The GAT-X303K Gundam Aegis Knight (ガンダムイージスナイト, GAT-X303K Gundam Aegis Knight^?) is a Gunpla appearing in Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE. Based on the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, it is built and piloted by Kazami Torimachi.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Kazami's new Gunpla, the Gundam Aegis Knight further improves on the defensive performance of his former Gunpla, the ZGMF-X19AK Gundam Justice Knight. Although the Gundam Aegis Knight's base unit is the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, which has inferior performance to the ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice Gundam (his former Gunpla's base unit) in the Cosmic Era universe, this is of no consequence in GBN. This is because the base unit's combat abilities in their story are not applied to the Gunpla's performance in the game.

The Gundam Aegis Knight was built with the concept of extending its defensive capabilities over a wide area to protect the BUILD DiVERS. Besides having a shield with a larger defensive area, the Gunpla also have improved mobility so as to quickly head to its allies to protect them and offensive abilities to instantly defeat the enemies targeting its allies. This resulted in the Gundam Aegis Knight playing an extremely important role in the team's defenses. Like its base unit, the Gundam Aegis Knight can transform from Mobile Suit Mode to Mobile Armor Mode. Its Mobile Armor Mode has two different forms: High-Speed Cruising Mode and Assault Combat Mode.

Armaments

• KT-E05R Raitei Shot Lancer Kai

The main weapon of the Aegis Knight is a modified version of the Gundam Justice Knight's Shot Lancer. The four beam guns' firepower for attacking mid and long-distance opponents and the penetrating power of the launchable lance section has been greatly upgraded, resulting in power akin to a god-king's thunderbolt.

• AS-1215 Aegis Shield

The Circle Shield has undergone major refurbishments and became the Aegis Shield based on the shield used by a god. It has overall improved defensive capabilities.

• KT-R01B Laevatein Beam Rapier

A beam rapier that is usually mounted on the back of the Aegis Shield. Kazumi build it to resemble a magic sword.

• KT-HBS06GW Keraunos Hyper Beam Sword

A handheld weapon formed from the combination of the Aegis Shield, the Laevatein Beam Rapier, the entire handle section of the Raitei Shot Lancer Kai and the two side skirt armor. As implied by its name, the Keraunos Hyper Beam Sword emits a huge green beam blade with maximum power when used. The head and chest of the Aegis Knight unfold to turn into King Mode when the weapon is used. According to Kazumi, this shift to King Mode is solely for dramatic effect.

• Beam Saber

A total of four Beam Sabers can be emitted from the bottom of the feet and the inside of the shoulder armor to damage enemy unit caught in the grasp of the Assault Combat Mode.

• Energy Cannon

Hidden behind the center black piece in the chest, it can be used in Assault Combat Mode and fires a powerful beam similar to that of the Aegis Gundam's "Scylla" 580mm Multi-phase Energy Cannon.

Special Equipment & Features

• Core Fighter

Parts of the Aegis Knight not used in forming the Re:Rising Gundam can combine and function as a Core Fighter.
