Logically should be DHM, it popped up on Futaba today. I feel stupid for not noticing the Serpent Tail 2 markings now. Elijah always was listed as a pilot for it.

No idea what the deal is with that Mirage Frame, it's just Second Issue with the original's blades, so it would be really easy to fake.

I got the Mirage Frame from the May issue of Dengeki Hobby, Librarian Works Special Report 06.

Don't know if these have been submitted, but here goes.

This was posted in the September 2003 issue of Hobby Japan.

GAT-01IM-DNS Dark Night Strike Dagger?

The second picture could just be the Strike with the pack detached.

It was a unofficial strike Gundam variation that took elements of the Blitz Gundam and Justice Gundam. It was heavily based off Batman.

It has a Mirage Colloid system, and its backpack can detach similar to the Fatum-00 backpack/subflight system. This is what I gathered from google translated Japanese.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is what influenced Strike Noir

Next is is the High Maneuverability Strike G. It is a vastly improved Strike Gundam in terms of performance. It was published in Comics Bom Bom along with GAT-105RF Refined Strike & Diver Strike. If I remember correctly, it was part of a competition/contest for reader to design a Strike variation and then they would take the drawings and turn it into lineart. Unfortunately, I no longer have the higher quality pages I used to have, and I only managed to find the page with the High Maneuverability Strike G.

Big thanks to this guy: http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i241/takamachi/

It is because of his photobucket I found both images. I found the model number for the Dark Night Strike when I was searching for the the Refined Strike, because I remembered it from earlier (lost both scans after my comp crashed).

I'm sure the High Maneuverability Strike G has been brought up in the past, a few years back. They're not official designs, so I think we don't use them.

So, for something entirely different, and now in the right place, there's actually an obscure Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV manga 3-shot, apparently published in Gundam Ace (Kadokawa), from 2004. First chapter was done by Kouichi Tokita, second by Yoshihiko Machida, and the third by Kotoni Shiroishi

Earth Alliance
Mobile Weapons
GAT-01 Strike Dagger
GAT-01A1 Dagger

Orb Union
Mobile Weapons
MBF-P01-Re<AMATU> Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu

The Attack Submarine can evidently carry (although they're wonderfully vague about how) something like 8 mobile suits, and the Amatsu is the early version. As you may be able to guess from the list, it covers Edward and Rondo on Earth, Rena Imelia and Jane Houston in a landing assault (with another brief Ed cameo), and Shiho at Jachin Due.

Understood. If this however changes, I have acquired better scans.

Would you know if the Dark Night Strike was ever brought up?

Just some scans of the Red Frame Kai:

Found some lineart for the Destiny Out Frame D. Now we can replace that photo of the model kit.

I really hate doing cutout lineart from black background...

But here is Perfect Strike Gundam from the HD remaster.

This is really just a minor correction more than anything else, but the cockpit lineart that's linked in the Calamity, Forbidden, and Raider is wrong.
The lineart that's linked is that of the original five GAT-X series mobile suits, but the series itself clearly shows the cockpits of the Calamity, Raider, and Forbidden is distinctly different from that of the first five. In fact, it's the same as the Strike Dagger's.
See here for screens/comparison.

Time to get rid of few custom linearts.

Less pixelate Mirage Frame 2nd Issue Brute mode (VS Astray)
Better quality Delta Astray
Destiny Impulse Unit 2 (DESTINY MSV)

Time to get rid a couple of custom lineart.

Blaze ZAKU Warrior
Heine's Blaze ZAKU Phatom
Miguel's GINN Bigger and less pixelated.

One question. Where is info of Elijah's GINN has TP come from? Nowhere else (well, bar Gundam Wiki) mention it. Also the important key elements (the head-fin "buster sword", or the rifined version was built using parts from Veia's GINN) are missing.

Thanks for making use of the scans. Only Elijah's Zaku has TP Armor, and only in the parts he's more likely to be hit. His Ginn is upgraded with parts from Veia's one and thus gets a slight performance boost(Veia's Ginn was built with the best parts available).

Yeah, the Gundam Wiki is, as usual, full of crap. Elijah's GINN doesn't use Phase Shift at all, but looks unusual because of the melange of parts from his old blue GINN and from Gud Vair's red GINN. His ZAKU's PS Armor was specifically set up by Kaite Madigan to correspond to the red parts on his GINN, because he observed that Elijah's fighting style was being hampered by his going out of his way to avoid damaging the parts from Vair's GINN.

Random update, but we have a model number for the Dominion now: LCAM-01XB. It comes from the mook that was published for Gundam SEED (Mecha and World one).
