{"title":"GN-009 Seraphim Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eGN-009 Seraphim Gundam is the second-season successor to the GN-004 Nadleeh in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam 00\u003c\/em\u003e (2008, Anno Domini 2312), again flown by Tieria Erde. Its usual position is not on the ground at all: it forms the backpack of the GN-008 Seravee Gundam. The name comes from the seraphim, an angelic order it shares with the suit it rides on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it rides on Seravee's back, the Seraphim can enter a fight without launching. It detaches and shifts from backpack to mobile suit mid-battle, which is how it takes on the Garazzo in the thirty-ninth episode alongside the unmanned Seravee. In the final battle its Trial Field is what freezes the Innovators' suits across the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackpack form is a real transformation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe legs fold down into two large thrusters, the arms swing up and become a pair of GN Cannons, and the head retracts into the chest. When the two suits split, only the pilot seat travels from Seravee's chest across to the Seraphim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe GN Drive goes with it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nSeravee's reactor is mounted in the Seraphim's back, so once the two separate the larger suit runs on its own condensers and has a limited window of operation. Docking again lets the drive recharge them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts Trial Field reaches much further.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe improved system covers the space around the colony-class mothership Celestial Being, wide enough to shut down a whole enemy formation. It only works for a pilot linked to Veda, and Tieria could not use it until his link was restored during the final battle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoth hands carry two thumbs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThey were shaped to hold a beam saber in either form, so each hand has a thumb on both sides and only one is active at a time, the spare folding flat against the palm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead height: 16.6 m according to Bandai's official spec, with a base weight of 27.4 t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 11.5 cm, which covers the HG00 kit and the Trans-Am Mode set with Seravee\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.
