RGE-G2100 Clanche

The RGE-G2100 Clanche  is a mass-production mobile suit featured in the third generation of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The unit is piloted by Jonathan Gistab and Shanalua Mullen.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RGE-G2100 Clanche is a new generation production transformable mobile suit developed from the AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal. Just like the Gundam AGE-2, the Clanche is designed as a high speed combat unit, able to turn into a fighter-like form which flies at a greater speed than that of its MS mode. It is equipped with the basic weapons such as the DODS rifle, three beam sabers, two beam vulcans, and a shield.

Armaments

 * DODS Rifle
 * A mass produced beam weapon modeled after the AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal's Hyper DODS Rifle.


 * Beam Saber
 * A sword like weapon that is used for close combat during battle. A beam saber is stored in each of Clanche's wrists, while another beam saber is stored in the shield.


 * Beam Vulcans
 * Standard light armament mounted in Clanche's head.


 * Shield
 * The Clanche's defensive armament. It is a fairly standard shield mounted on the left forearm.

History
The Clanche is a mass production version of the AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal. The Clanche first appears in A.G. 164 during Vagan's full-scale invasion of Earth. The Abis Team are one of the several MS squads deployed during the attack on Olivernotes. The team consist of four normal Clanche units piloted by Jonathan, Shanalua, David, and Odeck, led by Seric Abis's Clanche Custom. During the battle in Olivernotes, David was killed when his unit was destroyed by Vagan forces.

In A.G. 164, the Clanche is one of the Earth Federation's most advanced frontline mobile suits. Clanche units appear in many major battles such as at Roustroulan and Luna Base.
