The GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair (aka Dynames Repair) is the repaired version of the GN-002 Gundam Dynames introduced in the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A wakening of the Trailblazer- movie. It was piloted by Lockon Stratos.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Celestial Being avoided conspicuous armed interventions as much as possible after defeating the Innovades who falsely claimed to be Innovators.[1][2][3][4] This is because armed interventions using the Gundams had taken on a greater meaning, and might even trigger unwanted military expansion.[1][3] Thus, Celestial Being now intervenes only when the Earth Sphere Federation government could not manage the situation, and actively uses mobile suits other than Gundams, but the use of Gundams is unavoidable for some missions.[1][3][5] However, with Celestial Being still developing new Gundams to replace those heavily damaged during the final battle with the Innovades, the organization has to rely on refurbished Gundams, such as the GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair.[2][3][6] As its name implied, Dynames Repair is the repaired and modified version of the GN-002 Gundam Dynames that was badly damaged during the battle with UN Forces in AD 2308.[7][8][9][10]
Unlike Dynames, Dynames Repair is powered by a particle storage tank, also known as a large GN Condenser, instead of a GN Drive.[8][9][11][12] This change is because Celestial Being lost three of its five GN Drives during the fight with the Innovades, and the two surviving GN Drives have been transferred to the new Gundams under development.[8][13][14][15] Other than a different power source, the only other notable difference between Dynames Repair and Dynames is that the rear waist unit of the Dynames Repair has been enlarged, with the number of built-in GN Verniers increasing from two to four.[7][8][11][16] Overall, the Dynames Repair is mostly unchanged from Dynames, with minor modifications made to modernize the mobile suit.[8] Since the Earth Sphere Federation's strict monitoring and full control of the Orbital Elevators made it impossible to transport the Gundams between Earth and space[1][2][3][7], the Dynames Repair is one of the Gundams that Celestial Being stationed on Earth for planetary operations.[1][7][8][17]
Combat-wise, the Dynames Repair retained the shooting capabilities of the Dynames[9], and like the latter, it has a hidden camera in the forehead that is revealed during precision shooting.[9][16][18][19] The known armaments of the Dynames Repair included a GN Sniper Rifle, two GN Beam Sabers, and a GN Full Shield.[7][16][17] While the GN Sniper Rifle and GN Beam Sabers resembled those used by Dynames, that is not the case for the GN Full Shield. The Dynames Repair's GN Full Shield not only has a different shape and clear parts in its front sections[8][9][11][20], it is also said to have improved defensive performance and can enhance the mobile suit's stealth capabilities.[7] While unconfirmed, the Dynames Repair may possibly be armed with GN Missiles like the Dynames, as its front waist armor and knees, where the missiles are stored, appeared unchanged from the latter.
Armaments[]
- GN Sniper Rifle
- A high-output beam firearm used by GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair for precise, long-range shooting[16][17][18], it resembled the GN Sniper Rifle used by the GN-002 Gundam Dynames. Similar to Dynames, Dynames Repair reveals its concealed forehead camera when using its GN Sniper Rifle.[9][16][18][19] When not in use, the rifle is mounted on the right side of Dynames Repair’s rear waist unit.[7][8][11][16]
- GN Full Shield
- The GN Full Shield equipped by Dynames Repair has improved defensive performance compared to that of the Dynames[7], and featured several design changes, such as a different shape, with the side sections being more rectangular, and the majority of its front sections being made from clear materials.[8][9][11][20] The Dynames Repair's GN Full Shield also enhances the mobile suit's stealth capabilities.[7] It is said that the shield's clear front sections are capable of changing their degree of transparency, and can be used for optical camouflage.[18][20] Like Dynames' GN Full Shield, the Dynames Repair's GN Full Shield is attached to articulated frames on both shoulders, enabling it to rotate to the front, sides or rear.[16][19][20][21]
- GN Beam Saber
- Like Dynames, the Dynames Repair is equipped with a pair of GN Beam Sabers, a melee weapon that emits a beam blade made of GN Particles when drawn.[7][9][19][22] The two GN Beam Sabers are stored on the front of the rear waist unit, and they swing out to the sides for drawing by the mobile suit's hands.[7][11]
- GN Missile
- The Dynames is equipped with 24 GN Missiles, 16 smaller ones in the front waist armor and 4 larger ones on each knee.[9][10][19] With the Dynames Repair being a minor modification of the Dynames[8], and its front waist armor and knees appearing unchanged from the latter, it may possibly have these GN Missiles as well. Upon hitting their targets, the covers of the GN Missiles will extend outward and release compressed GN Particles to destroy enemies from the inside.[9][10][19]
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Dock for Haro
- Haro is the name of small versatile robots with individual AIs that Celestial Being uses for support and maintenance of their ships and mobile suits.[19][23][24] Like the GN-002 Gundam Dynames, an orange-colored Haro can be placed on the right side of the GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair's cockpit.[16][19][25] The orange Haro is known to assist with the control of the GN Full Shield, evasive maneuvers, system adjustments, etc., while Dynames' pilot concentrated on shooting[19][21][25][26], and it presumably assisted the Dynames Repair's pilot in similar ways.
