Knightmare Profile
After the undeniable success of the Holy
Britannia Empire's Knightmare Frames, many nations began
attempting to catch up with the superpower by developing their own Knightmares. The communist Chinese Federation's
primary Knightmare is the TQ-19 Gun-Ru, a design both similar to and yet highly different from
Britannian models.
Larger than its
Britannian counterparts, the Gun-Ru's body is dome-shaped, with smaller legs and manipulators
that fold into the body, giving it an almost frog-like appearance. The Gun-Ru's armament consists of a pair of
machine guns and a pair of cannons, mounted on the shoulders of the main unit. Though much weaker than
Britannian
Knightmares, the Gun-Ru is cheaper to produce, allowing the Chinese to rely upon the strength of numbers when
using them. The Chinese Federation deploys many Gun-Rus during its attempt to take over Kyushu, the southernmost
island of
Japan. Initially, even
Suzaku Kururugi and his Z-01
Lancelot are overwhelmed by the sheer number of
Gun-Ru sent after him, but the surprise intervention of Black Knight leader
Zero in the IFX-V301 Gawain turns
the tables on the Chinese.
