GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei (aka Gundam Throne Zwei, Zwei), is one of three Gundam Thrones piloted by the Trinity siblings in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The suit was initially piloted by Michael Trinity but was later stolen by Ali Al-Saachez and used to help defeat Celestial Being during the events of Gundam 00 Season 1.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Edit
Like the other Thrones, Zwei is based on a common chassis. Minor changes are made to both the structure and avionics systems to Zwei so as to fulfill its function in Team Trinity's battle doctrine: medium to melee range combat. The primary weapon is the massive GN Buster Sword. Even without GN Particles increasing the weapon's cutting ability, sheer mass, combined with Michael Trinity's berserker-style piloting made for punishing attacks. Because the designers anticipated that Zwei would often be outnumbered and surrounded, they elected to incorporate a remote weapon system, the GN Fangs. Michael would typically deploy the Fangs in one of two ways, either to overwhelm a single opponent, or to offset a numerical disadvantage by engaging multiple threats. In either case, Michael would take advantage of the confusion and close in for the kill with the Buster Sword. That is of course assuming that the target survived the Fangs. A claim only a few GN-X or Gundam pilots can make.
After murdering its pilot, Ali Al-Saachez would go on to use Zwei in a slightly different style. Ali would typically employ all eight Fangs, whilst Micheal would typically use six, keeping two in reserve, to weaken a particular target. Once the enemy was softened up, he would use his superior close combat skills to finish the opponent personally.
Armaments
Edit
- GN Handgun
- The GN Handgun is attached to the left forearm of Zwei. Under Johann, Zwei rarely uses its GN Handgun as it often deploys its Fangs more often for ranged combat.
- GN Beam Saber
- Stored on Zwei's shoulders. As the size of the beam saber used by the Thrones are larger than Exia's, its power increases as well.[2]
- GN Fangs
- Housed in two GN Fang Pods on Zwei's waist, GN Fangs are a collection of 8 guided weapons that can be used to shoot or pierce its enemies. When deployed, the Fangs would unfold their wings for flight and attack its target(s). Depending on the pilots discretion, the Fangs will proceed to either shoot down or stab through enemy mobile units. Due to their limited GN particle capacity, they need to return to Zwei in order recharge.
- GN Buster Sword
- The GN Buster Sword is a GN particle energized vibrational blade, similar to Gundam Exia's GN Sword. The sword is attached to the Zwei's right shoulder. The main strength of the GN Buster Sword is impact from the heavy force the sword wields due to its huge size. It is also used as a shield because of its enormous size. It possesses the ability to generate a beam saber at its tip.

Secret Armed Interventions
Edit
Zwei was secretly constructed without Celestial Being's operators' knowledge. Zwei first appeared in Episode 16 along with other two Thrones to save the Gundam Meisters of Exia, Kyrios, Virtue, and Dynames after they deliberately entered a military exercise ground, knowing it was staged to entrap them.
Defeated & Taken
Edit
Throne Zwei was effective in combat against mobile suits that use conventional technology. However, Throne Zwei was not as effective against mobile suits using GN technology. Zwei's GN Fangs were destroyed when facing off HRL's GN-X squadron. Due to the overwhelming number of GN-X's, Zwei spent the latter days in tactical retreat. While the Trinity siblings are at standby after another hot pursuit from the UN force, Ali Al-Saachez located the Throne pilots. He shot Michael and bypassed Zwei's biometric sensors because Veda is hacked with Ribbons's help. Ali piloted the Zwei and destroyed Throne Eins along with Johann Trinity. The Throne Drei is saved from Ali/Zwei because of Exia/Setsuna's timely intervention.
Zwei Vs Exia
Edit
Ali's outstanding piloting skills allowed him to nearly defeat Gundam Exia. With minimal GN particles left, Ali/Zwei almost completely disarmed Setsuna/Exia and when Ali/Zwei was about to finish off Exia with a black-slash,

Edit
Throne Zwei was taken to UN Forces by Ali. Throne Zewi made its first appearance in space assisting the GN-X team, and damaged the Virtue and Kyrios. Using its high mobility, and GN Fangs, Ali damaged the Gundam Virtue enough to destory its additional GN Bazooka. Distracted by the damage Virtue was taking, Allelujah didn't notice the GN-X team from behind him, causing the Kyrios to also take damage. After damaging both gundams, Throne Zwei returned back to the ship for backup. On its return trip, Ali intercepted Lockon in his GN- Arms D Dynames Suit, and destroyed the additional GN- Arms Unit. Lockon then stops his assault on the enemy ships to focus on fighting Ali. After a short exchange of fire, Lockon managed to damage the Zwei by cutting off its right arm with his beam saber. Before he could continue his battle, a GN-X piloted by Daryl Dodge attacked Lockon. Initially, Lockon used his remaining missiles to cripple the GN-X, but with its remaining body part alone, Daryl commited a kamikaze attack on Lockon's blind right side. Not only did this destroy the Dynames' right arm, but also let Ali realize that Lockon was blind on his right side. With the remaining GN Fangs, Ali attacked Lockon focusing on the right side, severely damaging the Dynames. After sending back the Gundam Dynames with Haro to the damaged Ptolemaios, Lockon Stratos fired a particle beam using the GN Cannon salvaged from the GN Arm at Ali/Zwei and the Zwei was severely damaged.

Notes
Edit
- The first part, Throne, is a name for a class of powerful angels who were close to God and dispensed justice according to God's will. The second part, Zwei, is the German word for the number two. It may also reference the large swords used by Germanic soldiers, Zweihander.
- While Zwei is in-universe a close combat variant of the basic Gundam Throne mobile suit series, in real life it was the first Gundam Throne designed and Throne Eins and Drei were created later off Zwei's initial design (IE they are Zwei's variants). As such, it is the "original" Gundam Throne among the three in real life design.
