Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RX-121-2A Gundam TR-1 [Advanced Hazel] is the remodeled [[RX-121-2 Gundam TR-1 ［Hazel II］|RX-121-2 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel II]]], with leg enhancement parts and a multi weapon latch installed to match the specifications of the [[RX-121-1 Gundam TR-1 ［Hazel Custom］|RX-121-1 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Custom]]]. The original V-Fin antenna folds to the sides, making way for a high-performance optical sensor unit—a visor-type composite sensor—that covers the front of the head. This sensor suite includes the same optical and sight sensors used in the GM Sniper III’s head unit. Additionally, a high-precision mono-eye sensor is built into the lower section. When the protective cover slides downward, the system switches to sniper mode, optimized for long-range sniping missions. Supplemental thruster units to the soles of its feet for attitude control. In addition to functioning as maneuvering equipment, they also serve as reverse thrusters for deceleration when landing on ships or on the ground.
The movable booster pod on its enhancement backpack has also been replaced with a new type, tested on the RMS-117 Galbaldy β, which can be fitted with two shield boosters to increase its performance still further. The enhanced shield booster has ten diffuse beam guns installed on its surface, which increase the mobile suit's defensive capabilities by shooting down missiles and other projectile weapons. However, the shield booster's propellant capacity is reduced accordingly, giving it lower performance as a booster. All the test results of previous option parts were used in the creation of the Advanced Hazel.
Testing of the new booster pod with two shield boosters was originally meant to be conducted with the RMS-117 Galbaldy β High Mobility Type. However, this Galbaldy β was lost when Lt Maxim Gunar defected to the AEUG. The tests were thus performed with the Hazel II, and their results are reflected in the Advanced Hazel. The new booster pod lacks the generator and thruster equipment of the previous version, and consists of little more than latches for the shield boosters and an optional propellant tank, acting as a multi-connector pod. The latches on the Multi-Connector Pod have been reinforced to withstand the high thrust generated by attached Shield Boosters. Additionally, two rear-mounted latches are available for connecting general-purpose propellant tanks. Meanwhile, the sub arm unit was also adopted due to the good results of its testing with the Hazel Custom.
History
The Advanced Hazel was deployed during the final days of the Gryps Conflict, piloted by both Eliard Hunter and Audrey April in pursuit of Carl Matsubara.
