The GAT-333 Raider Full Spec was a transformable aerial combat mobile suit produced by the Earth Alliance. Although the Raider Full Spec was designed first, it was built after the modified GAT-X370 Raider Gundam. Whereas the Raider Gundam was armed with beam weapons and operable in Earth and space, the Raider Full Spec was armed with non-beam weaponry and designed mainly for use on Earth. Like its counterpart, the Raider Full Spec was equipped with Trans-Phase armor, which activated upon impact to conserve energy. The Raider Full Spec carried a sub-wing held by its claws in flight mode. The sub-wing featured several hardpoints that could mount machine guns and extra propellant tanks.
The Raider Full Spec was tested by Edward Harrelson, who stole it and a GAT-X133 Sword Calamity after the Bloody Valentine War when he defected from the Alliance to fight for his homeland, the United States of South America. The Raider Full Spec was also secretly given to Orb’s noble Sahaku family by the Azrael Foundation. In the months after the war, the Alliance sent three Raider Full Spec units to attack Edward, but he destroyed them with his Sword Calamity in a battle recorded by photojournalist Jess Rabble. Later, Edward headed into space with his own Raider Full Spec and was attacked by Morgan Chevalier’s GAT-01A1+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Dagger. Edward was defeated and pulled into Earth’s gravity well, but he used a piece of space garbage as a shield to survive atmospheric reentry.

Some Fan Art I made back in 2018 of my favorite Mobile Suit from Gundam. Still love the one-eyed design, stands out and still looks great. I've also included some process. #gundam #zaku #mobilesuit
