An experimental variant of the Da-Battles V2 built at the Diaclone Lunar Base. It was the first machine to be equipped with a newly developed ultra-compact Freezon generator, and proved its incredible power in actual combat. The generator output is significantly higher than that of the standard model, generating more power. However the greater power makes it is difficult to control, so the pilot must be experienced and possess advanced piloting skills.
The rest of its formidable capabities are derived from it’s regular brother model, and are as follows:
Battles 01
An all-purpose combat machine that can operate in any environment, from outer space to the ocean floor. It is piloted by the chief pilot and serves as the core of the Diablos V2. The head unit, a collection of highly functional multi-sensors, is housed in the center of the machine.
Battles 02
A high-speed flight combat machine with excellent maneuverability. Consists of an armed arm unit, an airborne maneuvering booster, and a single-seat bolt-on module that controls it. The armed unit has a number of functional options, which can be selected and replaced depending on the mission.
Battles 03
A high-powered machine for land attacks. It can also maneuver in the air for short distances. Consists of a variable leg maneuvering unit and a double-seated bolted modular machine that controls it. Equipped with an armed motorcycle for ground attack support: the Road Viper in the rear hangar. The leg maneuvering unit has a number of functional options, which can be selected and replaced depending on the mission.
Bullet Fighter
An attack support fighter that is a docked version of the Battles 02 and 03 Bolet modules.
Road Viper
An armed attack motorcycle driven by a Freezon engine, equipped with four pulse blasters for on-road and off-road driving.
Diaclone Crew
The Diaclone Corps is an elite group selected from among the citizens of all zones to protect the Earth from the clutches of invading aliens.
Additional armaments
Hammer Magnum
Battles 01: A superconducting railgun attached to an arm launcher. It fires a Hammerhead armor-piercing shell that can penetrate the bow and stern of a large aircraft carrier in an instant. The shells are loaded into the main body, and the maximum number of rounds can be 12.
Slug Cannon
Battles 01: A long-range free-zone beam cannon that attaches to the arm launcher. It has about 1/3 the destructive power of the Robot Base class large freezone beam cannon. Cannot be fired continuously due to the time required for reload charge.
Crash Calibur
A weapon that was converted from an optical particle rock cutter for space development into a fighting weapon. The edge generates a light blade made of diacrom photon crystals. Handling it requires a high level of fighting skill, so it must be licensed. Can be mounted on the Battles 02.
Three-machine combined mode
In its main Dia-Battles mode, which is a combination of three aircraft, the chief pilot of Battles 01 has full control of the combined system. The cockpit of 02 and 03 separate after the docking maneuver of the arm and leg maneuver units to form a small fighter for combat support. The Freezon Generator Resonance Activation Theory allows the combined power of attack and maneuver to be more than three times that of the combined unit.
Two Machine Combined modes
If all three components are not available, or if one aircraft becomes inoperable due to destruction or damage, etc., the aircraft is changed to the optimum maneuvering mode and the battle is continued. There is a form called “Mech Mode” that specializes in combat maneuvers such as walking, jumping, and fighting, and a form called “Heavy Machine Mode” that specializes in combat maneuvers such as flying and running.
Dia-Battles V2 Details
1 – Armament mount /
11 – Flexible armament mount
A movable gun turret with a launcher that can be equipped with various armament modules. The flexible arm mount has a high degree of freedom of movement, allowing for tricky attacks.
2 – Diacrom Photon Cutter Wing
An armament for cutting and slicing enemies in half by focusing a “blade of light” made of Diacrom photon crystals onto the edge of the wing. By dispersing the photon crystals, the entire wing surface can be turned into a protective shield.
3 – Freezon Plasma Ball Launcher
A weapon that converts the Freezon energy used for propulsion into a plasma fireball for attack. It can only be used when not in flight.
4) Arm Unit Forced Removal Device
A device that immediately detaches the arm unit. It can be used to replace an arm unit with a spare unit with a different function when it has been damaged by a bullet or is unusable during battle. In rare cases, it is used to escape from an enemy’s restraint attack.
5) Ultra blast-resistant cockpit unit
A cockpit equipped with a gravity field deflection shield protection system. It is a robust cockpit unit that can sustain the pilot’s life even if most of the fuselage is severely damaged in the most severe armor endurance test of the Diaclone Squadron, the Robot Base Class Freezone Beam Cannon Direct Fire Test. The cockpit of the Bollet Module is also equipped with a similar system.
6) Gatling Knuckle
A standard armament for the arms that replaces the Dia Punch that was equipped in the early to mid Battlestar series. Ultra-high compression graviton bullets are fired at an ultra-high speed of 128 rounds per second, reducing the target to dust.
7) Freezon Nitro Injection Device
A device that injects liquefied freezon directly into the thigh intake ducts. It is used during emergency detachments and other situations that require instantaneous explosive thrust. It can be used even during combined maneuvers, but the entire leg unit is enveloped in an ultra-high-temperature afterfire, so it can only be used for a few seconds.
8) Freezon Pulse Cannon
A rapid-fire Freezon pulse-type cannon. The standard armament of the Battles 01 armed launcher. Its destructive power is of standard level, but it can fire indefinitely as long as the generator is active.
9) Photon Maser Gun
An ultrasonic cannon that is effective underwater and in environments covered with dense gas, where the power of beam weapons and live ammunition is greatly reduced. It is also effective in battles against giant organic weapons.
10) Reversible Booster
A high-power multi booster that reverses the functions of the intake and jet nozzles under low load. The reversible Battles 02 model has been adjusted for use in the atmosphere. Output is reduced, but it can also be used in space or underwater by switching the generator circuit.
12) Freezon Main Engine
The most powerful of the 18 Freezon engines installed in the Dia-Battles V2.
13) Belt Thrasher
An armament for combat maneuvers that exposes super-hard cutters on the edge of the running crawler belt, which break and crush at ultra-high speed. Can also be used in Battle Su03 mode.
BIG-AI
BIG-AI, or Battle-Integral-Generator-A.I.) is an interactive artificial intelligence program specializing in combat, installed within the head unit of most of the humanoid fighting machines owned by the Diaclone Corps. Normally activated in decisive battle mode, it controls the complex total-body drive control system and executes advanced decisive battle maneuvers with the main pilot by making full use of various sensors. In order to ensure smooth coordination, the BIG-AI independently analyzes the best partnerships of the registered pilots on board, and builds a “buddy interface” that is adjusted to the best voice and personality patterns. There are countless BIG-AI programs with different personalities for each Diaclone mecha. The host computer is the GigaZone’s central electronic brain, the Landmaster. During special missions that require extreme precision, a Landmaster program may “step in” directly.
