PFF-X7II/U7 Uraven Gundam

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The PFF-X7II/U7 Uraven Gundam (ユーラヴェンガンダム, PFF-X7II/U7 Uraven Gundam^?) is a Gunpla appearing in Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE. A variant of the PFF-X7II Core Gundam II, it is built and piloted by Hiroto Kuga.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A form of the Core Gundam II docked with the Uranus Armor, the Uraven specializes in long-range sniping and was built under the concept of enabling high-precision sniping in all situations. The Earthree Gundam was chosen as its base design due to its all-round features, and was tuned to specialize in shooting while having abilities that made it more than competent in regular combat. The Uraven Gundam can deploy Sensor Bits equipped with multi-sensors around itself, enabling it to perform ultra-high-precision sniper attacks with its Beam Shoot Rifle U7.

Armaments

• Beam Shoot Rifle U7

Parts of the Uranus Armor can combine with the Core Gundam II's Core Spray Gun to form the Beam Shoot Rifle U7. It can switch between the normal Beam Rifle Mode and the Sniper Rifle Mode, where the barrel extends. A small shield with a built-in I-Field generator is attached to the side of the weapon to function as a defense measure during sniping.

• Beam Saber

As the output of the Core Gundam II's Core Sabers have been improved, the performance of the Uraven Gundam's Beam Sabers are enhanced as well. The pair of Beam Sabers are stored on the back when not in use.

• Sensor Bit

Stored on the shoulders and back of the Uraven Gundam, the three remote-controlled multi-sensor units can be released for tasks such as range-finding, enabling ultra-high precision sniping. The bits themselves can attack enemies due to their small, built-in Beam Vulcans. They can also be connected to the sides of the Beam Shoot Rifle U7 to function as enhanced sights.

• Core Defenser

Carried over from the Core Gundam II, it is mounted on the back and can function as handheld shield. It also has built-in Beam Vulcans.

Special Equipment & Features

• PLANETS System

Like the original Core Gundam, the Core Gundam II can make use of the PLANETS System to dock with support mechas named after the various planets of the Solar System, changing its equipment, characteristics and performance. This change can be done even during mid-combat, with the Uraven Gundam using the Uranus Armor. The Uranus Armor has improved scouting capabilities and shooting accuracy due to its additional sensors, making it an extremely effective support unit.

• Leg Sensor Unit

The thruster armor on the outside of the legs can be separated and used as a pair of wired sensor units.

History

The Uraven Gundam served as a rear guard when the BUILD DiVERS was assisting with the evacuation of the villagers to the ruins to protect them from attacks by One-eyes' units. Using its three sensor bits, the Uraven Gundam detected multiple Eldora Armys and Eldora Windams approaching the village and with this information, Hiroto guided the other team members to engage the enemies. The Uraven Gundam also provided cover fire by sniping when needed. However, the sensor bits were soon taken out by Alus Earthree Gundam's sniper fire. After dodging a shot aimed at the Uraven Gundam, Hiroto warned the members of the new danger and deployed the pair of leg sensor units from behind cover to monitor the situation. When the Alus Earthree Gundam fired again, the Uraven Gundam intercepted the shot with its own. Then, based on the information collected by the sensor bits, Hiroto figured out the enemy's location and sniped, destroying the Alus Earthree Gundam's beam rifle. Uranus armor was then swapped out for Earth Armor as Hiroto continued the fight with Alus Earthree Gundam using the Earthree Gundam.
