The ZGMF-X12D Astray Out Frame D is a repaired version of the ZGMF-X12 Gundam Astray Out Frame introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

After the battle with ZGMF-X12A Testament Gundam, the damaged ZGMF-X12 Gundam Astray Out Frame is repaired by Lowe Guele into the Out Frame D. Out Frame D closely resembles the Testament Gundam as Lowe decides to return the MS to its original combat-based design in order to fulfil the wish of its pilot, Jess Rabble. Like the Out Frame, the Out Frame D is powered by battery and uses foaming metal armor. It also retains the pair of "Beam Signs" and the ability to use Earth Alliance's Striker Packs. Out Frame D can also use the other equipment used by Out Frame, including the "Camera Gun", "Back Joint", "Back Home", "G-Flight", "Multi-Pack", beam rifle, etc.

A new feature of Out Frame D is that a secondary cockpit in the head can be created by removing sensors that were originally there, these sensors can be reinstalled if required. The secondary cockpit is manned by Jess during the rematch with Testament and by Bernadette Leroux during the battle with ZGMF-YX21R+X11A Proto-Saviour+11. In Destiny Astray R, Lowe creates a custom version of the Caletvwlch, the Caletvwlch (Gun Camera version) for Jess to use with the Out Frame D.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Signs
Mounted in the side skirt armor, the pair of beam signs are designed for signaling purposes such as displaying signs, words or even video. Unlike beam sabers, the beam signs can be configured to any color, or multiple colors at once. By increasing their output, the beam signs can function temporary as make-shift beam sabers, beam shields, whips or even a beam nunchaku weapon. In beam shield mode, the beam signs are capable of blocking even a positron blaster cannon. However as they are not really designed to be used as a weapon, prolonged usage as one will damage and render them useless.
  • Beam Rifle
The same rifle as the one used by Out Frame, it is the suit's only long-ranged weaponry and is meant for self defense. It can link up with the MS's high performance sensor for accurate shooting. It also has a special launch system which is usually occupied by a single grenade.
  • "Armor Schneider" Combat Knife
Stored in the Back Joint, one per heavy manipulator arm. These knives do not need power from the suit, can be thrown, and are capable of piercing the joints and under-armored sections of ZAFT mobile suits.
  • Custom Shield
Usually stored on the back of the Back Home. It is hand carried when in use and has a spike at the bottom.
  • Caletvwlch (Gun Camera version)
A special version of the Junk Guild's multipurpose tool, Caletvwlch. It is customized by Lowe for Jess's use and as such can function as a Gun Camera. The 'Build Knife' mounted at the top of the Caletvwlch's gun barrel has been removed and a new sensor is added to the top port. Its zoom speed is far superior to Jess's normal Gun Camera, and also has the ability to remain continuously in focus once it locks onto the target. Presumably, the other functions and capabilities of the Caletvwlch remain intact.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Gun Camera
A high-resolution camera in the form of a gun. Used to take images while on the battlefield.
  • Hardpoints for Striker Packs
  • Back Joint
Mounted on the back, it is actually a pair of heavy manipulator arms and is equipped with two "Armor Schneider" Combat Knives, spotlights and booster pods. These arms are very versatile at handling several items all at once and can be used during combat to restrain the enemy.
  • Back Home
A large storage backpack which serves as Jess's living quarters and is equipped with the shooting coat, a pair of triple smoke grenade launchers and can carry a custom shield on its back.
  • Shooting Coat
A specialized coat that allows the Out Frame to blend into the background while taking pictures. It consists of multiple colored cloths and the one that matches the surrounding terrain's color is deployed when the system is in use.
  • Triple Smoke Grenade Launcher
A pair of triple smoke grenade launchers are mounted on top of the Back Home, they are used for escaping in the battlefield.
  • G-Flight
A Striker Pack that provides Out Frame D with long range and high speed flight capability on earth or in space, helping Jess greatly in his job. G-Flight is composed of 4 main components, a large back pack component, 2 leg components and a large shield, which serves as the base in the flight form and can also be used for defensive purposes.
  • Multi-Pack
A special adapter for Out Frame D's Striker Pack hardpoint. The dimension of the equipment's connection points can be freely altered, thus allowing the MS to use different types of add on packs (including ZAKU series Wizard Packs and the ZGMF-X56S Impulse's Silhouette Packs) but they have to be controlled by 8 for the system to work.

History[]

In October of C.E. 73, freelance journalist Jess Rabble's mobile suit, the Gundam Astray Out Frame, sustained severe damage in combat against its sister unit, the RGX-00 Testament Gundam.[1] After the battle, Lowe Guele, who originally built and gave the Out Frame to Jess, upgraded the machine into the two-seat ZGMF-X12D Out Frame D ("D" standing for "dual"). The Out Frame D included a secondary cockpit for a co-pilot/observer in the head, and resembled Testament more closely than the original configuration did (the only externally visible differences were the head, chest armor, and beam sign mounts).[2] In its first battle, Kaite piloted the Out Frame D (equipped with the Sword Striker) with Jess as his co-pilot to defeat Testament.[3] Afterward, Kaite took Testament as his personal unit and Jess resumed piloting Out Frame alone. When Earth Alliance forces attacked the Junk Guild's GENESIS Alpha base, Jess launched in the Out Frame D with the G-Flight attached, but sustained damage during the battle. Later, when defending the escaping Junk fleet, Jess replaced the G-flight, first by a Doppelhorn Striker and then by an Aile Striker, which Kaite forcibly removed from a GAT-02L2 Dagger L and GAT-04 Windam, respectively.[4]

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Out Frame D's head crest displays the text "X-12 DODICI", which means "Twelve" in Italian and is a reference to its model number.
