{"title":"GAT-X102 Duel Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eGAT-X102 Duel Gundam is the first machine built under the Earth Alliance's G Project in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED\u003c\/em\u003e (2002, C.E. 71). Morgenröte assembled it at Heliopolis, and the four Gundams that follow it, the Buster, Strike, Blitz and Aegis, were developed from its data. ZAFT takes it on 25 January C.E. 71 and Yzak Joule flies it for the rest of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Duel is stolen in the raid that leaves the Strike behind, and Yzak flies it against the Archangel through the pursuit in space and the descent to Earth. A hit from the Aile Strike's combat knife leaves him with the scar he carries afterwards. ZAFT fits the Assault Shroud while the suit is repaired, and it goes through the Battle of Orbit, North Africa and Jachin Due wearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is the airframe the other four were measured against.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Duel was specified as a general-purpose machine with balanced performance rather than a speciality, which is why it could act as the G Project's development base. Armour, rifle and saber are all middle of the range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase Shift armour trades endurance for immunity.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nActive Phase Shift makes the suit immune to bullets, blades and missiles, and switches its colour from light grey to blue and white. The armour draws from the battery the whole time it is on, and more with every hit, so combat time is finite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shield is the anti-beam answer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nPhase Shift does nothing against beam weapons, so the shield carries an anti-beam coating instead. It is less durable than the suit's armour and does not drain power when struck, which is why the two work alongside each other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssault Shroud is add-on armour, not a second suit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nZAFT built it after the Duel was damaged, following the GINN Assault Type: a Shiva 115mm railgun on the right shoulder, a 220mm five-barrel missile pod on the left, and extra verniers. It helps in space, hampers movement under gravity, and can be ejected after a heavy hit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height: 17.50 m according to Bandai's official spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 12.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/100: roughly 17.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from P-Rex Hobby\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-Rex Hobby is a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vendors\"\u003eBandai Recommended Hobby Store\u003c\/a\u003e with 20,000+ customers served and \u003cspan data-prex-live=\"five-star-reviews\"\u003e1,800+\u003c\/span\u003e five-star reviews.