- It seemed that Dynames Repair retained the optical camouflage system of the Dynames.[18][20][27] This system deploys an external camouflage membrane over the Gundam, blending it into its environment and making it look invisible.[27]
- A special system that when activated would fully release all of the compressed high-density GN Particles accumulated in the Gundam, enhancing its mobility and defensive capabilities as well as allowing it to perform at three times its normal output for a limited time.[5][10][28][29] Additionally, the entire Gundam appears red and afterimages are generated when moving.[5][10][28][29] Unfortunately, the Trans-Am System is a double-edged sword, as once it ended, the Gundam's performance would drop as all its GN Particles were used up.[5][10][13][29] The Trans-Am System was originally limited to Gundams powered by GN Drive, but it was later made available to Gundams powered by large GN Condenser.[13][14][16][30] This was thanks to the improved GN Condenser developed by Sherilyn Hyde after the final battle with the Innovades who falsely claimed to be Innovators.[3][30][31] As such, it is likely that the large GN Condenser-powered Dynames Repair could use Trans-Am System when required.
- The operating system of Celestial Being's Gundams used to be linked to Veda, allowing the quantum processing system to provide piloting support.[32] The actions of traitors in AD 2308 forced the switch to a stand-alone operating system[32], and it was until AD 2312 that Celestial Being reconnected with Veda.[33] As the organization resumed usage of the quantum processing system in its operations[6][16], it is possible that the Veda-linked operating system was installed in Dynames Repair.
History[]
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A wakening of the Trailblazer-[]
AD 2314. Lockon Stratos descended to Earth to find Allelujah Haptism and Soma Peries after Celestial Being realized that the alien species "Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter" (ELS) was attacking humans on Earth who have quantum brainwaves. Piloting the GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair, Lockon arrived in Mongolia and found that Allelujah and Soma were being chased by vehicles controlled by the ELS. Using the Dynames Repair's GN Sniper Rifle, Lockon sniped and eliminated the vehicles one by one. Once all the threats have been neutralized, Lockon landed the Dynames Repair to pick up Allelujah and Soma.
Gundam EXA[]
Leos Alloy arrived in the virtual replica of the Anno Domini world, sometime after the battle with the Innovades who falsely claimed to be Innovators and before the encounter with ELS, to collect combat data on the true Innovators. With Lockon away on a mission in space, Leos stole the Dynames Repair, and engaged Setsuna F. Seiei and his GN-001REIII Gundam Exia Repair III in a sniping battle. The fight came to an abrupt halt when EX- and his Extreme Gundam Tachyon Phase suddenly appeared before Leos. As Leos argued with EX- over the latter's interference, Setsuna rushed in for close combat after judging the Extreme Gundam Tachyon Phase to be an enemy.[18]
As Exia Repair III approached, EX- and his Extreme Gundam Tachyon Phase backed away, forcing Leos to drop the Dynames Repair's GN Sniper Rifle and draw one of its GN Beam Sabers to block Exia Repair III's GN Sword Kai. However, Dynames Repair was no match for Exia Repair III in close combat, and was quickly disarmed of its GN Beam Saber. To continue his mission, Leos abandoned Dynames Repair and switched to his Extreme Gundam Type Leos Xenon Phase. The battle eventually ended when Tieria Erde intervened with his CB-002/GD Raphael Gundam Dominions, enabling Setsuna and his Exia Repair III to escape.[22]
