The PFF-X7II/S6 Saturnix Gundam (サタニクスガンダム, PFF-X7II/S6 Saturnix Gundam^?) is a Gunpla that appears in Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE. A variant of the PFF-X7II Core Gundam II, it is built and piloted by Hiroto Kuga.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Saturnix Gundam is the heavily equipped melee combat form of the Core Gundam II docked with the Saturn Armor through the PLANETS System. Its equipment is based on the motif of tools and heavy machinery and was built under the concept of crushing opponents with overwhelming power. The Saturn Armor has built-in power enhancement device that can deliver a heavy blow to its enemies from any location. The armor was originally designed for combat against units that used Gundam Frames, but it was deployed under unexpected circumstances on the Planet Eldora against an Universal Century-type enemy. Although it wasn't named after a devil, the Gundam has the appearance of one.

Armaments

• Breaker Drill

A drill unit built exclusively for the Saturnix. It can penetrate various armor by drilling at super high speeds and applying continuous blows.

• Vise Pliers

An arm unit that can not only pinch targets strongly, but also crushes them. It's almost impossible for enemies caught by it to escape.

• Meganic Driver

A large, heavy tool/armament created by connecting the Breaker Drill and Vise Pliers. Their destructive power is further enhanced through the combined output of both units. The Meganic Driver can be equipped on the forearm, and through rotation, it is possible to switch between using the the Breaker Drill section or the Vise Pliers section.

• Beam Saber

As the output of the Core Gundam II's Core Sabers have been improved, the performance of the Saturnix Gundam's Beam Sabers are enhanced as well. The pair of Beam Sabers are stored on the back when not in use.

• Core Defenser

Carried over from the Core Gundam II, it is mounted on the back and can function as handheld shield. It also has built-in Beam Vulcans.

Special Equipment & Features

• Roller Unit

The roller units on both heels allow for high-speed maneuvers on land despite being a heavily equipped Mobile Suit.

• PLANETS System

Like the original Core Gundam, the Core Gundam II can make use of the PLANETS System to dock with support mechas named after the various planets of the Solar System, changing its equipment, characteristics and performance. This change can be done even during mid-combat, with the Saturnix Gundam using the Saturn Armor. The Saturn Armor specializes in assault tactics using the Meganic Driver mounted on the unit's center.

History

The Saturnix Gundam was used in the battle against the MSF-007SS Gundam Seltsam. Even though the Gundam Seltsam is an Universal Century-type unit instead of a Gundam Frame from the Post Disaster timeline, which the Saturn Armor is designed for, the Saturnix Gundam was able to hold its own against it and played a critical role in the Seltsam's defeat.

Sometime after the victory over Alus, the Saturn Armor was given to Freddie, who spends some time test-flying the machine.

Notes & Trivia

• Its name is a portmanteau of Saturn, sixth planet in the Solar System, and the number six.
  • Its name may also be a pun; the pronounciation of the Katakana "Saturnix (サタニクス, Satanikusu^?)" sounds like "Satanics".
• The Saturn Armor's orange color scheme and Kazami's comment that it is "perfect for hunting a demon" after learning that it is for use against Gundam Frames could be references to the Dainsleif weapon deployed by Graze (Dáinsleif Mounted) against the Gundams (named after demons) in Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS.
