GN-001REIII Gundam Exia Repair III

GN-001REIII Gundam Exia Repair III is the third rebuild of the GN-001 Exia, introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record and flown by Setsuna F. Seiei. Celestial Being built it on the Exia Repair II, and the machine is stationed on Earth rather than in space.

What it does in the story

Its recorded mission is a raid on an Earth Sphere Federation research institute that is reviving the Super Soldier programme by forcing people with Innovator factors awake. Setsuna volunteers and the suit is prepared for him in advance: a single GN Long Rifle shot from a sniping position carries a telepathic message inside the beam, with the beam's GN Particles acting as the medium for the quantum brainwaves. The shot passes the buildings on purpose, and the escape it triggers is the point — after which the suit has to hold twelve GN-XIIIs in close combat long enough for that escape to finish.

What makes it different

• It runs on a condenser rather than a GN Drive. Celestial Being could no longer spend GN Drives on missions that did not require them, so the Repair III uses a large GN Condenser as its power source. Condensers were also built into the enlarged shoulder and knee armour to keep the supply up.
• The thrusters are why it is not slow. Units around the body were replaced with the current model, so the suit accelerates efficiently on fewer particles. That is the point of a machine that has to make a stored supply last.
• It stayed on Earth because the elevators were watched. Federation monitoring and control of the orbital elevators made moving Gundams between Earth and space impractical, so the 00 stayed in space and the Repair III on the ground.
• The rifle folds for close work. The GN Long Rifle is mounted on the left forearm as a long-range weapon and folds in half when the fight closes. The GN Sword Kai uses the same blade material as the 00 Raiser's GN Sword III.

How big is it?

• Head height: 18.3 m according to Bandai's official spec
• Weight: 58.7 t empty
• 1/144: roughly 12.7 cm
