Combat Abilities
Edit
The Raider is a transformable attack use mobile suit, designed mainly for aerial combat. Its armaments are made of a well-balanced set of beam weapons and shell-firing weapons, with some of them being only usable in flight mode. Lastly it also can optionally use a hammer-like handheld weapon.
ArmamentsEdit
- "Ahura Mazda" short-range energy cannons
- Mounted in the claws these cannons have a short firing distance but are only usable in MA mode
- Dual 52mm hyper velocity shield cannon
- Mounted on the left forearm, the Raider can only use the dual 52mm hyper velocity shield cannon in MS mode.A single, well aimed shot can destroy the laser rifle of the Duel Gundam.
- M2M3 76mm machine guns
- Two machine guns installed in the shoulders, they can be used in MA mode.
- M417 80mm machine gun
- A nose mounted machine gun used in MA mode.
- Hammer
- For close combat, the Raider is equipped with the unique "Mjolnir" spherical breaker, an exceptionally dense handheld mace which is able to damage even Phase Shift armor. The "Mjolnir" can also be spun rapidly on its long cable to form a makeshift shield. The hammer can however be cut in half by a beam saber.
- "Zorn" 100mm energy cannon
- An energy cannon mounted in the mouth region.
System FeaturesEdit
- Like the other two new Gundam-type mobile suits, the Raider is among the first units to use the new variation of Phase Shift armor known as "Trans-Phase". Unlike normal Phase Shift, which draws power constantly, Trans-Phase armor activates only when the mobile suit is hit, and only at the point of impact, reducing the armor's power consumption and increasing combat endurance.

- Subflight capabilities
- In MA mode the Raider is capable of serving as a subflight unit for other mobile suits, such as the GAT-X131 Calamity.
HistoryEdit
In mid CE 71, the EA collaborates with Muruta Azrael's Azrael Conglomerate to build three second-generation mobile suits to counter the G-units stolen by ZAFT. One of these new suits is the Raider, a suit specifically designed for aerial combat, an ability which is enhanced thanks to its ability to transform into a fighter-like mode. The Raider was designed after the GAT-333 Raider Full Spec, but was built first. In addition, these three suits' pilots are designated as "Biological CPUs" (noting that the Alliance considers them equipment rather than human beings), with their abilities enhanced by drugs to match those of Coordinators.
The Raider, whose "Biological CPU" is Clotho Buer, is first used in the conquest of neutral Orb in CE 71, then sent to space and assigned to the Archangel-class assault ship Dominion under the supervision of Muruta Azrael. The Raider eventually takes part in several important battles at the end of the Bloody Valentine War, eventually surviving until the Second Battle of Jachin Due. There it meets its fate when the Raider is destroyed by Dearka Elsman in the GAT-X103 Buster (Gundam SEED Special Edition) or by Yzak Joule in the GAT-X102 Duel (Gundam SEED) using the Buster's rifle.

TriviaEdit
- Raider's head crest displays the text "OTTO X-370" (which means "Eight" in Italian), and it is a reference to the Raider being the eighth mobile suit developed as a second generation MS by the Earth Alliance.
- When the Freedom was hit with Raider's Zorn energy cannon, the beam was not able to penetrate the suits' armour. This may either be an oversight by the production team, or a demonstration that the power of Raider's Zorn is not enough to pierce Phase Shift Armour powered by a Nuclear Reactor.
