The GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser (aka 00 Raiser) is the combined form of GN-0000 00 Gundam and GNR-010 0 Raiser introduced in season 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Typically co-piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei and Saji Crossroad, the mobile suit could also be solely piloted by Setsuna.
The GN-0000 00 Gundam was one of the new Gundams deployed by Celestial Being in AD 2312, and the first mobile suit to feature the Twin Drive System that comprised two original GN Drives. By perfectly synchronizing the two GN Drives, the Twin Drive System can produce a GN Particle output that is squared that of a single GN Drive rather than merely doubled. The 00 was expected to have exceptional combat capabilities thanks to this immense amount of GN Particles. Unfortunately, the 00 was unable to stabilize the Twin Drive System by itself, and this also caused its GN Drives to overload when the Trans-Am System was used in battle. To solve these problems, the Celestial Being engineers turned to the GNR-010 0 Raiser, a dedicated support machine for 00 that was also capable of docking with the Gundam to form the "GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser". In the 00 Raiser form, the 0 Raiser used its system to control and stabilize the 00's Twin Drive System, leading to the full operation of the Twin Drive and safe activation of the Trans-Am System. The performance of 00 Raiser exceeded all previous Gundams and was beyond expectations, thus the word "Gundam" was removed from its name as it was considered to have transcended the Gundam category.
