The Guren Type-02(紅蓮弐式, Guren Nishiki, lit. Crimson Lotus Type-02) is a Knightmare Frame model designed by Indian engineer Rakshata, manufactured by Japan, and built by the Kyoto House. It is radically different from its Britannian counterparts, and its technology is on par with most seventh generation Knightmare Frames, a fact that is a source of pride for its manufacturers. Unlike Britannian made Knightmare cockpits, the Guren Type-02 features an unconventional pilot seat, shaped in the form of a motorbike seat, and a helm-like outgrowth surrounding its retractable head. The only existing unit is in the possession of the Order of the Black Knights and piloted by Kallen Stadtfeld.

The Guren Type-02's main weapon is its silver right hand. The hand stands out from the otherwise red-painted mech, terminating in clawed fingers, and it can extend at the elbow for a surprise attack. Stored within the palm is the Fukushahadō (輻射波動, Fukushahadō? lit. radiation surge), a powerful microwave radiation emitter. By grabbing onto an enemy Knightmare and activating the emitter, the Guren Type-02 can fry the enemy's electronics and warp the frame itself, not only rendering the unfortunate machine completely unsalvageable, but often damaging the pilot's ejection system, usually ensuring that the pilot will perish with his craft. While not designed as such, the Fukushahadō can also function as a shield. It has been shown to block the lances of enemy Knightmares, bullets from Knightmare rifles, and a shell from the Lancelot's VARIS rifle, though the latter damages the arm on the first attempt. The arm is destroyed in the first season, but replaced in the second with a slimmer, three-fingered version in the second.

Aside from its Fukushahadō, the Guren Type-02 possesses a small fork knife, a cannon on its left arm, and a single Slash Haken. The Guren Type-02's speed and strength can also easily match the Lancelot's. Its lack of long-range weapons make it a close-combat model suited for a defensive position in combat.

Guren Kashōshiki

 * Series: Type-02
 * Height: 4.51m
 * Weight: 7510kg
 * Weapons:
 * Armor-piercing Bombardment-type Fukushahadō Kikou × 1 (徹甲衝砲撃輻射波動,tekko hōgeki fukushahadō × 1? lit. rmor-piercing bombardment-type radiation surge)
 * Slash Haken × 1 (スラッシュハーケン, Surasshuhāken?)
 * Custom Hand Gun × 1 (専用ハンドガン, Sen'yō handogan?)
 * Short-Barreled Cannon × 1
 * Fork Knife × 1
 * Gefjun Net × 1 (Gefjun Net Unit × 12)
 * Equipment/Installment:
 * Landspinner propulsion system
 * Cockpit Ejection system
 * Integrated Float System
 * Radiant wave surger-based shield

After being defeated in battle by Suzaku Kururugi's Lancelot Conquista, the Guren Type-02 receives an upgrade in mid-battle through a series of rocket mounted attachments. The upgraded model is dubbed the Guren Kashōshiki (紅蓮可翔式, Guren Kashōshiki, lit. Crimson Lotus Aerial-Type).

The Guren Kashōshiki's most obvious change is the addition of a Float System, allowing it to fly, and a Blaze Luminous. The Float System attachment includes aesthetic changes to the head, adding antenna on the sides. It also gains a new "armor-piercing bombardment-type" Fukushahadō arm which matches the Knightmare's color scheme, though the forearm is still predominantly silver. The new Fukushahadō arm can fire radiation blasts at long ranges or over wide areas while maintaining its close-range blast. Another addition to Guren's arsenal is the Gefjun Net, a series of rocket-mounted drones launched from the back of the Guren that release a Gefjun Disturber surge. The Lancelot Conquista has countermeasures preventing complete shutdown when exposed to the Disturber, but even it is still slowed down by the surge.

After its capture, the Guren was further refined by Britannian Knightmare researchers, resulting in Guren SEITEN Eight Elements (紅蓮聖天八極式, Guren Shōten Hakkyokushiki lit. Crimson Lotus Ganesha's Eight Extremities-Type). It now uses the energy wing system similar to that of the Lancelot Albion, but with four energy "feathers" instead of three. Its radiant wave surger arm has gold highlights on the fingers and forearm, and the left arm has an added arm guard. Aside from its predecessor's capabilities, the Fukushahado can block hadron cannons and destroy energy shieldings, and can also be detached and remotely controlled; it is also capable of firing disk-like radiation projectile. Rounding out its armament is a Shoto-type MVS, giving it increase power in melee attack.

Additional armor is also present on the knees and ankles. The antenna have been extended and enlarged, making them appear to be giant ears. Its chest is completely different, with the orange part extended further and a pair of green jewels featured prominently on the front. Its namesake comes from its operaiton system, which is Superlative Extruder Interlocked Technology Exclusive Nexus (SEITEN) Eight Elements. Lloyd and Cécile initially considered having Suzaku pilot it, but, much like Rakshata and the Shenhu, they got carried away in their modifications and made it too difficult for even Suzaku to pilot properly.
