GNSS-TD/NR-4 True Guardian

History
The True Guardian is the redesigned variant of the Perfect Guardian. When Ransac was removed from cold sleep, it was immediately apparent that the mobile suit was severely outmatched. When the Perfect Guardian was finally defeated by the Guardian X, Star Strike was forced to recreate the mobile suit.

Externally, the True Guardian draws most of it's appearance off of the original Guardian Gundam. This is mostly due to the lack of the Full Saber and Shield. Most of the primary changes are internal. The GN-Particle Distribution System has been greatly improved. As a result the GN-Field Skin has also recieved a boost in strength.

The GN-Drives from the Perfect Guardian were left relatively unharmed and thus were salvaged from the remains. The drives would be fully upgraded and reinstalled into the True Guardian. The output of the drives has been signifigantly increased, especially the Twin Drive. The output is now twice that of the Perfect Guardian's. As a result, the True Guardian can display vastly improved capabilities.

The most important feature of the True Guardian is the Nanite Reactor. The Nanite Reactor constantly produces millions of nanites. The nanites are designed to interface with GN-Particles and help maintain the mobile suit. The presence of the nanites grants increased durability, refined GN-Particle usage, and quick "regeneration" of armor. In addition to maintaining the mobile suit, the nanites are capable of slowly reconstructing the True Guardian at the atomic level. This feature allows the Gundam to constantly recieve new upgrades and advances. The nanites and the Nanite Reactor are all governed by a special Veda Terminal installed in the True Guardian. The designes for the Nanite Reactor were stolen from the Guardian X.

The second most important feature is the True Guardian's Truth Mode. In this mode, the armor and frame of the Gundam expands outward. Also, the output of the GN-Drives increases signfigantly. In the places where the armor has extended, special GN-Particle vents release massive amounts of GN-Particles. When this occurs, the armor sections began to glow a bright green. This mode is considered the successor to the Trans Am System, as the Truth Mode vastly improves the capabilities of the mobile suit without risking reduced performance. When active, the Nanite Reactor also super charges the nanites within the mobile suit. During this time, the True Guardian is capable of phasing through nearly any surface. Using the phase ability tends to require a great amount of GN-Particles and thus reduces the operational time of the Truth Mode. In normal operation, the True Guardian can use the system for about 5 minutes.
