Yo everybody! I've decided to try my hand at a Gundam Seed AU rewrite story. And yes I know it's been done to death but frankly I don't care. That and I've lost muse for the other story ideas I have.
This page here is basically where I'll put the Mobile Suits I come up with. I'll update this page as the story goes on. So check back here from time to time.
"Raven huh. Well, let's see what this thing can do." Chris Dante
Mobile Suit Serial Number: GAT-X305 'Raven'
Unit Type: Prototype attack use transformable mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Phase Shift Armor
Armament: 2x "Igelstellung" 75mm anti-air vulcan gun, 2x beam saber (mounted on the hips), 1x dual 52mm hyper velocity shield cannon (usable in both modes)
Mobile Armor Mode Armament: 2x "Ahura Mazda" short-range energy cannon, 2x M2M3 76mm machinegun
Pilot: Christopher Dante
Appearance: Appearance wise, it resembles the Raider Full Spec, save it possess the Raider's dual shield cannon and the additional thrusters on the back of the legs.
Colors: Primary midnight blue with red trim. White thighs, biceps, and face.
Info: The Raven is the predecessor to the GAT-333 Raider Full Spec and the technologically superior GAT-X370 'Raider'. Originally, it was suppose to the second last G-Weapon to be completed in Heliopolis. But due to a accident early in it's construction, it was almost scrapped altogether, but ultimately it was completed the day before the attack on Heliopolis. As a result of this, Rau Le Creuset and the team he sent to Heliopolis, were completely unaware of it's construction and completion. Like the Raider and the Raider Full Spec, the Raven can transform into a bird-like Mobile Armor and can double as a atmospheric flight platform for other Mobile Suits.
Author's Notes: I happen to be a big fan of Biological CPUs and their machines, the Raider in particular. So ultimately, I chose the Raider as the basis of the Raven.
"I have to say, I think I'm in love." Saul Kessel
Mobile Suit Serial Number: GAT-X204 'Surge'
Unit Type: Prototype high-speed attack mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Phase Shift Armor
Armament: 2x "Igelstellung" 75mm anti-air vulcan gun, 1x "Hakenfaust" piercer lock (triple claw), 1x DES-G07D+ long anti-armor sword, DES-G07D+ short anti-armor sword, 1x 55mm high-energy beam rifle
Pilot: Saul Kessel
Appearance: The Surge resembles the Blitz, save it lacks the shield/weapon unit on the right arm of the Blitz and has additional thrusters mounted on it's back.
Color: Dark green with blue trim.
Info: The Surge is the fastest of all of G-Weapons that had been built at Heliopolis and is the sister unit to the Blitz. The Surge was designed for high-speed and melee combat and tactics. Although it is easily one of the fastest Mobile Suits ever designed, it tends to drain it's battery faster than the other G-Weapons, if it overuses it's high speed capabilities.
Author's Notes: This one was a little harder to come up with. I wanted it to be something different than the other captured G-Weapons. Since there was already an all-round type (Duel), a long range, anti-armor type (Buster), a stealth/special weapons type (Blitz) and a command type (Aegis). I figured that the fifth one should be a high speed type. So I took the Blitz and removed the shield unit and other weapons and replaced them with some of the weapons of GAT-SO2R N Dagger N. Originally, I had planned on giving it beam sabers instead of the solid weapons but I figured that creators of the machine would give it solid melee weapons over the beam sabers as the energy weapons would further drain the battery.
"For the Black Hawk!" battlecry of the 11th Fleet
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: A wide range weapons and armaments that varies between pilots
Pilot: members of the 11th Autonomous Mobile Fleet
Appearance: same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: varies between machines, but all of the mobile suits of the 11th have a crimson monoeye instead of the pink one that normal ZAFT mobile suits have.
Info: The mobile suit of the 11th Autonomous Mobile Fleet. A high-speed and highly customized machine, these GINNs are superior to their standard counterparts. Only the pilots and mechanics of the 11th Fleet, know what modifications have been installed in their machines. Some of these modifications are legal. Others not so much. Which is one of the reasons they are so secretive about their machines. It should be noted that two of the original prototypes survived from before the war. John Alaric's 'Farsight' and Lisa DeCosta's 'Lady Luck'. The Farsight was lost shortly after the death of Alaric. Leaving the Lady Luck as the only ZGMF-1017MX Prototype left in service.
