Masurao's Trans-Am is on bar with those of Celestial Being's Gundams.
Leaving 00 Raiser aside. In fact, the particle generation/release rate should even be superior to original Trans-Am system of true GN drives. I guess Katagriri learned a lot by examining Kyrios Gundam. It also seems prof. Efiman is helping Katagiri even from his grave ;)

I was a fan of him in season one but... I don't know... This "Mr. Bushido" bit is a little cheesy for my tastes so I'm not expecting anything great from him anymore...

Fine guys, add a 1500s swordsman into Gundam world, go ahead, it will better the plot of shounen fightan.

Useless character is useless, cannon fodder.

Betting my money he will turn and come helping CB block a large motherload of a laser aimed at them in the last minute (HOORAY MWU LA FLAGGAN IS BACK)

Also, patrick Colasaur is dead, wait, I forgot, nobody really dies as long as they are useless characters...(betting he is somehow alive if not incomplete by the time Katie found him.)

Also, what a large waste of manpower, a few thousand Trans Am capable machines, sent on a suicide bombing mission...like..make use of the TA guys, bother the Gundams until they couldn't do shit no more and sink the Ptolemy at one shot.
It was that easy, but no...HELL DIVE

and failed at that with a HELL DIVE by Ptolemy to enter Celestial Being (the Station which I would refer as CBS) CBS was full of defense, but look...it was that easy to break through.

Not expecting help from Katie and the United forces, with A Laws gone and Louise gone mad I am pretty certain the rest will explain itself. OO Gundam capture foreseen as Setsuna turns Innovator and Ribbons control him.

His Trans-AM didn't make any difference in the fight...
I feel a little sad for himbecause he find a wrong target for himself

why are you saying that trans graham trans am particle generation should be greater than the real trans am? that totally impossible as the GN drive Tau is not able to generate particles like the real GN drive can so the MS would be out of particles in no time if that were to be true.

second the Trans-Am info wasn't in the Gundam but in the black boxes in the GN-drive and they didn't get anything about it wen they got kyrios.

Mr. Bushido with his piloting skills and his ownage Gundam = awesome
Mr. Bushido with his piloting skills and his ownage Gundam plus a Trans-AM system attached to it = freaking awesome

Well, I think that the Masurao must have a shorter trans-am time limit. Maybe the system is made so that trans am turns of before all his particles are depleted. That's probably why he ran after the first fight with trans-am, because he was running on reserve particles.

Does any know if there are any good wallpapers of the masurao or the susano gundam?
Thanks

Firstly, it has been sated in the anime that Tau drives produce more particles (perhaps compare the amount of particles released by a True GN Drive equipped unit to that of a GN Tau Drive unit, like AHEAD or GN-XII). Currently it is speculated that the only thing differentiating a true drive and a Tau drive is TD Plunket, which acts as kind of a filter, "filtering" out harmful Tau particles and thus decreasing the particle output of the drive. But that's just a speculation.

Secondly, the operational time of a TRANS-AM equipped Tau Drive unit is indeed reduced greatly, as Graham kindly demonstrated when he first activated TRANS-AM.

Thirdly, Katagriri didn't utilize the same system used on Gundam, that is impossible due to the nature of Tau dives. He noted he had based it on the professor's notes and he simply proved it (hence why I speculated Kyrios had something to do with it). And I do believe they did indeed get inspiration from Kyrios, since if you remove AHEAD's armor, it should look exactly like a Gundam, main feature being the large GN condenser in its chest.

I believe this would clarify my point.

It would only be cooler if you got to see the cockpit of his suit saying TRANS-AM SYSTEM

Putting aside the point of how he is able to use trans-am, I think that the idea of having him able to use it and fight against setsuna with it was great. It was a great moment to the viewers of the scene when the two trans-am units clashed against each other.

Speaking of Trans-am, everyone in the end have Trans-Am since Katagiri found the truth or rather formula to executing Trans-Am. So, it isn't that surprising for Graham to use a Trans-Am.

how can you actually say a GN tau drive can have Better output than a true GN drive and were in the anime was said that a Tau drive has better output than a true one?

second The Tau drive runs on a finite time that's one big difference if you ask me the more the MS releases the GN particles doesn't mean it has more it just means it doesn't have were to put them is like the first time we see the 0 gundam and at the end of the season 2 we see the difference in 0 gundam now that it has GN condensers.

the more you keep on using a laptop at 100 percent whit out plug in it to the energy plug the faster it runs out (the Tau drives) and the GN drives the true ones is that same laptop but plug on the energy plug.

what it was stated in the anime was that a GNZ Tau drive can reach the performance of a true GN drive BUT it has the disadvantage that it cant run for a finite time and the Tau drive in a GNZ is not the same one in the GNXiI or an Ahead

Official info from 00 Mechanics 1st

Output Characteristics:
Tau: There isn’t a significant difference in output, but since the operation time is limited, in a drawn-out conflict the original GN Drives have a decided advantage.
Real: Again, there isn’t a significant output difference, but the advantages of unlimited supply and the ability to store particles come to mind.

oh i forgot of coarse the aheads wen purged of the Armour looks like a gundam Because its a Gundam even the GNX were gundams just whit different Armour plus who did the GNX made the gundam thrones.

When Bushido first unvieled his Trans-Am I was very giddy. I'm glad it was put to good use later on in the series against Setsuna in a Trans-Am mobile suit battle

You actually confirmed my point :P And I believe I explained it pretty thoroughly before.

All Tau drive units have GN Condensers as well (mostly in chest sections, like 3rd Gen Gundams and in joint sections). So they store the particles pretty effectively and are able to utilize them when needed, like Gadessa, which has giant condensers in its shoulders.
The 0 Gundam has GN Condensers as well, it's clearly visible in its chest. It's spouting particles only because the particle control mechanism is inefficient. All following Gundams have them as well as well as improved particle control systems.

The concept doesn't apply since GN Tau and true drives are essentially different. Since TD Plunket wasn't available for Tau drives, Ribbons had to engineer the drive without it. That resulted in increased particle release rate and red GN particles as well as a significant decrease in operation time.
