Description
The ASW-G-64 Gundam Flauros is a mobile suit from the second season of the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS television series. It is piloted by Norba Shino.Design & DevelopmentFound in a Half Metal Mine by Tekkadan, the group failed to activate the suit and so it was sent to Saisei.[1]At Saisei, the mechanics found that the suit’s two Ahab Reactors are in a sleep state, and successfully activated and overhauled the suit.[1] During the overhaul, the mechanics change the suit’s nanolaminate armor color to match its pilot’s preference based on orders from Tekkadan, and as the suit’s cockpit was missing when found, a cockpit from Teiwaz’s MS series is fitted in its place.[1].[2] The Gundam Flauros was later dubbed by its pilot, Norba Shino, as the ‘Ryusei-Go IV’.[1][3]To maximize the power of the back-mounted long range shelling unit, which is where the strength of the Gundam Flauros lies, a transformation mechanism was incorporated into the suit’s frame, allowing it to change into a quadruped form known as ‘Shelling Mode’.[1] The Shelling Mode is primarily for ground combat, and the quadruped form improves the accuracy of the suit’s railguns, helps absorb the recoils, and supports immediate evasion.[1][2] The suit’s cockpit can rotate to suit the different modes, and as a result, the cockpit also has two different hatches.[2]One at the top of the chest for use in Shelling Mode, and another at the front of the chest for MS mode.
