RX-123 Gundam TR-S [RABSCUTTLE]

The Gundam TR-S Hazel Hrair stands as the definitive culmination of the Titans’ ambitious TR Project, representing the peak of Gundam-type mobile suit development. This article examines the RX-123 Gundam TR-S Rabscuttle configuration – Earth’s vigilant gatekeeper against extraterrestrial threats. This remarkable form is achieved by equipping the TR-S Hazel Hrair with specialized binders engineered for both stratospheric maneuverability and atmospheric re-entry operations.

The Rabscuttle represents the culmination of stratospheric mobility binder technology, first pioneered and tested on the TR-4 Dandelion and later perfected for the RX-124 Gundam TR-S Hazel Hrair. Operating from its Strategic Space Division (SSD) orbital base, this formidable machine was engineered specifically to intercept and neutralize hostile forces attempting atmospheric penetration. Its mobile armor configuration shares distinctive characteristics with the former Principality of Zeon’s mobile armor series, particularly the MA-05 Bigro line, excelling in hit-and-run tactics through its superior maneuverability and devastating claw arms.

The machine’s exceptional mobility allows it to traverse the stratosphere with unprecedented agility, enabling rapid deployment to any point on Earth within moments. Its protective binder system doubles as a lifting body, and like the Wave Rider, can execute atmospheric re-entry maneuvers as tactical situations demand. The binder’s internal structure houses an expansive cargo space, accommodating escort mobile suits and various armaments. After reaching its operational zone in mobile armor configuration, it can transform into its mobile fortress mode, maintaining position through Minovsky Craft technology to establish a defensive stronghold. Due to the intense G-forces experienced during maneuvers, operation by Cyber-Newtype is strongly recommended.

[Internal Frame]
Like the RX-107 Rosette which is the base unit of the TR-4 Dandelion, the nose section contains the core RX-123 Gundam TR-S Hazel Hrair, with the binder system enveloping the frame as reinforcement armor.

[Generator]
Equipped with a TR-type generator, it seamlessly switches between jet propulsion for atmospheric operation and rocket propulsion for extraterrestrial navigation. Through the intake apertures, one can glimpse the Dandelion II’s binder and generator hatch components.

[Claw Arms]
The imposing claw arms feature four finger-like appendages, with beam cannons integrated into their central cores. These beams can be concentrated to function as beam sabers. The internal frame architecture shares commonality with the RX-124 Gundam TR-6 Dandelion II’s arm units, enhanced with additional exterior plating.

[Heat Field Generator]
This sophisticated cooling system expels air to regulate the machine’s temperature. Working in concert with the heat-treated binder, it shields the frame from atmospheric entry friction.

[Atmospheric Entry Unit] (Binder)
Within the atmosphere, its design maximizes lift generation and aerodynamic efficiency. During stratospheric operations, it utilizes atmospheric reaction for trajectory adjustment, executing 180-degree inversions for reverse flight maneuvers.

[Twin High Mega Particle Cannon]
The central frame houses a diffusion beam cannon identical to the MRX-009 Psycho Gundam’s model. In mobile armor configuration, the lateral binders serve as particle focusing and acceleration plates, delivering extraordinarily concentrated beam discharge.

[Weapon Cargo]
The underside binder compartments function as weapons storage, accommodating mission-specific armaments. They house the escort unit El-Ahrairah, its modular weapon containers, and anti-spacecraft missile systems crucial for interception operations. The rear section contains the spherical Minovsky Craft device dubbed the “Daedalus Unit.” The machine transports this integrated arsenal to the operational zone before deploying equipment post-transformation. During transit, the El-Ahrairah’s I-Field provides defensive coverage.

[TR Project]
The Gundam TR-S Hazel Hrair represents the technological pinnacle of advancements established through TR-1 to TR-5. The Rabscuttle’s foundation builds upon the experimental high-speed MA configuration tested in the TR-4 Dandelion – incorporating mobility binders, large-scale claw arms, and weapon cargo systems.

[Three-View Drawing/Comparison with Dandelion II]
The Dandelion II’s design evolved from the Rabscuttle concept following the “Model Integration Project,” resulting in numerous shared components across both units.
