Technology & Combat Characteristics
The MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is the repaired, upgraded version of the MBF-P01-ReAMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu. Initially, the suit's appearance did not differ much from its predecessor, except for the two new weapons: a pair of physical "Totsuka no Tsurugi" sabers stored on the side skirt armors, and a retractable "Tsumuha no Tachi" claw mounted on its left forearm. However, an incident during its operation test led to the suit having additional armor on its legs and new feet.
Internally, changes were made to suit its pilot, and this resulted in approximately 30% improvement in specifications. The Amatsu Mina is capable of atmospheric flight, as evidenced when it defended a town from ZAFT forces (a girl who witnessed the incident described the MS as a "black angel"). However, it is unknown if this is a new ability or inherited from its predecessor, Gold Frame Amatsu, as only the incomplete version of Amatsu was ever used on Earth.
In C.E. 73, Yoon Sefan developed the "Okitsu no Kagami" equipment to bolster the Amatsu Mina's defensive capability. When equipped, the "Okitsu no Kagami" replaces the claw on the left forearm. The beam shield generated by this new system can also form a beam blade and can be used to attack enemy units in various ways.
History
After the death of Rondo Gina Sahaku, his twin sister Rondo Mina Sahaku recovered his damaged MBF-P01-ReAMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu and repaired and upgraded it with the "Tsumuha no Tachi" claw as well as the "Totsuka no Tsurugi" sabers. During an operation test, the suit's legs were destroyed by the ZGMF-X11A Regenerate Gundam, leading to the installation of additional leg armor and new feet, culminating in the current look of the MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina.
In October C.E. 73, during the "Break The World" Incident, Mina and her suit met up with the Junk Guild at GENESIS Alpha, with the intention to help them prevent the drop of Junius Seven's wreckage. When the station was attacked by the ZGMF-X12A Testament Gundam, the suit was borrowed by professional MS pilot, Kaite Madigan to assist his friend, Jess Rabble in battle. The Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and Testament briefly fought, until the Testament was driven away by the arrival of the Re.H.O.M.E..
In December C.E. 73, when Cagalli Yula Athha was kidnapped by the Three Ships Alliance, Mina used her suit to obstruct the Martian Ergnes Brahe before he could intercept the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. Sometime later, the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina was further upgraded with an offensive beam shield system designed by Yoon Sefan into the Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina ("Okitsu no Kagami" Equipment Type).
