam's GN Drive Tau with a single shot.
