Lancelot

The Lancelot (ランスロット, Ransurotto), named after the Knight of the Round Table, is an experimental Knightmare Frame developed by Lloyd Asplund and the Military Engineering Corps. It is the first seventh generation Knightmare Frame ever fielded. The Lancelot outperforms most other models thanks to the heavy amount of Sakuradite scattered throughout its frame as well as in its Yggdrasil Drive, the Core Luminous. As it is still in development, the Lancelot lacks an ejection seat. Its pilot is Suzaku Kururugi.

Design and development
As a high-performance unit, the Lancelot features a large number of experimental and innovative devices not yet found on its predecessors. The Lancelot features two retractable Factspheres affixed on its chest, two forearm-mounted beam shields (Blaze Luminous), and four Slash Harkens (two on its wrists and two on its hips). These Slash Harkens have experimental thrusters called Harken Boosters which can improve their speed and allow them to change direction midflight. It also sports a pair of Maser Vibration Swords (MVS), which oscillate at a high rate to cut through almost anything. It comes equipped with a VARIS particle rifle (Variable Ammunition Repulsion Impact Spitfire) which can adapt its projectile repulsion output to any situation. The Lancelot can also equip a backpack-like Float System that allows it to fly; however, the power usage of the Float System is astronomical. When equipped with the Float System, it is designated as the Z-01/A Lancelot Air Cavalry.

Lancelot Frontier
Near the end of the second season, C.C. receives a pink version of the Lancelot, called the Lancelot Frontier. It is slightly weaker than the original version, as it is made from spare and salvaged parts, however, it is equipped with the missile launcher / shield used on the Percival. Ironically this version also possesses a cockpit ejection system, which is intended to preserve the life of the pilot, the immortal C.C.. The Lancelot Frontier is destroyed in combat with Kallen.

Lancelot Enhanced
In the Nintendo DS game, Suzaku receives an upgraded version of the Lancelot, called the Lancelot Enhanced. This model, like it's predecessor, is a seventh generation Knightmare Frame.

Lancelot Club
A prototype seventh generation Knightmare Frame built from spare parts for the Lancelot around a Sutherland frame, the Lancelot Club, features many of the same specifications as the original. In fact, the Club is in many ways a stepping stone between the Lancelot and the mass-production Vincent, equipped with Lancelot's forearm mounted Blaze Luminous and Slash Harkens, but featuring the Vincent's shoulder mounted Factspheres and similar twin MVS blades. Its Factspheres have greater data gathering capacities than that of the original Lancelot and its custom Assault Rifle can be set for both short-range consecutive fire or long-range sniping purposes. Intended to be the Lancelot's sister unit, it is formally dubbed Z-01b Lancelot Club (or simply "Club" for short). Due to budgetary concerns, the Club lacks the Sakuradite-heavy frame of its sibling; though its performance is lower than the Lancelot's, it is still superior to the Sutherland. This unit only appears in Code Geass: Lost Colors, built specifically for and piloted by the protagonist Rai if the player chooses the Britannian Military route.
