Revision as of 04:35, 20 June 2013
The ZGMF-X11A Regenerate Gundam is a mobile suit piloted by Ash Gray, appearing in Gundam SEED Astray R.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Regenerate Gundam was derived primarily from the GAT-X303 Aegis, and like the Aegis can transform into a mobile armor attack mode. With a heigth of 35.61 meters it was the largest mobile suit ever built until the appearance of the GFAS-X1 Destroy. Like the other ZGMF-X series MS, it is equipped with Phase Shift armor and nuclear reactor.
Regenerate Gundam has 3 unique systems. First is the "Regeneration system" from which the MS mostly likely got its name from. Unlike other MS, Regenerate is modular and as a result damaged limb can be swap with spare limb prepared in advance. The MS's core and cockpit are located in the "Core Unit", a seperate module which also serves as the MS's backpack and is the second unique feature. The Core Unit is capable of independent operation and can hijack other MS after docking with them. The last unique feature is the "Lightcraft System". Using this system, Regenerate can absorb energy from GENESIS Alpha and move at speed that is not possible with normal MS thrusters.
While the other Gundam mobile suits produced by ZAFT at this time are equipped with a wide variety of weapons, the Regenerate only features a single hyper impulse beam cannon and four long beam swords. Unlike the previous two units, the ZGMF-X09A Justice and ZGMF-X10A Freedom, the Regenerate is incompatible with the METEOR support system.
Armaments
- Beam swords
- For close combat the Regenerate is equipped with four MA-X200 beam swords which are mounted on each of the Gundam's limbs, similar to the beam sabers on the Aegis.
- Hyper impulse beam cannon
- The only range weapon of the suit is the extremely powerful hyper impulse beam cannon, which is capable of destroying a space fortress with a single shot. When in mobile suit mode the cannon is carried in the MS' hand, while in MA mode it is mounted on the body of the unit.
System Features
- As with the other four Gundam units produced by ZAFT at its time, the Regenerate is equipped with a Neutron Jammer Canceller, which counters the effects of the ubiquitous Neutron Jammers and allows these suits to be powered by nuclear reactors. This gives them almost limitless combat endurance, even with Phase Shift armor activated. Both the Neutron Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor are likely to be located in the Core Unit.
- Phase Shift Armor
- Like other ZAFT produced Gundams, Regenerate is equipped with Phase Shift armor. Thanks to its N-Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor the PS armor is capable of being active for a lot longer than on non-nuclear powered suits.
- Lightcraft system
- The Regenerate is equipped with lightwave pulse thrusters which function as a special propulsion system. When in mobile armor mode, the system allows the suit to absorb the energy fired by the GENESIS Alpha gamma-ray laser to travel at very high speeds. When travelling like this, the Regenerate is often mistaken for a ship because of its size.
- Regeneration system
- Regenerate Gundam is made of several modular parts with a large number of spare parts being stored on the Regenerate's mothership. If the Gundam is damaged in battle, it can eject the damaged part and replace it with an intact unit sent from the ship.
- Core Unit
- The backpack of the MS, it contains the MS's core and cockpit. It is capable of independent operation and has a pair of sub-arms which can function as make-shift shield. Furthermore, it is also equipped with a pair of lightwave pulse thrusters similar to those on the METEOR, and can fly on its own or allows the pilot to escape the destruction of his suit. Not only this, the Core Unit is also capable of docking with another mobile suit and even take control of it if the suit has external connectors.
History
In mid CE 71, ZAFT creates a series of advanced mobile suits based on technology reverse-engineered from the captured Earth Alliance G Project suits. One of these suits is the ZGMF-X11A Regenerate which is the third of the series.
This mobile suit is piloted by ZAFT Special Forces pilot Ash Gray, and is badly damaged in a battle against the MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame and the MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame Second L . The battle ended with critical damage to Regenerate's control and thruster system, causing the Core Unit to drift endlessly into Alliance space, where both it and its pilot, Ash Gray, is captured shortly after. After two years, the Core Unit is used by the Proto-Savior, which give the Proto-Savior unlimited power due to it's nuclear reactor.
Notes & Trivia
- Regenerate's head crest displays the text "X-11A UNDICI", which means "Eleven" in Italian and is a reference to its model number, and the letter "A", referring to its nuclear power plant.
- According to MG Force Impulse's manual, Regenerate's modular system and ability to receive energy wirelessly from an external source is the inspiration for Impulse's core splendor system and the Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System respectively.
