07.27Drache Gundam
Unit type: mobile suit
Overall height: 20.9 meters
Overall weight: 57.4 metric tons
Equipment: GN Tau Drive x 3, GN Field generator, Trans-Am System, Core Fighter
Armament: GN buster sword kai x 2 (GN mega blade x 1), GN beam saber x 4, GN mega launcher x 2, GN missile x 24, GN fang x 24
Notes: A greatly improved version of the Arche, integrating some of the Jagd’s features. It has greatly increased particle storage and even more GN Verniers to make up for the weight (the stealth field was omitted), and it possesses ferocious straight-line acceleration. It’s weapon systems have been significantly overhauled: a tremendously powerful GN Mega Launcher extends over each shoulder, allowing devastating antiship firepower, while it has a pair of beam sabers mounted in it’s elbows. It has two larger, more powerful GN Buster Swords, which can combine into a single large ‘GN Mega Blade’. It is also capable of generating a GN Field, and features twice as many GN Fangs and Missiles as the Jagd Arche.
Finally, it features the Trans-Am System, though only one drive can Trans-Am at a time for stability reasons. Still, it can go into Trans-Am, then use a second drive for Trans-Am once the first is finished, and so on and so forth, thus giving the Drache an unprecedented 9 minutes of Trans-Am if it pushes things to the limit. This level of output has it’s downsides, however: as each drive is used up and destroyed, the Arche will rapidly begin having GN Particle consumption issues and lose the ability to use some of it’s armament, beginning with the mega launchers and the GN Field.
