MG 1/100 ECLIPSE GUNDAM REACTOR 2

The greatest difference between the MVF-X08R2 Eclipse Unit 2 and Unit 1 is its nuclear-powered specifications. The Eclipse, which is equipped with beam rifles, beam sabers, and beam shields, as well as a Mirage Colloid stealth system, requires a large amount of energy due to its equipment and functions. Therefore, despite its high functionality, its short operating time was a major weakness. However, this is also proof that the unit was originally designed to be supplied with power by a nuclear engine. In this sense, Reactor 2 is the true Eclipse. In addition to this, the high mobility of the machine created a problem in which the pilot's body could not withstand the enormous G-force. Only when a pilot with the strength to cope with this problem is on board is the Eclipse able to carry out the purpose for which it was developed—a preemptive attack on an enemy base.
It was designed to function as a bomber unit with its high scouting capability and its night camouflage design, and was created to validate the ability to deter military aggression from other countries by establishing technology capable of preemptive strikes, but its development was shut down before it had achieved this goal. Its production was discontinued for political reasons and the unit was sealed away, kept without an operating system, ostensibly only to provide a source of spare parts for Eclipse Unit 1. No information regarding the unit was ever released to the public. It can be said that this unit symbolizes the gap between the two world wars, where confusion has yet to be resolved.
