Technology & Combat Characteristics

A remodeled version the Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina when Rondo Mina Sahaku transfers it to the next Sahaku family head . It was named " Hana " after Kazahana Aja, who was chosen as the successor.

In terms of appearance, the black part of Amatsu Mina has been changed to white, and the color scheme has been restored to the color of the original Gundam Astray Gold Frame. The armor color of the right arm has also been changed to white to match the body. While Kazahana my have been chosen as the successor, but due to poor piloting skills, Lash Winslet, who was also a candidate for the Sahaku family, served as the main pilot, and Kazahana became the sub-pilot. Because of this specification, the cockpit became a double-seat type.

Armaments

"Igelstellung" 75mm Multi-Barrel CIWS: The "Igelstellung" 75mm Multi-Barrel CIWS are head mounted Vulcan guns. CIWS is typically inadequate for dealing with mobile suit-grade armor, but is sufficient for destroying small high speed targets such as missiles, small ground vehicles, and soft targets.

"Maga no Ikutachi" Energy Absorption Claw: The same back-mounted weapon as used by the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. These "claws" forcefully discharge the electrical energy from the batteries of enemy mobile suits through the use of mirage colloid related technology, disabling them while at the same time recharging Gold Frame Amatsu Hana's own battery.

"Magashira no Hoko" Harpoon: Like the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, the Amatsu Hana is equipped with a pair "Magashira no Hoko" harpoons, which are equipped with Phase Shift technology and thus can penetrate virtually any armor. Each harpoon is attached to a cable for power and recovery. Like the absorption claws, the harpoons are mounted on the back.

"Trikeros Kai" Offensive Shield System: Inherited from the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, the "Trikeros Kai" is armed with the triple "Lancer Dart" hypervelocity kinetic energy penetrator, and a beam rifle that can also function as a beam saber by emitting a beam blade from the rifle's barrel. The sharp outer edges of the shield is usable as a melee weapon.

"Tsumuha no Tachi" Triple Claw: Equipped on the left forearm, the three claws extend when in use, where they are used for one of two purposes - 1) stop or rob the enemy's weapon, 2) unbalance or stop part of the enemy's movement. Overall, the claws are meant to neutralise the enemy's attack while dealing little damage.

"Totsuka no Tsurugi" Saber: Stored on the side armor when not in use, the pair of "Totsuka no Tsurugi" sabers are shaped like rapiers and are unsuitable for slashing attacks. Instead, they are meant for pinpoint piercing attack to the joints and sensors of enemy MS. As a result, they require a high degree of skill to use effectively. When used properly, they can immobilize the enemy while dealing minimal amount of damage.

Special Equipment & Features

Mirage Colloid Stealth System: This system is inherited from Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and allows the suit to disappear from both visual and sensor detection.
