In late C.E. 71, Junk Guild technician Lowe Guele forges a 150 meter "Gerbera Straight" katana using rare metal from a meteor that crashes to Earth. Lowe uses the giant sword to destroy several ZGMF-600 GuAIZ units during an attack on the Graveyard colony, but the sword proves too big for his MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame to handle by itself. While re-supplying the Three Ships Alliance vessel Eternal, Lowe sees Athrun Zala's ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam dock with the METEOR weapons platform. Inspired by the METEOR support unit, Lowe creates the enormous Power Loader for the express purpose of wielding the massive katana. Because of its enormous size, the Power Loader is stored in two pieces aboard the Re.H.O.M.E. After completing the experimental Power Loader, Lowe first uses it to cut the ruined PLANT Junius Seven in half to prevent its fragments from crashing into other PLANTs. Later, Lowe uses the Power Loader in battle against Ash Gray's massive ZGMF-X11A Regenerate Gundam. The Power Loader is destroyed in battle, and Lowe creates new arms, allowing the Powered Red to use the giant katana on its own.
