Technology & Combat Characteristics

The first Armor Pack of the Extreme Gundam R revealed, it is developed from the original Tachyon Armor Pack. Just like the original, it is a close-quarter-combat-oriented gigantic mobile suit armed with a giant sword as well as two more maneuverable sabers stored on its hips. For defense, it is equipped with two shields, one attached to each shoulder. Unlike the original Extreme Gundam, the yellow V-fins of the Extreme Gundam R don't separate from the white ones.

History

The Extreme Gundam Tachyon Rephaser first appeared in the GA data distortion of AG 101, destroying the numerous UE invading the colony Orvan. Though Leos initially believed ex- to have returned from the grave, the mysterious pilot revealed themselves to be "Sthesia" and immediately challenged him to battle. Though aware that the real Sthesia is back in Jupiter X, Leos hesitates to fight her seriously, believing there may be a connection that could harm her and avoids hitting the cockpit. Although angered by his mercy, she is forced to retreat for the time being.

The Tachyon Rephaser would reappear again in UC 95, this time as an ally, protecting Leos from the Carnage Rephaser. The two engage in a fierce battle but end up being pulled out of the dive before their battle could finish.
