The G2-Saviour (pronounced "Gee Second Saviour", aka "G-Saviour") is a mobile suit appearing in the June 2000 issue of Hobby Japan.

Technology & Characteristics[]

This mobile suit is a variant of the original G-Saviour and is thus part of the Saviour series of mobile suits. While the basic components of the G2-Saviour remain the same, including the head and torso units, but a new double-jointed frame unit is incorporated into the design. This new design has improved the flexibility and responsiveness of the frame.[1] However, due to the addition of the new frame unit, the area from the knee to the ankles of the mobile suit have become bulky, so thrusters have been added to increase mobility.[1] Although the frame unit was originally intended as an optional part for the G-Saviour, the mobile suit exhibited drastically different performance and characteristics, and was consequently nicknamed the G2-Saviour by the Saviour team.[1]

Armaments[]

  • 30mm Vulcan Guns
A pair of vulcan guns located in the head. Not as powerful as beam weapons, but can be used against close enemies.
  • Beam Rifle
A rapid-fire beam rifle, it is the same type used by the G-Saviour.
  • Beam Saber
Standard beam sabers used for close range combat. The G2-Saviour is equipped with two beam sabers, one stored on the backpack and the other emitted from a left forearm-mounted beam generator on the beam shield unit.
  • Beam Shield
A shield that is emitted from a beam generator located on the left arm.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Double-Jointed Frame
A mobile suit frame constructed by the Saviour team that was first tested on the G2-Saviour.[1] The double-jointed frame is more responsive than the original rigid single-jointed frame of the G-Saviour, and was later used in the G3-Saviour and J-SAVIOUR J-Saviour.

History[]

During the development of the G-Saviour in U.C. 0222, the Saviour team considered using the frame unit, but the individual joint units were small, causing slight torque loss. The frame unit was subsequently shelved as its performance under gravity was considered inadequate.[1] However, after the Battle of Gaea in U.C. 0223, high maneuverability and high responsiveness was sought, particularly in zero gravity conditions. As such, the Saviour team continued development on the shelved frame, and a new system for maneuvering under gravity was developed.[1] The final result is an improvement over the G-Saviour in terms of speed and maneuverability. The performance of the frame unit proved so exceptional that it became the new standard for Illuminati's mobile suits, such as the J-Saviour. Additionally, equipment tested on the G2-Saviour was later incorporated into the G3-Saviour.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The arms, legs, rear skirt armor and beam generator of the G2-Saviour are identical to those of the G3-Saviour.
  • The G2-Saviour's improved mobile suit frame may be a reference to the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II's improved movable frame.
