The Astray Green Frame is a Mobile Suit in the manga series Gundam SEED Frame Astrays.

Combat and Technological Abilities

Except its color scheme, the Gundam Astray Green Frame originally featured the same weaponry as the other three Orb Union prototype mobile suits, the two head mounted "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS and two beam sabers. Besides these weapons the Green Frame is also equipped with a Twin sword rifle, a weapon that can function as both a beam rifle and an axe-like double-edged beam sword.

The Green Frame also uses a different model of sensor units that makes its eyes yellow instead of green like the other Gundam Astrays. The Green Frame also has an advanced AI to assist its pilot, which is an improved version of the A.I. system featured on the MBF-02 Strike Rouge. The A.I. system on the Green Frame was advanced enough to predict Gai Murakumo's movements in the MBF-P03third Gundam Astray Blue Frame Third when he was on the offensive, allowing Trojan Noiret to evade all of Gai's attacks. Despite this, when Trojan switched to the offensive, Gai swiftly defeated him, leading Gai to remark on the fact that the Green Frame was meant to be a defensive mobile suit, based on who helped build the mobile suit, Lowe Guele.

Armaments

History

In CE 71, the Orb Union's Morgenroete corporation built five Gundam Astray prototype mobile suits at Heliopolis, the MBF-P01 Astray Gold Frame, MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame, MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame, MBF-P04 Astray Green Frame and MBF-P05, which were based on the five G Project Gundams that they assisted the Earth Alliance's Atlantic Federation in creating. They successfully copied the EA's beam rifle and saber technology, but Morgenroete did not have access to the Phase Shift armor design, and compensated by making the Gundam Astray units lighter and more agile than their EA counterparts.

On January 25, CE 71, ZAFT's attack on Heliopolis to steal the Alliance Gundams also unknowingly interrupted the Astray project. In order hide their progress, Orb's officials decided to destroy the Astray lab. Somehow God Hand Barry Ho later acquired the parts of the unassembled Green Frame and assembled it with help from Lowe Guele. He later gives the Green Frame to Trojan Noiret a member of a guerilla force for use against the Republic of East Asia. Trojan used his suit against Gai Murakumo of the Serpent Tail mercenary group but was defeated by him.
