Vincent

The Vincent (ヴィンセント) is a seventh generation pre-production model Knightmare Frame. Based on the Lancelot and Lancelot Club, it is introduced a year after the Black Knights' attempted invasion of Tokyo. After the initial success of the Vincent, a commander mode, the Vincent Commander Model, is fielded by the Britannian Armed Forces.

Design and development
The Vincent's mobility is comparable to the Lancelot's, but its design still differs markedly from its predecessor. Its two Factspheres are mounted in its shoulders instead of on its chest, and it only has two hip-mounted Slash Harkens which are not equipped with Harken Boosters. In addition, it does not possess Blaze Luminous. Its Maser Vibration Swords are slightly different from the Lancelot's, in that they are shaped more like spears, and can be attached at the hilts to form a double-bladed lance. It does features a new weapon not found on the Lancelot called the needle blazer. This device, a development of the Lancelot's own "Blaze Luminous" maser shield, emits a short-range blast of focused energy that can penetrate armor with devastating effect. Though it is never used in the series, the Vincent prototype and later Commander Model equips a second set of landspinners in its shoulders.

At its early stage of development, the Vincent lacked a set color scheme, and each individual unit was colored to its pilot's tastes. The first prototype of the Vincent is a yellow and red model loaned to the Britannian intelligence division and piloted by Rolo Lamperouge, before eventually falling under the Order of the Black Knights. It is shown to use the Air Glide Wing System developed by Rakshata, which is also used on the Guren Flight-Enabled Version and the Akatsuki variants. It is heavily damaged in battle against the Siegfried, losing both legs and one of its arms, and is subsequently scrapped. Gilbert G.P. Guilford pilots a production model known as the Vincent Commander Model.

A quartet of pink and white Vincents referred to as the Valkyrie Squadron are under the command of Luciano Bradley. A squadron of green and gold Vincents serve as the royal guard for the Emperor of Britannia and are commanded by the Knight of Twelve, Monica Krushevski. They are ambushed and destroyed by a group of Sutherlands whose pilots are under the influence of Lelouch's Geass.

Vincent Commander Model
The Vincent Commander Model is an enhanced model designed for commanders. The only differences between this and the Vincent is its improved avionics and shielding against ECM and Gefjun Disturbers.
