Rein Weiss Ritter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rein Weiss Ritter is a fictional giant robot from the Japanese video game series Super Robot Wars, designed by Kazue Saito. It has appeared in Super Robot Wars Impact as well as Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2.

[edit] Description

Due to the corruption and augmentation of the original Weiss Ritter by the Einst aliens, the Rein Weiss Ritter looks biomechanical in nature. Traces of the white armor plating of the original Weiss can be seen, but most of itts armor has been replaced with the green, tentacle-like tendrils and red spherical jewels of an Einst, giving it an unusual, somewhat demonic look.

[edit] Technical and historical

For information on the original machine, see Weiss Ritter.

After the Einst capture Excellen Browning and her machine, they begin to possess her, which is easy, due to the fact her body is part Einst. Her machine is upgraded using Einst technology, which boosts the power output to new heights. 60 percent of the armor has also been replaced by Einst technology, and new additions including four large white bat-like wings are added to the backpack and the Howling Launcher. This unit would become known as the Rein Weiss Ritter (German for "Pure White Knight", although it's a literal translation and grammatically incorrect.). After Excellen returns to her teammates, this machine is designated with the codenumber PTX-007-03UN.

Excellen would utilize this weapon to its fullest potential. She would work alongside her boyfriend Kyosuke Nanbu and his Alt Eisen Riese. Together, they can perform their signature combination attack, the new Rampage Ghost. At the end of the war after the Einst are defeated, the Rein Weiss Ritter's Einst components crumble and reverts back into the Weiss Ritter.

Weapon Systems:

• Triple Beam Cannon

  Excellen sets the Howling Launcher to ballistic mode. It then fires large solid rounds at the target.

  What the "X" stands for is unknown. This mode transforms the Howling Launcher in a very scary fashion into a larger (and more intimidating) mode which mounts three large energy cannons. The Rein Weiss Ritter launches a super charged energy shot to annhilate the opponent.

• Rampage Ghost
  Excellen and Kyosuke's signature attack. They unleash a coordinated barrage of attacks upon the opponent in a coordinated strategy.
