The GA-002 Kung-Fu Fighter (GA-002 カングフーファイター) is Ranpha Franboise's EDEN Emblem Frame.
Technical Overview[]
Designed as a close-combat fighter, the red Kung-fu Fighter possesses extraordinary close range combat abilities with high agility as well as electro-magnetic claws allowing it to grapple enemy ships at close range. However, it sacrifices armor for mobility. Its Hyper Weapon is the Anchor Claw, where the said two gigantic claws are launched at one target for massive damage. While normally only hitting one target at a time, if the claws destroy the target with one blow and other enemies are nearby, they will automatically attack them as well.

Hyper Weapon[]
- Anchor Claws: The Frame's two gigantic claws are both launched at the target, single only but with 100% sure-kill certainty. However, if the claws destroy the target with one blow and other enemies are nearby, they will automatically attack them as well, leading to multiple destroyed ships in a small area.

The Kung-fu Fighter has the highest speed of all the EDEN Emblem Frames (able to avoid most missiles) and a high firepower rating at the expense of durability. In terms of the unit's speed and the pilot's behaviour, the unit is the most likely to engage to enemy first putting it at risk of being outnumbered and shot down. On the other hand, her speed also allows her to retreat, receive repairs then return to battle faster than the others. Because of this, Ranpha is better suited for hunting down other fighters lest she get swatted down by larger carriers such as Zems.
Weapons include a heavy missile launcher (range 4000, min 2000) and twin gatling guns (range 3000). Against fighters (i.e. the Hell Hounds), the heavy missile is replaced by a swarm of anti-fighter missiles.
Its Hyper Weapon are the Anchor Claws (range 4000); that deals heavy single target damage "punching" the enemy two times in succession. In ML and EL, if the Anchor Claw overkills its primary target, the special will move on to nearby targets. While only hitting one target at a time, it almost certainly destroys the target, with the exception of attack satellites.
