The second Gundam to be revealed to the world at large by Celestial Being, Gundam Dynames is the mobile suit of the first Lockon Stratos. Largely a counterpart to Gundam Exia, the Dynames has only token melee weapons, preferring to use its GN Sniper Rifle and other firearms to provide mid to long-range support. For high-precision targeting, the unit's facial armor can be reconfigured to Sniper Mode, exposing a forehead scope used specifically with a rifle-like controller within the cockpit. The cockpit also contains customized dock for Lockon's Haro, which acts primarily to assist in suit movement and enemy detection. Lockon often relegates all tasks but using the sniper rifle to Haro. The name Dynames is derived from dunamis, the Greek word for power or force.

History
GN-002 Gundam Dynames is one of the protagonist units of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The Dynames main weapon is the GN Sniper Rifle, a long-barreled beam rifle which is used during standard sniping missions. For close combat, the Dynames has a pair of GN Beam Pistols mounted on its lower legs as well as two GN beam sabers stored at either side of the movable rear thrusters. Other standard armament include a small GN Shield, secured upon the rotatable shoulder dock opposite the sniper rifle and the mantle-like GN Full-Shield which consists of two shoulder-docked shield extensions that offer varying degrees of frontal protection. The GN Full Shield can be controlled by Haro at the pilot's request. Dynames also houses 24 GN missiles launched from behind the frontal knee and skirt armor for dealing with multiple enemies. Its most powerful weapon however is the GN Extreme Long Range Sniper Rifle, an optional stationary armament capable of targeting and sniping targets in planetary orbit. Though never activated in the series, had the Trans-Am System been enabled, it would have boosted Dynames's specs to three times the normal amount and its acceleration would've caused afterimages to appear. As its primary armament is the long-range GN Rifle, Dynames is almost exclusively used as a sniper, taking up a well-hidden position and dispatching targets from afar while Exia draws the attention and fire of the enemies. If forced into mid-range or close-range combat, Dynames switches from the Rifle to its GN Pistols, wielded akimbo. In most situations, Lockon only performs aiming and firing, with all remaining tasks (including evasion, movement, and control of the GN Full Shield) relegated to Haro. In very short range, Dynames prefers to use its GN Missiles, using its beam sabers only as a last resort. Though rarely used, Dynames has a special rifle with which it is capable of firing on orbital targets from the ground. It is also capable of docking with the GN Arms support craft to boost its firepower enormously.

Appearance
Dynames is very different appearance since it was made to be a long range mobile suit. It huge shields mounted on its shoulders moves in front serve as protection and as a camouflage when attacking.
