Lightning Gundam - Re-Sketch

Description

Why do I call it a "re-sketch"?
Well, that's because this is an old sketch and I just erased some parts and updated the design just a few minutes ago. I felt like uploading this one since I kinda like how the design is currently. That and my mood tells me to do it. ^^;
(sorry if it looks a bit messy and not up to snuff)

This one of the hardest Gundam to design and I have went through over 10 redesigns just for it. Many ideas, lots of observations and sketching before I came here. At first, it was just a simple Arios clone but then I decided to put in some Zeta, Wing and finally ReZEL. I would like to add some Harute-like features but due to the way the pilot's characteristics went about in my mind, I can't make it any "heavier" as it is intended to be more "light" and "fast".

GND-002 Lightning Gundam
Type: High Speed Close Combat Transformable Mobile Suit
Primary colors: Dark orange
Height: 16.1m
Weight: 25.3t
Armaments:
GN Beam Katana (2)
GN Vulcan (Head and Arms)
GN Missiles (???)
GN Cannon

It is not designed completely yet but I'd like to go about the concepts of this one. ^^

In flight mode, the wings have razor sharp condenser blades on the top and bottom portion. This allows a close but dangerous ramming attack from the side.

Also in flight mode, the missiles can be deployed, they are held right in the "backpack". Two cannons can be used too.

Because the beam katanas are stored near the hands at all times, a quick slash by transforming from flight mode to Gundam mode can be done.

An additional weapon, the GN Long Sword/Beam Rifle can be equipped. It has not been completely designed yet. It has a condenser sword tip right under the body. The overall design is aspired from the GN Blaster Sword II.

Due to the nature of the pilot, the Gundam is adjusted for left handed operations.
