The GN-1001N Seravee Gundam Scheherazade (セラヴィーガンダムシェヘラザード , aka Scheherazade?) is a Gunpla that appears in the Gundam Build Divers series. Based on the GN-008 Seravee Gundam, it is built and piloted by Shahryar.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A custom Gunpla based on the Seravee Gundam.[1] This is a high-performance machine with high mobility despite its large body, and high firepower created through the genius assembly skills of its builder, Shahryar.[1][2] However, its true value lies in the hidden gimmicks, which have been passed down from the Seravee and its ancestor, the GN-005 Gundam Virtue.[1][2]

The Seravee Gundam Scheherazade can obtain thrust and firepower equal to a battleship by docking with the Ptolemaios Arms, a support unit which functions as a backpack.[2] Depending on where the various sections of the Ptolemaios Arms attach to and their usage methods, the Scheherazade can switch between "Jinn Mode", which boosts the Gunpla's middle to long-range attack capabilities, and the "Efreet Mode", which focuses on close to mid-range combat.[2] It also possible to use the Ptolemaios Arms itself as a weapon for a maximum firepower attack.[2]

Armaments[]

  • GN Physical Bazooka
A refurbished handheld physical projectile weapon from Gundam Virtue's alternate armament plan.[2] A stay is added to the weapon, helping to fix it to the forearm when in use, reducing recoil and improving accuracy during shooting.[2]
  • GN Beam Container
Long range beam cannons are built into the Ptolemaios Arms' four containers, which are located on the waist and back in the Scheherazade's "Jinn Mode".[2][3] The GN Beam Containers can fire through the front white piece either standard pink beams or uniquely colored beam from each container that can combine into a larger multi-colored beam.[3][4]
  • GN Claw Container
The GN Beam Container can also function as handheld melee weapon; its back can be unfolded, revealing claw units for close combat.[2] Furthermore, the base of the claws can be shot out for dealing with enemies at a distance.[2]
  • GN Missile
A barrage of GN Missiles can be fired from the body of the Ptolemaios Arms.[3]
  • Beam Cannon
A beam cannon is hidden in the nose of the Ptolemaios Arms.[3]
  • GN Ptolemy Cannon
Scheherazade's maximum firepower attack.[2] The entire Ptolemaios Arms is held in front of the Gunpla via a pair of unfolded side grips near the back of the support unit, and a strong GN particle beam is fired from the unit's nose beam cannon.[2][4] Also known as the 'Bombardment Mode' of the Ptolemaios Arms.[4] Before attacking, Shahryar will utter the phrase "Blow simoom! Alf layla wa-layla!" or "Blow, desert! One thousand and one nights!"[5][6]
  • Beam Javelin
Captured from an enemy unit, it is a spear-like weapon with several beam blades at the top.[7] Due to its long handle, the weapon has a long reach, providing considerable advantage in close quarters combat. It can also be used as a throwing weapon.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Ptolemaios Arms
A multi-purpose support unit based on the Celestial Being's tactical mothership, the CBS-70 Ptolemaios, it also shares the same nickname 'Ptolemy'.[2][3][4] As it was built by the world famous Gunpla Builder, Shahryar, it has high workmanship and high extensibility, being able to attach to other kits besides the Scheherazade.[8] On its own, it has outstanding cruising abilities, and can be used as long-distance transport for divers, where one diver serves as the pilot and another as the gunner.[2][3] Each of its sections can also serve as armed units when docked to the the Scheherazade, giving the Gundam various attack options.[2] It is armed with four GN Beam Containers, a beam cannon in the nose and can fire multiple GN Missiles.[3] The entire unit can also be used as a weapon - the GN Ptolemy Cannon.[2]
  • Jinn Mode & Efreet Mode
Depending on where the sections of the Ptolemaios Arms attach to and their usage methods, Scheherazade can switch between two modes. The middle to long-range combat "Jinn Mode" has the Ptolemaios Arms' A Unit (the front section) attaching to the back, the B Unit (the rear section) attaching to the rear waist, and the C and D Units (the two bottom GN Beam Containers) attaching to the sides of the rear waist.[2][3][4] For the close to mid-range combat "Efreet Mode", the two bottom GN Beam Containers are used as handheld GN Claw Containers, the A Unit attaches to the back, a part of the B Unit attaches to the rear waist while the other parts attach to the Scheherazade's feet, lengthening its legs.[2]
  • GN Field
Like its base Gunpla, the Seravee, the Scheherazade can generate a barrier known as GN Field for defensive purposes.[3] Scheherazade can also expand the GN Field to physically push away enemy unit.[3]
A system that improves the Gunpla's specifications more than three-fold when activated, and as a side-effect, the unit glows red during this time. However, once the system reach its activation time limit, the Gunpla's mobility drops greatly until the stored particles are recharged.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The Ptolemaios Arms is similar in concept to the MSN-001M Mega-Shiki's Mega Ride Launcher - both are support units that also function as their respective Gunpla's backpack, and can also be used as a large beam cannon held by both hands.
  • The Seravee Gundam Scheherazade's name is likely a reference to Scheherazade, a character and the storyteller in One Thousand and One Nights.​​​​​​ Its model number, "1001N", also seem to reference the name of the story.
    • Shahryar's special attack, "alf layla wa layla", is the Arabic title of One Thousand and One Nights.
