Frame Gears/Types of Frame Gears

Frame Gears are divided based on their specialty, such as land combat type, assault type, high mobility type, etc.

Old Design Frame Gears

 * The Chevalier (シュバリエ) or FG-09 was the first Frame Gear to be mass-produced . It is a grey colored Frame Gear based on the old design of the FG . It is equipped with a sword as its default equipment . Yae Kokonoe was the test-pilot for this Frame Gear . This Frame Gear excels in defense and is easier than Knight Baron to manufacture.


 * The Knight Baron (ナイトバロン), a commander type Frame Gear, was the next Frame Gear to be made. It is a black colored Frame Gear based on the old design of the FG, which is equipped with a mace and shield and is slightly larger than a Chevalier. It has large thorns on each of its shoulders and a single blade antenna (which Touya Mochizuki attached) on its forehead. According to High Rosetta, Knight Baron is 1.5 times stronger than the Chevalier. It has no flight capability, but possesses thrusters on its back and legs for deceleration. Touya was the Knight Baron’s test-pilot and the first to use it in battle. This Frame Gear excels in offense but is harder to manufacture compared to the Chevalier.


 * The Shining Count (シャインカウント) is actually a Knight Baron with white painted armor. The Frame Gear is used by Lain Netherland, the commander of Brunhild's Knight Order. It also works as the flag bearer


 * Blue Moon (ブルームーン) is actually a Knight Baron with blue painted armor. This Frame Gear is used by Norue Siberia.
 * Red Links (レッドリンクス) is actually a Knight Baron with red painted armor. This Frame Gear is used by Est Floatia.
 * Dragoon (ドラグーン), is a slim shape design red Frame Gear. It has big wheels on the tip of both its heels, as well as thrusters on its back and both sides of the waist. It is the most agile Frame Gear, sacrificing defense and power and also difficult to control. Because of its lack of power, it can not equip any heavy weapon which is why it is equipped with two small swords (小太刀) made of phrasium (crystal material) . This Frame Gear was given to Ende by Touya . When Touya modified Ende’s Dragoon, he painted it black and white, in order to easily tell it apart from Elze Silhoueska's Gerhilde. Another Dragoon (albeit an old model Frame Gear) was also used by Lucia Rea Regulus before receiving her personal Frame Gear unit.

Valkyrie Gears (Bride-Exclusive Frame Gears)

 * Brunnhilde (ブリュンヒルデ) is a Frame Gear dedicated to Yumina Ernea Belfast. Its main color is silver and it is a sniper specialized type unit. Brunnhilde is equipped with special silver armor which grants it stealthiness. Its primary weapons consist of a long-distance sniper rifle as well as four Fragarach units installed on its back.


 * Gerhilde (ゲルヒルデ) is a Frame Gear dedicated to Elze Silhoueska. Its main color is red and it is a hand-to-hand combat assault type unit . Gerhilde is the first exclusive FG build by High Rosetta and Fred Monica. This Frame Gear excels power and speed and has sturdy limbs to support this . Gerhilde is equipped with pile bunkers made of phrasium on both hands .

 * Helmwige (ヘルムヴィーゲ) is a Frame Gear dedicated to Linze Silhoueska. Its main color is blue and it is a convertible aerial-combat type unit . It has a large shield that becomes the bottom part of the aircraft once it transforms. Because the shield is a necessary part of the transformation, it has much more phrasium than other equipment, as well as more magic inserted into it, making it considerably more solid and durable. It is also equipped with a unknown numbers of guns that can be fired in its aerial form. allowing it to provide support for other Frame Gears (it is unknown if these can be used in its normal form.) It also has the ability to combine with Elze's unit, Gerhilde to act as a aerial support unit. It is later equipped with a crystal sword and special crystal bullets designed to separate when fired.

The part of its body that looks like a dorsal fin can transform into a massive greatsword and can be used when opposing the advanced class Phrase. The shield can also transform into a spiral cone. Furthermore, the shield also can transform into a spiral lance when the mace is attached to it. The lance's tip allows it to smash its enemies into pieces.


 * Grimgerde (グリムゲルデ) is a Frame Gear dedicated to Leen. Its main color is black and it is a blitzkrieg type unit . It is equipped with a large Gatling gun, capable of firing hundreds of bullets in matter of seconds, on its right arm, while the left arm is capable of firing bullets from its fingertips.

It is also equipped with head mounted Vulcan cannons and missile pods located in both its shoulders and its legs. The unit cannot consecutively fire its armaments as it is required to enter a "cooling mode" after firing a full power volley for several minutes. Another disadvantage is that the unit draws a considerable amount of magic from the user, causing intense fatigue if used for extended periods.


 * Rossweisse (ロスヴァイセ) is a Frame Gear dedicated to Sakura. Its main color is pink and it is a mass-fight support type unit . It possesses two large trumpet-like horns that rest on its shoulders, which amplify Sakura's voice or any other soundwaves.

It is the culmination of all the data and constant upgrades implemented and acquired from all the previous FG created for the purpose to create one able to resist Touya's magic. Unlike other FG, Reginleif channels Touya's magic directly through its body, and, to protect the integrity of the frame from magical power pressure, it will forcibly shut down the system after exceeding the predetermined magical power limit ,and will only be operational only after finishing its cooling time which takes few minutes. It is the only Frame Gear with the capability to fly.

Additional Equipment

 * Fragarach is a range offensive system which is first implemented on Knight Baron . Its technology is based on the defensive system of the Rampart, the Satellite Orb . The Fragarach is a sword made of phrasium and because of the nature of the system, only pilot with magic aptitude and high magical power is able to use it . Due to the limitation of the old frames, each Knight Baron is only equipped with 4 Fragarach, which are installed on its back in an X shape . Each Fragarach is able to move separately in supersonic speed and automatically comeback to surround the Frame Gear.


 * Gungnir (グングニル): A high speed flying boat that is piloted by Francesca and forms the upper armor of Sue's Ortlinde Overlord FG.


 * Laevateinn (レーヴァテイン): An high speed armored bullet train that is piloted by High Rosetta and forms the arms of Sue's Ortlinde Overlord FG.


 * Mjollnir (ミョルニル): An all-purpose underground tank that is piloted by Fred Monica and forms the lower legs of Sue's Ortlinde Overlord FG.

The barrel of the gun is three times larger then a regular Frame Gear, and has special pre-programmed magic that causes the bullet to rotate once it is fired.

Trivia

 * The Ortlinde Overlord is based on GaoGaiGar. Both feature a golden unit with a beast head on its chest as the core (Ortlinde itself and GaiGar), and combine with similar vehicles: A flying vehicle (Gungnir and StealthGao), train (Laevateinn and LinerGao), and tank (Mjollnir and DrillGao). Both also possess rotating fists, one of which can be launched at the opponent (Cannon Knuckle / Cannon Knuckle Spiral and Broken Magnum), while the other can create a shield of light (Stardust Shell and Protect Shade) Sue mentioned that she wants a Frame Gear that worked like a robot from a anime, and proved that it was GaoGaiGar when he she asked for a golden hammer, A reference to the robot’s final weapon, the Goldion Hammer.
 * On the other hand, Waltraute is very similar to the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Like Waltraute, the Strike Gundam is an extremely versatile unit, since it has specialized auxiliary units known as Striker Packs, which perform similar functions to those of Waltraute's packs. They both have an Close-range attack-based unit in the form of a sword stored on their respective unit's back (Attacker and Sword Striker), one focused on speed and maneuverability which attaches to the unit's back, (Booster and Aile Striker), and a long-range attack-based unit featuring a shoulder cannon (Caster and Launcher Striker).
