The RX-79[G]Ez-SR2 Gundam Ez-SR Eliminator (aka Ez-SR2 Eliminator, Ez-SR Eliminator, Eliminator) is a Gunpla that appears in the anime Gundam Build Fighters Try and is piloted by Shota Nishikawa.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
This Gunpla is a modified version of the Gundam Ez8 from the Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, and one of three Gundam Ez-SRs used by the Seiren Technical College Science Club's "Team SRSC". The Eliminator traded mobility for the mounting of heavy, destructive ranged weaponry on its backpack. Its role in the team is to bombard the opponent from long-range based on the information collected by the Shadow Phantom, and to support the close-range Intruder. The Eliminator's right knee armor is redesigned to provide better stability when firing its weapon while kneeling, and thanks to the optical camouflage cloak, the Gunpla can hide from the enemies' view as it prepares its attack.
Armaments[]
- Vulcan
- A shell-firing weapon with a high-rate of fire but little power. The Eliminator is equipped with six Vulcans, two in the head and two on the front of each forearm cover, and they are used for intercepting missiles, etc.
- Swivel Vulcan
- Common to the three Gundam Ez-SRs, this shell-firing weapon is installed in the center bottom of the chest and its barrel can swivel up and down. The Swivel Vulcan is effective in destroying enemy sensors, etc.
- 180mm Cannon
- Mounted on the right side of the Eliminator's backpack, it is a highly destructive projectile-based weapon used for long-range shelling.
- Missile Launcher
- A 6-tube Missile Launcher loaded with homing missiles is mounted on the left side of the Eliminator's backpack.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Optical Camouflage Cloak
- A special cloak that allows the Eliminator to blend into its environment and be hidden from the target's view as it moves towards it. The Gunpla has to reveal the weapon it wants to use from underneath the cloak when launching an attack.
History[]
Gundam Build Fighters Try Episode Six[]
Used by Team SRSC in a battle against Team Try Fighters. The team initially overwhelmed the Try Fighters with their coordinated tactics, where each member had a clearly defined role. However, the situation was overturned by the Winning Gundam's gimmick and the Build Burning Gundam's powerful ground attack. The Eliminator tried to escape from the Lightning Gundam's sniper fire, but the latter's range was unexpectedly extended by the Winning Launcher, so the Gunpla was unable to escape and was shot down.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The instruction manual for the HGBF 1/144 Gundam Ez-SR model kit claimed that the RX-79[G]Ez-SR2 Gundam Ez-SR Eliminator's Missile Launcher is only equipped with six homing missiles, but this contradicted episode six of the anime where the Gunpla was clearly shown to have used the Missile Launcher at least twice, firing six missiles at around 16:09-16:10 and then another two missiles at 16:48.
- The RX-79[G]Ez-SR2 Gundam Ez-SR Eliminator's design may be a reference to Dragonar Unit-2 from the anime Metal Armor Dragonar.
- The letters "SR" in the gunpla's name and model code stands for "Seiren", the name of the team's technical college. They may also be a reference to the model number XD-02SR of Dragonar-2 Custom from the anime Metal Armor Dragonar.
- Although it is not shown in the anime, it is possible that the Ez-SR Eliminator is also equipped with Plavsky Craft like the Ez-SR Shadow Phantom as all three Ez-SR units share the same basic chassis.
- Ez-SR Eliminator carries a pair of 100mm Machine Gun magazines on its side skirt armor despite not using any compatible weapons. This is most likely because it uses the same side skirt armor as the Gundam Ez8.
- Like other Gundam Ez-SR, the Eliminator is named after a motorcycle - Kawasaki Eliminator.
- The three Gundam Ez-SRs are Naoki's first design for animated work.
