Description

From the OVA  Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn comes Full Psycho-Frame Prototype Mobile Suit RX-0 [N] UNICORN GUNDAM 02 BANSHEE NORN (Destroy Mode)!

This 1/144th scale High Grade Universal Century kit-set contains:

• Parts to build Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn
• Armed Armor DE (Defense-Extension) Shield
• Armed Armor XC (Xeno-Connect) Backpack
• Beam magnum
• Revolving Launcher

The Banshee Norn is an upgraded version of the Banshee with improved performance, assigned to Londo Bell pilot Riddhe Marcenas. The unit itself remains unchanged from the upgrades, with only the Armed Armors BS and VN replaced by two new equipment, the Armed Armor DE and Armed Armor XC. The Banshee Norn’s primary ranged weapon is the Beam Magnum but with a new attachment, the Revolving Launcher. In Destroy Mode, the Armed Armor XC opens and rotates up, giving the Banshee Norn a lion-like look.

The Armed Armor DE (Defense-Extension) is the normal I-Field-equipped shield used by the Banshee with additional parts containing more psycoframe, six thrusters (four on top and two at the bottom) and a mega cannon. The mega cannon provides the Banshee Norn with another ranged weaponry, while the thrusters grant the suit speed comparable to a Base Jabber when the Armed Armor DE is mounted on the Armed Armor XC. It can also be used as a makeshift melee weapon with significant reach.

The Armed Armor XC (Xeno-Connect) is an add-on backpack unit that enhances generator output while using the head antenna to detect Psycommu waves from incoming enemy suits, greatly enhancing the pilot’s affinity with the machine and allowing a non-Newtype pilot to activate the NT-D system. The development of this equipment was deeply connected to that of the Psycommu assist system called n_i_t_r_o. The Banshee Norn’s backpack beam sabers are stored in the Armed Armor XC.
