RG 1/144 MBF-P01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame - REISSUE INFO

The MBF-P01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame may be a Mobile Suit from the manga series Gundam SEED Astray, and photonovel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray B. it's piloted by Rondo Gina Sahaku.

One of five identical prototype combat mobile suits developed by Orb using stolen data from the world Alliance's G Project, it's the sole one to feature both EA and Orb hand plugs. Thus, it can use handheld weapons developed by both factions. because the color gold is reserved to be used by Orb's upper class , it's intended for Astray Gold Frame's pilot to be someone from Orb's five noble families. just like the other prototype Astray units, it's armed with two head mounted "Igelstellung" 75 mm multi-barrel CIWS guns, two back-mounted Type 70 beam sabers for close combat, one physical shield for defense and a kind 71 beam rifle for ranged combat. The suit is formed out of a lighter foaming metal compound and has minimal armor over the frame, making it lighter and faster than their G Project counterparts. it's also equipped with a backpack which will be lowered to the rear skirt armor, allowing the mounting of additional equipment on the rear .

Mounted within the Gold Frame's head are two "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. Although classified as Anti Air, these light projectile weapon also can be wont to intercept missiles and to destroy lightly armoured vehicles.

Gold Frame is provided with two back-mounted beam sabers for close combat.

The type 71 beam rifle is that the standard ranged beam weapon of the Orb military. The beam rifle fires an energy beam that's highly effective against most targets, like mobile suits, but is a smaller amount effective against targets designed to require beam attacks, like laminated armor or shields treated with an anti-beam coating.

Shield

Gold Frame can use a physical shield for defense, it's mounted on the left forearm and/or handheld. this is often an equivalent sort of shield as employed by Strike and Duel Gundam.

A projectile weapon that uses electromagnetic forces to launch the projectile. Originally developed for the Duel Gundam, it had been taken by Rondo Gina Sahaku when he left Heliopolis with the Gold Frame.

The Gold Frame is provided with dual hand plugs which permit the suit to use both Orb Union and Earth Alliance MS weapons. for instance , at one instance, the Gold Frame used a rail bazooka which was originally meant for one among the G Project suits (more specifically the Duel Gundam).

A connector for attaching additional equipment to the rear of the suit. it's similar in function to the hardpoint on the rear of the Strike Gundam. The connector is exposed when the rear pack is lowered to the back skirt armor.

While collaborating with the world Alliance on their G Project, Morgenroete built five Gundam Astray prototype mobile suits at Heliopolis, the MBF-P01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame, MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame, MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame, MBF-P04 Gundam Astray Green Frame and MBF-P05 Gundam Astray Unit 5 (which was later modified into MBF-P05LM Gundam Astray Mirage Frame), which were supported the five G Project Gundams that they assisted the world Alliance's Atlantic Federation in creating. They successfully copied the EA's beam rifle and saber technology, but Morgenroete didn't have access to the Phase Shift armor design, and compensated by making the Gundam Astray units lighter and more agile than their EA counterparts.

On January 25, CE 71, ZAFT's attack on Heliopolis to steal the Alliance Gundams also unknowingly interrupted the Astray project. so as to cover their progress, Orb's officials decided to destroy the Astray lab. Coordinator Rondo Gina Sahaku, an Orb nobleman, disagreed and attempted to save lots of the three suits, Gold Frame, Red Frame and Blue Frame, that were assembled. Gina originally wanted all the Astray data to be uploaded on Gold Frame, but the info was an excessive amount of , forcing him to order the splitting of the info across the three suits. He then commandeered the Gold Frame and used a rail bazooka left behind by the stolen GAT-X102 Duel Gundam to blow a hole in Heliopolis in order that Gold Frame could escape. Unfortunately, Gold Frame's right arm short-circuited soon after using the bazooka; there was no time to check Gold Frame at that point . to stop the matter from affecting the entire MS, he discarded the damaged arm (but kept the bazooka), and escaped the dying colony. Afterwards, he piloted the Gold Frame (still missing an arm) during a battle with Red Frame and its pilot Lowe Guele, which resulted within the destruction of Gold Frame's head by an energy sphere produced from Red Frames arm. Gold Frame was then taken to Orb's main island, where Morgenroete upgraded it to the MBF-P01-ReAMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu.