"Never falter! Never waver! Always victorious!" personal motto of Diana Kessel
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-515X 'Panther Mk II'
Unit Type: Customized high mobility commander type mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 1x MA-MA4A heavy sword, 1x M7070 shield-plus 28mm vulcan system, 1x MMI-M7S 76mm heavy assault machingun, 1x 76mm sniper rifle (optional), additional weapons vary
Pilot: Diana Kessel
Appearance: same as a CGUE
Color: Dark purple with black strips on the forearms and shins. White trim and a white roaring panther head on the right shoulder.
Info: Diana's second 'Panther'. She received it after the death of Alaric and the original Panther, a GINN High Maneuver Type Custom, was shot down by the Earth Force's 'Hawk of Endymion', Mu La Flaga. She was the fifth mobile suit that Mu shot down at Endymion. Though she survived, she felt humiliated by being beaten by a single mobile armor and has vowed to defeat Mu La Flaga the next time they meet which has yet to happen. The members of the 11th Fleet consider La Flaga a doomed man for having the Bloody Panther after him. Overall, the Panther II, is an extremely well-rounded and flexible machine.
"Damn. Does that guy always have a stick up his ass?" Ajay to John Alaric after meeting Lucius Raveshaw for the first time.
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom 'Tyr'
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 1x modified MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machinegun with a mounted 175mm grenade launcher, 2x combat knives, 1x 76mm sniper rifle (optional), additional weapons vary
Pilot: Lucius Raveshaw
Appearance: same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: A rather plain dark green with gray trim. A black fist on the right shoulder. The right hand and forearm are painted black.
Info: True to Raveshaw's beliefs, the Tyr has the fewest of upgrades among the machines of the 11th Fleet. Raveshaw, for the most part, dislikes close-combat but is an extremely skilled rifleman. Particularly at medium to close range, often tearing apart enemies in a hail of expertly aimed bullets before they can strike. The machine was given it's name after an early battle of the BV War where he lost the right hand and forearm of his machine. Rather than retreating and risk ruining his perfectly laid out plan, he used one of his GINN's combat knives to destroy seven mobile armors and insured the success of his plan. Afterwards, John Alaric named his mobile suit after the one-handed Norse God and it's been called that ever since.
"He's wild, undisciplined, cocky, and the worst soldier I have ever met. That being said, he's easily one of our best. And if it wasn't for him, we probably wouldn't have survived Endymion." Lucius Raveshaw on Ajay Cortez
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom 'Hyena'
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 2x forearm mounted folding combat knife, 1x MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machinegun, 1x 76mm sniper rifle (optional), additional weapons vary
Pilot: Ajay Cortez
Appearance: same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: Light brown with crimson claw marks on the forearms, shins and left shoulder of the machine. White teeth are painted along the area under the machine's monoeye and a trio of white teeth on the right shoulder
Info: Favoring close-range tactics, Ajay replaced his mobile suit's sword with a pair of forearm mounted combat knives. He's prone to discarding his rifle in the middle of battle and tearing through enemy mobile armors with his knives.
"Power crushes all!" Basque Gideon
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom 'Bruticus'
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 2x shoulder mounted Gatling gun, 2x M68 'Pardus' shin mounted 3-barrel missile launcher, 1x M69 'Barrus' heavy particle cannon
Pilot: Basque Gideon
Appearance: same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: Dark gray with black trim. A crimson fireball on the right shoulder.
Info: Basque Gideon believes in raw strength and power ensures victory, and his mobile suit, Bruticus, reflects this belief. While others will use heavy weapons as secondary armaments for specific situations, Basque uses them as standard equipment. Though his machine isn't as fast as the GINNs of the 11th Fleet. He makes up for it in sheer firepower.
"Luck is always on my side." Lisa DeCosta
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom 'Lady Luck'
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 1x MA-M3 heavy sword, 1x MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machinegun
Pilot: Lisa DeCosta
Appearance: pretty much the same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: Dark green with crimson trim. A pair of red stylized L's on the right ahoulder.
