The GNMA-0001V2 Regnant 2 is a variant of the GNMA-0001V Regnant introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 00N.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The Innovades that called themselves Innovators wanted a powerful machine that could battle multiple enemies single-handedly so as to display the small, elite group's overwhelming might.[1][2][3] This led them to develop large mobile armor equipped with multiple GN Drive Taus, resulting in the GNMA-0001V Regnant.[1][2][3][4] Although the Regnant was given to A-Laws pilot and sponsor, Louise Halevy, this did not change the fact that it was developed for the Innovators' use and the group had a plan to mass produce the mobile armor.[1][3][5][6] A second unit of the Regnant, the GNMA-0001V2 Regnant 2, was thus developed as a template for mass production.[1][3][5][6]

The Regnant 2 retained the original Regnant's weaponry and mechanism for transforming from mobile armor form to mobile suit form.[1][2][3][5] Additionally, there is no major differences in basic performance between the two, with the Regnant 2 also having mostly the same structure as the original, with the exception of its head, which was changed following a review of the sensor system design.[1][2][3] The Regnant 2's new head has a wider sensing range, and this was thought to have a positive impact on the usage of the mobile armor's weapons.[1][2][3] Rollout of the Regnant 2 was just around the corner when the final battle with the Celestial Being broke out, but unfortunately, the Innovators was defeated before the mobile armor could be completed.[1][2][3][6]

Armaments[]

  • GN Beam Cannon
A chest-mounted beam cannon, it is usable in both mobile armor and mobile suit forms.[3] This is the same GN Beam Cannon as equipped by the original Regnant, and besides having high attack power, its fired beam can also curve to a certain extent, making it difficult to evade.[3][5][7][8]
  • GN Fang
The ten white claws on the Regnant 2's hands can be launched as remote-controlled weaponry called "GN Fangs".[3] These are the same GN Fangs as used by the original Regnant, and they can assault one or more enemy units from multiple directions at once.[3][9][10] The GN Fangs have two ways of attacking: 1) ramming into enemy machine, slicing it into pieces, and 2) they are equipped with a built-in beam cannon each, allowing them to fire beams from a rectangular opening at the bottom.[9][10][11][12] When attached to the Regnant 2's hands, the GN Fangs can serve as melee weapons, and their beam cannons are also usable in this state.[3][9][13]
  • Egner Whip
The Regnant 2 has two Egner Whips, one mounted in each palm, and they are the identical to those of the original Regnant.[3] When used, a wire-linked white capsule is launched from the palm, and once it is in proximity with an enemy machine, four more wires are released from the capsule's tip in different directions to capture/restrain one or more enemy units.[3][5][7][14] Furthermore, electrical energy is transmitted across the whip to electrocute the enemy pilot.[3][7] Like the original Regnant's Egner Whips, it is likely that the four wires can be launched from the capsule's tip without deploying the capsule itself.[14]
  • GN Micro Missile
Stored in the Regnant 2's forearms, the GN Micro Missiles are miniaturized version of the GN Missiles.[3] Identical to those of the original Regnant, these GN Micro Missiles released upon contact with their targets highly concentrated GN Particles, destroying the enemies from the inside.[3][5] When used, the GN Micro Missiles are released from two hatches on the outer side of each forearm, they then activate their propulsion system and fly toward their target.[3][14]
  • Anti-ship GN Sword
Like the original Regnant, the two wings of the Regnant 2 can function as Anti-ship GN Swords.[3][5] The pair of huge swords enable the mobile armor to slice apart enemy ship or unit as it passes by.[5]
  • GN Vulcan
As with the original Regnant, the Regnant 2 has a pair of GN Vulcans, one in each of the triangular opening on the thighs, and they are usable in both mobile armor and mobile suit forms.[3][5]

Special Equipment & Features[]

Like the original Regnant, the Regnant 2 can likely deploy a spherical GN Field barrier around itself for defense. Created using a large amount of compressed GN Particles, this barrier has high defensive power and can block most physical and beam attacks.[5][15] However, it is not impenetrable, and can be pierced by, among others, certain melee weapons such as the GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser's GN Sword II.[9][15]
The operating system of the Innovators' GNZ series MS (such as the GNZ-003 Gadessa) is linked to Veda, allowing these machines and their pilots to receive support from the quantum processing system, enhancing their performance.[14][16][17] This possibly also applies to the Regnant 2.
  • Bit Control System
A system that allows a mobile weapon's pilot to control the machine's remote weaponry.

History[]

Mobile Suit Gundam 00N Chapter 14[]

The Innovators did not have a chance to deploy the Regnant 2 as it was still on verge of rollout when the group was defeated. The original GNMA-0001V Regnant was able to engage multiple Gundams by itself, and if the Regnant 2 and subsequent mass production machines were put into combat, it was thought that this would cause the final battle with Celestial Being to turn out differently. With Celestial Being defeated, the Innovators would continue interfering greatly with human society. Needless to say, the encounter with the alien lifeform, the Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter, would also be affected and whether the "dialogue" could be established is unknown.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Regnant 2 was based on one of the draft designs for the Regnant. Originally, two Regnants were planned to appear in the anime. Regnant 2’s head was supposed to be the head unit for Louise's Regnant.
