GNR-001 GN Arms Type E[xia] (aka GN Arms E, GN Arms) is a mobile armor/weapons platform created for Gundam Exia. The unit is piloted by Lasse Aeon.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Designed after the technical and combat data of GN-XXX+GNR-000 Sefer Rasiel and GN-001/hs-A01D Gundam Avalanche Exia`, Celestial Being (CB) engineers originally tested Gundam Rasiel and the Sefer units to perfect add-on peripheral equipment in mid-battle while also perfecting the applications of GN Bit technology. Unfortunately, development of GN Bit technology for the third generation Gundams was halted after the lost of Sefer Rasiel. However, CB engineers continued to develop a new support/peripheral system(s) to increase and enhance the Gundams’ combat abilities and the GN Arms was their end-result in their research and development.

The GN Arms are part of a limited-produced series and the successors to the GNR-000 GN Sefer. Only two units were completed and both of them were modified to reflect the combat capabilities of their Gundams; GN Arms Type-E is fitted to complement GN-001 Gundam Exia. However, the units are part of a larger tactical system.

In GN Arms Mode, GN Arms Type-E fights like a aerial assault craft; armed with two powerful GN-Cannons, GN-Arms Type-E is able to fly at high speeds with firepower similar to Virtue's GN Bazooka. The weapons it carries are reflective on the combat themes of the Gundam assigned to it. However, a common weapon feature in all GN Arms are the fixed GN Cannons on the top. As fixed weapons, the weapons can only successfully shoot down its target relative to the body positioning of the unit itself.

When the GN Arms Type-E combines with Exia, it becomes known as the GN Armor Type-E.[2] The GN Armor itself isn't highly maneuverable with high speed opponents; it compensates with a GN Field against enemy fire. The weapons compliments is based on the weapons and themes of their Gundam counterpart. In GN Armor configuration, Exia can utilize two large GN swords for melee combat.

For easy and compact transport of GN-Arms and the Gundams, CB engineers created the Assault Container. The Assault Container is a miniature heavy-assault MS carrier and only two were created to complement the two GN Arms. The design of the Assault Container is especially useful in atmospheric entry and exit, with the deployed GN-Field only need to cover small surface area during both processes.

Armaments

  • GN Claw
Refined and modified over the GN Claws taken from the GN-001/hs-A01D Gundam Avalanche Exia`, the GN Arms' claws are only usable in MA mode. However, unlike the Gundam Avalanche Exia`, the GN Arms' claws cannot create a beam saber at the tip.
  • Large GN Cannons
Two large cannons are built on top of the GN Arms. While no official information has been released, the firepower (based on observation) is similar to Virtue's GN Bazooka.
  • Large GN Sword
GN Arms Type-E is shown to carry two large GN Blades for melee combat. Because it's themed after Exia, the GN Sword has GN Beam Guns stored behind both GN Blades for shooting and slicing.
  • GN Beam Gun
The GN Beam Guns are stored behind both GN Swords.They are for shooting as the GN Sword is themed by Exia.

System Features

Utilizing the power of a Gundam's GN Drive, GN Arms can siphon the GN particles from a solar furnace to generate a particle field.
GN Arms alone can't utilize Trans-Am, but by siphoning GN particles from a Gundam, Trans-Am power can be shared in between both units when linked together.

History

Defending Ptolemy

After suffering several losses against Celestial Being, the UN Forces were granted access to 30 GN Drives which resulted in the creation of the GNX-603T GN-X - a mobile suit that could resist Celestial Being. Fearing the possibility of defeat, Sumeragi Lee Noriega had Lasse Aeon and Ian Vashti retrieve the GN Arms from one of their lagrange resource satellites. Lasse retrieved GN Arms Type E, while Ian retrieved GN Arms Type-D.

Lasse/GN Arms Type-E made it back in time to assist the Ptolemy crew after their first encounter with UN Forces with their GN-X's in space. Lasse would later transport Setsuna/Exia down to Earth to assist him in his investigations while testing out the capabilities in between GN Arms Type E and the Assault Container.

Aiding Setsuna

In the final events of A.D. 2308, UN Forces successfully fended off Celestial Being. Last standing Gundam Meister, Setsuna F. Seiei, and Lasse/GN Arms Type-E fought against Alejandro Corner/Alvatore. GN Arms Type-E to defeat the enemy MA and won, but Lasse/GN Arms Type-E was severely damaged to continue to fight. After Setsuna/Exia defeated Alejandro/Alvaaron and subsequently disappeared, Lasse was rescued but it is unknown if the GN Arms Type-E was salvaged.
