AGE-2

Gundam AGE-2 \

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A next generation Gundam that is built based on the combat data of the Gundam AGE-1 and also incoporates the data of Asemu's battles in Tordia^[1][2][3]. It is the second Gundam built using the AGE System, and is designed as a high-speed combat unit, able to transform into a Strider mode (also referred to as "G-Strider"), a fighter-like form which flies at three times the speed of its MS mode^[3]. In this form, AGE-2 is capable of atmospheric entry^[4]. The unit also has a wear system, similar to the AGE-1, which allows the operator to change the unit's configuration by swapping out an alternate set of limbs. The repulsive force propulsion technology found in the AGE-1S Gundam AGE-1 Spallow is applied to the shoulder-mounted moveable wings ^[5].

Aside from its speed, the AGE-2 Normal possess a Hyper DODS Rifle, a shield and beam sabers for close combat. The AGE-System installed in the mobile suit allows it to gather combat data to "evolve" the Gundam when needed. The Gundam AGE-2 Normal was later recolored white in honor ofWoolf Enneacle. In AG 151, the AGE-2 Normal suffered heavy damage in combat and had its AGE System Core recovered by the Earth Federation, while Bisidian recovered the rest of its remains and refurbished it into the AGE-2DH Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound.

Armaments

• Hyper DODS Rifle
• 

The basic long ranged armament of the AGE-2 Normal, developed from the DODS Rifle. It is strong enough to penetrate two mobile suits with one shot^[2][3] and also forms the nose of the AGE-2's Strider Mode. It is twice as powerful as older DODS models.^[3]

• Beam Sabers

A sword like weapon that is used for close combat during battle. Like Gundam AGE-1's, Gundam AGE-2's beam sabers are strong enough to pierce and destroy the Vagan's mass-production mobile suits such as Gafran,Baqto and Dorado with a single stab. It can also emits a beam dagger from the bottom end.

• Beam Vulcans

Basic weapons which are only usable in Strider Mode. Beam Vulcans are used to intercept enemy units or missiles while in Strider Mode.

• Shield

A basic shield used as a defense armament for the AGE-2 Normal, providing minor protection.

• Marker Shot

A pistol-like weapon with non-lethal ammo used for target practice.

AGE-2DB Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet

Armaments

• Twin DODS Cannons
• 

The Twin DODS Cannons^[3] is the primary ranged weapon of Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet. They are mounted on the red shoulder binders and can rotate in any direction, allowing the suit to shoot down enemy units without moving its arms. When required, they can be dismounted and be wielded like normal DODS Rifles.^[2][4]

• Beam Saber

A pair of beam sabers located on the rear skirt that can be used for close combat during battle.

• Large Beam Sabers
• 

Two large beam sabers are mounted in the red binders where the Twin DODS Cannons are stored. The red binders are capable of emitting the large beam sabers only after the DODS cannons are removed. The large sabers allow the pilot to quickly counter enemy's melee attack when there is no time to draw out its main beam sabers.

• Calf Missiles

Four calf missile launchers are mounted at the back of the legs, the missiles fired are used for bombardment or to distract the enemies.
