On January 25, CE 71, five prototype suits were secretly rolled out at the space colony Heliopolis.
#Gundam cockpit series#
To counter ZAFT's advanced mobile suits during the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Earth Alliance's Atlantic Federation secretly collaborated with Morgenroete to develop their own series of mobile suits under the G Project. However, Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance, and uses up additional energy when it is hit.

The Phase Shift armor renders the Strike immune to physical attacks such as bullets, sword slashes, missiles, etc.

When this armor is activated, the Strike's color changed from a light grey to a white scheme with a bit of blue and red mixed in. Each striker pack is designed to outfit the Strike with the equipment needed to fulfill specific combat roles with maximum efficiency.Īs with all of the G Project mobile suits, the Strike is equipped with Phase Shift armor. The key feature of the Strike is its ability to equip additional equipment in the form of striker packs.

Įquipment used in a mock battle with the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam in. Ī weapon picked up from a wrecked AMF-101 DINN and used to destroy the UMF-4A GOOhN. The same shield is also used by GAT-X102 Duel Gundam and other mobile suits.Ī large sword developed by the ZAFT, but used by the Strike to take down enemy mobile suits. The shield's major advantage is that it is anti-beam coated and can block or deflect beam weapon attacks, against which phase shift armor is ineffective. The shield does not have phase shift armor, so it is not as durable as the Strike's armor, but it also does not drain energy each time it is hit. In the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Re:, the Bazooka had an alternate Shrapnel munition.Ī piece of equipment designed to increase the Strike's defensive capability, it is mounted on the left forearm and/or handheld. The disadvantage of the weapon is that its greater size and weight makes it somewhat less mobile than the beam rifle. Another advantage is that the bazooka can be used underwater, unlike a beam rifle. As it is a conventional weapon, it does not draw power from the Strike's battery and this results in extended combat endurance. It has an additional handle that can shift to the side and is often used for extra stability when the Strike is firing its rifle rapidly.Īn optional ranged weapon, the bazooka fires explosive shells and is loaded with four magazines. The Strike's primary ranged weapon, it can be stored on the side skirt armor, and can easily destroy a ZGMF-1017 GINN with one shot, but is mostly ineffective against suits with anti-beam coating. These knives do not need power from the suit, can be thrown, and their blades vibrate at high speed allowing them to pierce through most armor except PS armor.

Stored in the Strike's side skirt armor are a pair of folding "Armor Schneider" combat knives. These light projectile weapons are used to intercept missiles, to destroy lightly armored vehicles, etc.
