Technology & Combat Characteristics
The EB-AX2 Graze Ein is a prototype mobile suit created by Gjallarhorn based on their research of the Alaya-Vijnana system. The premise of its design was the unification of the pilot with the machine via the Alaya-Vijnana system, and for that, it is necessary that the pilot is able to recognize the mobile suit's body as his own. The high sensitivity Alaya-Vijnana system also assists the pilot to completely recognize the mobile suit as his own body, and facilitates the control of the Graze Ein using thoughts alone. The Graze Ein is armed with retractable shoulder machine guns, pile bunkers, custom large axes, and its hand and feet can also serve as weapons: the feet can fold into drills and launch drill kick attacks, while the fist can rotate at a high speed for screw punch attacks.
Due to the grave injuries suffered by Ein Dalton, he is conjoined into the mobile suit's cockpit through cables on his back, head and chest. The cockpit has no monitors as all information are projected onto Ein's retina, and he is kept alive thanks to a life support system and a nutrient fluid that filled the entire cockpit.
History
Despite excessive mechanization, such as the Alaya-Vijnana System, being seen as one of the major causes of the gruesome ravages of the Calamity War, Gjallarhorn secretly continued research into the technology, since they could not abandon its high performance. The EB-AX2 Graze Ein was born as a result of that research, but it remains a research-use unit because none of Gjallarhorn's regular mobile suit pilots were willing to have the implants required to use the Alaya-Vijnana System.
