RX-80PR-4 Pale Rider DII
The RX-80PR-4 Pale Rider DII is a prototype Mobile Suit developed for the Titans and deployed in U.C. 0088 after a series of upgrades. It is a direct evolution of the RX-80PR-2 Pale Rider "Dullahan" and part of the Earth Federation's "Pale Rider Project." Unlike the original project units, which were designed to test the experimental HADES (Hyper Animosity Detect Estimate System), the Pale Rider DII was conceived without this system. Instead, its development focused on more conventional and reliable performance enhancements, such as the incorporation of a linear seat and an improved sensor suite.

Its primary armament is the "Shekinah," a composite unit that integrates a giant machine gun, a mega-beam launcher, and micro-missiles, giving it great tactical versatility for mid-range combat. This is complemented by a large tower-type shield with an anti-beam coating and spikes for close combat, in addition to standard weaponry like beam sabers and a beam rifle.
