Rafale Revive Custom II (ラファール・リヴァイヴ・カスタムII, Rafāru Rivaivu Kasutamu Tsū?) is a 2nd - 2.5th Generation IS piloted by Charlotte Dunois.
Characteristics[]
While the Rafale Revive Custom II lacks special equipment utilizing state-of-the-art technology found in most 3rd generation IS, it boasts a large arsenal comprised of a wide range of conventional weaponry. Notable changes from the production variant include the partial removal of armor plates and 2 pairs of multi-thruster wings, which are replaced with 2 modified multi-thrusters. The new multi-thrusters provide an overall increase in speed and maneuverability.
Standby Mode[]
It takes the form of a pendant around Charlotte's neck.
1st Shift/Armaments & Abilities[]
Rafale Revive Custom II possesses twice as many Expansion Slots as a normal variant and is equipped with around 20 different kinds of Equalizer. The weapons stored in Rafale Revive Custom II include:
- Vent - .55 cal Assault rifle with detachable magazines that hold up to 16 rounds each.
- Garm - .61 cal submachine gun (SMG) or personal defense weapon (PDW) capable of firing a non-explosive cluster round in addition to conventional ammunition.
- Rain of Saturday - .62 cal heavy shotgun.
- Bread Slicer - a knife-like Blade designed for CQC.
- Gray Scale (Shield Pierce) - a CQC pile bunker-type weapon, which is a pointed battering ram propelled by blank rounds stored in a revolver-type magazine for rapid firing. While being effective only at extremely close range, it is the most powerful weapon wielded by 2nd Gen. IS. Integrated into an arm-mounted physical shield, it can be armed after purging the shield plates that encase it.
- Garden Curtain - a defensive package that materializes a normal Revive-like figure, created from the physical and energy shields of the Rafale Revive Custom II to block any incoming attacks like a curtain.
History[]
It's unknown when Charlotte received the Rafale-Revive Custom II from her father. Presumably, she got it after she was recruited to spy on Ichika Orimura about Byakushiki.
During the Cannonball Fast, Charlotte further customized the machine by adding more boosters to increase its speed.
