The EB-06rs Graze Ritter Commander Type is a mobile suit introduced in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS anime.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A commander-use version of the EB-06r Graze Ritter, it is first used by Carta Issue, the commander of Gjallarhorn's Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet. The main differences between the Graze Ritter Commander Type and the standard Graze Ritter includes larger head crest, slightly different chest armor, longer shoulder side armor with higher output round thrusters, and red highlights on the head and shoulder armor instead of white.[1] These changes in its look made it more representative of Gjallarhorn's peacekeeping philosophy than the standard machine.[2]
Although the suit is only seen in its ground configuration in the anime, it can also be configured for space use.[2] The space configuration uses the same thigh armor and back-mounted booster units as the standard Graze, while the ground configuration has different thigh armor equipped with hover units on the sides that are also used by the Graze Ground Type.[2] Like the standard Graze Ritter, the Graze Ritter Commander Type uses a Knight Blade as its main close combat weaponry, but can also be equipped with the Battle Axe when required.[2]
A blue variant of the suit with yellow highlights is later used by McGillis Fareed when he became the commander of the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet.[3] Besides the change in color scheme, the suit's appearance remain unchanged. However, its characteristics have been comprehensively reviewed. Particularly, its ground-based combat data was recalculated, and as a result, its mobility under Earth's gravity was maximized.[3] Additionally, McGillis's unit dual-wields the Knight Blades in combat, similar to how he piloted his previous machine.[4]
Armaments[]
- GR-W01 120mm Rifle
- The same shooting armanent as used by the standard Graze. High accuracy, high utility value as the main ranged or support weapon.
- Short Rifle
- The 120mm Rifle can be configured into a short rifle by replacing the sensor equipped standard barrel with a short barrel. The short rifle has lower range and accuracy, but it is ideal for close combat-use in conjunction with the Battle Axe.
- GR-Hr01 Knight Blade
- A sword developed specifically for the Graze Ritter, it is the suit's primary close combat weapon and stored on the side of the waist when not in use. As the suit itself is also used for ceremonies, the Knight Blade adopts a more stylish look to meet this need.[2] While Carta Issue's unit and other Graze Ritter uses a single Knight Blade, McGillis Fareed's unit dual-wields a pair of them.[4]
- GR-H01 9.8m Battle Axe
- The Graze Ritter can also be equipped with the Battle Axe used by the standard Graze when necessary.[2] It is stored on the side of the waist when not in use.
- Halberd
- Wielded by the machine piloted by Lond Bron (a Gjallarhorn officer who served the Issue family)[5], it is the same weapon as used by the EB-06Q Graze Schild. The Halberd resembles the standard Graze's 9.8m Battle Axe with a spear-like tip and a longer handle.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Head Sphere Sensor
- A spherical sensor is mounted inside the head, it is revealed during optical long-distance viewing and precise measurement.
- Glider (For Mobile Suit)
- Shaped like a large shield, it is used to protect the Graze Ritter Commander Type from the intense heat when entering Earth's atmosphere from space.[6][7] Due to its toughness, it also protects the suit from ground-based attacks while landing.[6][8]
- Booster Unit
- When operating in space, the Graze Ritter Commander Type uses the same back-mounted booster unit as the normal Graze for high-speed movements.