Info: This machine, like it's pilot has had a bizarre history. When Lisa DeCosta was in the Academy, she proved herself to be an excellent pilot but seemed to be cursed with terrible luck. Though she always managed to complete and pass her tests and training missions, she frequently damaged or destroyed her mobile suits in the process. Though always surviving virtually unscratched. At the same time, Commander John Alaric was difficulties with the prototype of future GINN High Maneuver Type Custom, resulting in the loss of several pilots and machines. The worst being, GINN High Maneuver Type Custom Prototype X-04, which had seriously injured and killed several pilots while only suffering minor damage. Leading many to call it cursed. Alaric having heard of the good but unlucky Lisa, had her assigned under his command and immediately gave her the unlucky X-04. The two seemed made for each other as her first test flight with the X-04 went off flawlessly, shocking many of the members of the 11th Fleet. In fact, the terrible luck of the two seemed to reverse. Not only that, but her good fortune spread to her squadmates, leading to a number of them miraculously surviving normally fatal situations. As a result of this, both her and her machine, the X-04, earned the nickname 'Lady Luck'.
"Faster than lightning. Armor as weak as paper. It takes a special kind of crazy to pilot one of these machines. Luckily, we have three people crazy enough to pilot these things. Cause there's no way in Hell that anyone else would get those death traps." Ajax, on the GINN High Maneuver Type Custom Speartip Variant
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017MX GINN High Maneuver Type Custom Speartip Variant
Unit Type: Customized high mobility mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Special Equipment: Lightwave pulse thrusters
Armament: 1x MA-M3 heavy sword (all), 1x MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machinegun (Hilda), 1x 170mm anti-armor rocket-propelled grenade launcher (Mars), M68 'Cattus' 500mm recoilless rifle (Herbert)
Pilot: Hilda Harken, Mars Simeon, Herbert Von Reinhardt
Appearance: Same as the GINN High Maneuver Type
Color: Black torso, hands, feet and head, dark purple shoulders, arms and legs. A black star on the right shoulder of each machine.
Info: An offshoot of GINN High Maneuver Type Custom, designed to primarily be used for the infamous Speartip maneuver of the 11th Fleet. Only three were made and were given to the three best high-speed attackers in the 11th Fleet, Hilda Harken, Mars Simeon, and Herbert Von Reinhardt. Unlike the other GINNs of the 11th Fleet, they have larger batteries, increasing their range. But to accommodate the larger battery, their armor is thinner than other GINNs, making them extremely fragile, though faster and nimbler than other GINNs. In fact early in the war, a lucky shot on Hilda's GINN, resulted in severe damage to the machine and the loss of Hilda's right eye.
Author's Notes: Any Gundam Seed fan should recognize the pilots of these machines.
"All traitors deserve only one thing. Death." Zane Scirocco
Mobile Suit Serial Number: ZGMF-1017 Zane Scirocco Custom
Unit Type: Custom general purpose mobile suit
Powerplant: Ultracompact energy battery
Armament: 1x MA-M3 heavy sword, 1x shoulder mounted shield, 1x MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machinegun
Pilot: Zane Scirocco
Appearance: A standard GINN with a shield mounted on the left shoulder
Color: Entirely blood red
Info: The mobile suit of the young pilot Zane Scirocco, protege of Rau La Creuset. Very little is known about Zane. But what is known is that he's a vicious and ruthless fighter. Doing anything and everything to kill his enemy and win. His ruthless and the color of his machine earned him the nickname 'the Bloody Ripper' from the Earth Forces.
Author's Notes: Now this one took a surprising amount of time, despite the fact it's fairly simple. One thing that always bugged me about Seed was that they had one of the best Char clones yet he never once piloted a red mobile suit, unlike the other great Char clone, Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft. Originally, this one was suppose to be the mobile suit of Diana Kessel. But I felt that it wasn't right to give it to someone who hates Rau as much as she does. Then as I began to refine the story, I realized that I didn't have someone for Chris to fight at Jachin Due at the end of Seed. This led to the creation of Zane Scirocco. Then I had the surprisingly difficult time coming out with a suitable mobile suit for him to use initially. Then I remembered my scrapped idea for Diana's mobile suit and gave it to him.
