GN-009R-2P Seraph High Mobility Type

The GN-009R-2P Seraph High Mobility Type is a limited production high mobility mobile suit.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
It is based on the GN-009P Seraph All Region, which was intended to be able to use high-powered beam weaponry, but failed to reach a practical level. However, the suit exhibited high capabilities even without beam weaponry, and was later redesigned into the high mobility R-2P which uses some of the AEU Enact's weapons. The R-2P’s exterior is almost identical to the past machines, but it has been greatly altered in various areas, such as a new generator with higher output, a different chest piece, higher propellant capacity, and the use of E-Carbon armor material in some sections. Thus, the R-2P has higher performance and is lighter than the H and the R-1A Types.

The unit was reputed as a “Gundam Imposter” for its high capabilities and it's head unit. In fact, it used parts meant for the GNT-1111 Exia Quanta in its construction. A result of this is that its legs’ internal structure has been redesigned. The unit’s legs are also better armored compared to previous Seraph High Mobility Types, offering better protection against enemies attacks. These added armor also make the silhouette of the unit’s legs more similar to that of the Seraph All Region’s. It should however be noted that the shape of the leg armor can vary slightly from machine to machine. Like the other units of the series, the R-2P has GN Drive Tau's in the calfs and thighs to increase the operating time of the propulsion systems.

Armaments

 * Twin Beam Sword
 * Also known as a beam naginata, is the unit's weapon in close-range melee combat. The unit's twin beam sword is unique in that it has a longer than average handle, about the length of two beam saber hilts, and has an emitter at both ends, allowing a single weapon to create two beam blades. This allows the pilot the advantage of incorporating different techniques into their fighting style than they would normally be capable of. When not in use it is stored in a waist-mounted recharge rack.


 * Linear Rifle
 * An upgraded version that fires electromagnetically-accelerated live rounds and the projectile force is on par with most beam weaponry. It has a firing interval of 35 seconds per standard shot while also having an alternate rapid fire mode.


 * Shield
 * The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit.
