- The massive blade splits and folds itself into wing-like structures that acts akin to the Blue Frame's Flight Pack, albeit one substantially more powerful. The vulcan can be used to fire at pursuers in this form.

Miscellaneous Notes of The Professor regarding the new upgrades
On the Gold Frame: No, I will not release the schematics for Phase Shift Armor. Not only is it taxing on any energy system, its manufacturing process is also very expensive and elaborate! I had to work for almost a month just forging the entire suit for the Gold Frame, and I'm the Illustrious, Wonderful, and Super Genius Tabane-sama!
Oh and that curious teleporting feature it has?
Weeeell, that's a secret~! (⁎˃ᆺ˂ )
On the Blue Frame: The Tactical Arms is all Davion Guele's idea! Such a darling little inventor he is~! That's why he's my favorite between the three, he and I are cut from the same cloth! Speaking of... A little birdie told me that he called the Astrays, or rather, mechs that resemble the Astrays (such as his ingenious Strike Uchigane) as Mobile Suits.
I like it!
So, henceforth, any Astray-like frame I make shall be called Mobile Suits!
Cool right? ( ´∀` )b
On the Red Frame: Again, the Tactical Arms 2 is a product of Davion's efforts. Otherwise, I would have changed the Arrow feature into something more modern, like a massive cannon! But a bow is cool too! Now Ryo-kun's suit is all the more samurai-y! ( ๑òᆺó๑ )
I mean, did you see him slice and dice those test machines back then?! It was something straight out of an Akira Kurosawa film! ( ´゚д゚)

AN:
A mandatory codex update on the specs of the suits.
There's plenty of features of the Astrays there that are absent, and with good reason.
The boys didn't display them or even touched their systems once in the exhibition matches, thus they didn't show up in any of the recordings or the data feed.
Remember, the boys were sandbagging throughout their fights, they're trying to keep Tabane in the dark as best they can. And if the world also has no idea what the true capabilities of the suits are, like the Mirage Colloid of the Gold Frame, the Voiture Lumiere of the Red Frame, or the trump card of the Blue Frame?
Better off for everyone, honestly.
At least, for now.
Again, Tabane just yeeted darts on a corkboard that had random numbers on it and said "Yup, this'll be its speed!" when formulating the data packet for the upgraded Astrays.
Sorry if this wasn't a proper chapter!
With that, this is a still tired Cipher, signing out!
