Overview
GN-002 Gundam Dynames is a third-generation mobile suit operated by the private military organization Celestial Being in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Piloted primarily by Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy), the unit is specialized for long-range shooting and precision sniping. Acting as the primary fire-support unit of the team, Dynames provides critical tactical cover and artillery strikes from safe distances during armed interventions.
Appearance
Gundam Dynames features a distinct green and white color scheme, equipped with a head V-fin antenna and green main camera eyes. For high-precision targeting, its head transforms into gun-camera mode as the antenna lowers to expose a hidden dedicated camera eye. The unit can also wrap itself in a large, cloak-like GN Full Shield that covers the main body.
Abilities
Powered by a GN Drive, Gundam Dynames benefits from virtually limitless energy and extraordinary mobility. Its arsenal focuses heavily on long to mid-range engagements, centered around the GN Sniper Rifle along with GN Pistols and GN Missiles, while carrying minimal melee equipment. During sniper operations, a specialized rifle controller deploys inside the cockpit for manual aiming. To allow the pilot to concentrate fully on shooting, an orange Haro stationed in the cockpit takes over defensive maneuvers and controls the GN Full Shield.
Background
Gundam Dynames was developed as part of Celestial Being's third-generation mobile suit series to support its global campaign of armed interventions. Assigned to Gundam Meister Lockon Stratos, the machine was deployed across numerous combat zones worldwide. Operating from out of enemy range, it consistently provided essential marksmanship support to its fellow Gundam Meisters, playing a key role in the organization's tactical operations.
Relationships
Gundam Dynames shares a close bond with its pilot, Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy), functioning as a dedicated platform tailored to maximize his sharp marksmanship skills. Inside the cockpit, an orange Haro acts as an indispensable co-pilot assistant, handling navigation and shield defense. On the battlefield, Dynames works alongside Celestial Being's other mobile suits, including Gundam Exia, Gundam Kyrios, and Gundam Virtue, acting as their primary long-range support unit.
Trivia
The name Dynames derives from the Greek word for power, referring to the order of Powers within Christian angelic hierarchy, which is reflected in its official Chinese name meaning Power Angel Gundam. The suit's design strongly emphasizes military optics, featured notably through its transforming gun-camera head mechanism and dedicated cockpit targeting controls.
