MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame "Powered Red" is a Mobile Suit in the manga Gundam SEED Astray R and in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R photonovel.

After the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame with Power Loader was defeated by ZAFT's ZGMF-X11A Regenerate Gundam, Lowe received a set of new powerful arms from Jean Carry, allowing the Red Frame to become the Powered Red. These new arms incorporated power cylinders, an enhanced drive system developed by Jean, and to support the arms, the Red Frame's shoulders and back frame parts are also strengthened.

As a result of the changes, the Red Frame's beam sabers are removed, but the mobile suit can now wield the "150 Gerbera Straight" without the Power Loader. When used at full power, various parts of the arms open up for improved heat dissipation efficiency. The powerful arms also allow the execution of the "Red Flame" punch, an attack that can damage the internal components of enemy mobile suit, including those with Phase Shift armor.

Eventually, Jean successfully miniaturized the power cylinders, integrating them into the Red Frame's normal arms, enhancing the power of its katana slashes. Although the optional arms are now obsolete, they are still stored aboard the ReHOME and Lowe later upgraded them to be 3 times stronger for the "Festival of Red" event in South America. During the event, Powered Red is also equipped with two Caletvwlchs instead of the "Gerbera Straight" katana.
