Bandai SKU: 2070725

High Grade 1/144 Gundam

The GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II (aka Gundam Exia Repair II, Exia Repair II, Exia R2) is the repaired and upgraded version of the GN-001RE Gundam Exia Repair. Appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 season 2, it is piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei.

For the final battle against the Innovators, the reborn Celestial Being deployed all usable mobile suits they have, including the Exia Repair II (aka Exia R2) that served as a spare machine for Setsuna F. Seiei. Built from the wreckage of the Exia Repair by a team of mechanics led by Ian Vashti, the Exia R2 incorporated the latest technology and is more powerful than its predecessors.

The light purple-colored GN Cables on the exterior of the original Exia and Exia Repair are now mostly stowed in the Exia R2's armor. These cables facilitate the supply of GN Particles, and thus energy, to each part of the Gundam instantaneously, and are also used for attitude control due to the particles' mass reduction effect. The internalization of these cables resolves the defensive concerns regarding their previously exposed placements, improving the Exia R2's defensive capability. The Exia R2 also has enhanced mobility as additional thrusters are installed on various parts of its body.

Due to the proliferation of GN Drive Taus, it is now much more difficult to overwhelm enemy machines compared to before. To counter this, the Exia R2 has been reworked into a "one-hit-kill" machine. It is armed with a GN Sword Kai, two GN Beam Sabers a pair of GN Vulcans, and a GN Shield. Overall attack power is enhanced thanks to the GN Sword Kai, a powered up version of the original Exia's GN Sword. However, this focus on singular attack power resulted in decreased comprehensive battle strength as the total number of swords is reduced from the original Exia's seven to the current three.

Like the original Exia, the Exia R2 has an "Over Boost Mode" that temporarily boosts its capabilities. The Exia R2's primary tactic is to combine a single GN Sword Kai attack with the "Over Boost Mode" to defeat the enemy quickly, and this was successfully employed against the GN-000 0 Gundam. A damaged Exia R2 was recovered after the battle, but its GN Drive was damaged beyond repair by 0 Gundam's attack. It was then repaired into the GN-001REIII Gundam Exia Repair III, powered by a particle storage tank.
