MBF-P01-Re3 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Hana

The MBF-P01-Re3 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Hana is the renovated form of Rondo Mina Sahaku's MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina from the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED ASTRAY Princess of the Sky. It is piloted by Lath Winslet.

Armaments

 * "Igelstellung" 75mm Multi-Barrel CIWS
 * The "Igelstellung" 75mm Multi-Barrel CIWS are head mounted Vulcan guns. CIWS is typically inadequate for dealing with mobile suit-grade armor, but is sufficient for destroying small high speed targets such as missiles, small ground vehicles, and soft targets.


 * "Maga no Ikutachi" Energy Absorption Claw
 * The same back-mounted weapon as used by the original Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. These "claws" forcefully discharge the electrical energy from the batteries of enemy mobile suits through the use of mirage colloid related technology, disabling them while at the same time recharging Gold Frame Amatsu Hana's own battery. Like the original Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, contact with the enemy unit is necessary for this weapon to function. Later at an unknown point of time, the claws are improved, allowing it to function as a non-contact weapon as it was original envisioned.


 * "Magashira no Hoko" Harpoon
 * Like the original Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, the Amatsu Hana is equipped with a pair "Magashira no Hoko" harpoons, which are equipped with Phase Shift technology and thus can penetrate virtually any armor. Each harpoon is attached to a cable for power and recovery. Like the absorption claws, the harpoons are mounted on the back.


 * "Trikeros Kai" Offensive Shield System
 * Inherited from the original Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, the "Trikeros Kai" is armed with the triple "Lancer Dart" hypervelocity kinetic energy penetrator, and a beam rifle that can also function as a beam saber by emitting a beam blade from the rifle's barrel. The sharp outer edges of the shield is usable as a melee weapon.


 * "Tsumuha no Tachi" triple claw
 * One of the new melee weapons added during the upgrade from Gold Frame Amatsu to Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, it is mounted on the left forearm. The three claws extend when in use, where they are used for one of two purposes - 1) stop or rob the enemy's weapon, 2) unbalance or stop part of the enemy's movement. Overall, the claws are meant to neutralise the enemy's attack while dealing little damage.


 * "Totsuka no Tsurugi" saber
 * The second new melee weapon added when Gold Frame Amatsu was upgraded to Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. Stored on the side armor when not in use, the pair of "Totsuka no Tsurugi" sabers are shaped like rapiers and are unsuitable for slashing attacks. Instead, they are meant for pinpoint piercing attack to the joints and sensors of enemy MS. As a result, they require a high degree of skill to use effectively. When used properly, they can immobilize the enemy while dealing minimal amount of damage.

Special Equipment & Features

 * Mirage Colloid Stealth System
 * This system is inherited from Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and allows the suit to disappear from both visual and sensor detection.


 * Enhanced Sensor
 * An additional, ZAFT inspired sensor mounted in the head.


 * Phase Shift Armor
 * This feature is only limited to the right arm as it originated from Blitz Gundam.
