| abstract | - GN-006 Cherudim Gundam (GN-006ケルディムガンダム) is a rebuilt upgrade of the first Lockon's wrecked Mobile Suit, Dynames. Like its predecessor, Cherudim is built to be a sniper based Mobile Suit and is armed with various firearms. The pilot can manually enter a sniping mode and control a rifle emulator for the MS's actions. However, Cherudim's defensive capabilities have been improved over the original. Pistols were added to help the pilot overcome close ranged encounters; it can endure the damage from most beam sabers from other MS. Mechanized miniature armor units, or Shield Bits, have also been installed to the MS to protect it and other units. Shield Bits are controlled by a Haro within Cherudim's cockpit to bear the brunt of various long distance weaponry. Aside from defending, Shield Bits can assemble to act as mobile firing bots with its Assault Mode. Dynames's rifle has been granted to Cherudim, but it has been modified with a laser aid to improve its accuracy and a one use cannon mode to improve its offensive power. When the MS enters its Trans-am state, it is capable of reaching absolute precision and increased strength with its activated flowscreen. The nature of using Trans-am unleashes an excess of the Suit's energy, granting the Gundam a significant power boost but limiting the number of its shots. A gamble to use within its ultimate mode, the pilot has to make each shot count since the MS may become completely defenseless during its recharge periods.
