Part of the SRX Project, the R-3 was the third of the R-Series to be developed, a commander unit specializing in information gathering and long-distance assaults with telekinetic weapons. It is nimble and agile, in exchange for having the weakest armor among the R-Series. It is also installed with a highly advanced T-Link System, leagues above the one used by R-1, hence an extremely potent Psycodriver is required to control the machine. Extended interaction with the system would leave a huge burden on the pilot, which is why a circuit breaker is incorporated to shut down the system once the limit has been reached. Since the R-3's T-Link System will be inherited by the SRX as a pivotal system, damage to it prior to combination would lead to devastating consequences for SRX. Initially, the R-3 was meant to be utilized in combination assaults with the R-1, however due to the above specifications it ended up stationed at the rear lines. Instead of a standard seating cockpit, the R-3's cockpit is designed as a narrow, standing-type capsule cockpit.

Armaments & Attacks[]
Armaments[]
Head Vulcan Cannon (頭部バルカン砲 | Toubu Vulcan-Hou)
Two rapidly firing machine guns mounted on the R-3's head. They're not very effective on Personal Troopers and similar sized enemies, but they're good for destroying small fighters and ground targets.
Beam Sword (ビームソード)
Beam swords stored within the shoulders for melee combat.
The R-3's main weapon, a large laser cannon for long range sniping. The weapon's laser converges through usage of telekinesis.
Strike Shield (ストライク・シールド)
Six large "shield"-like weapons mounted on the R-3's thruster binders that can be deployed to ram targets with pinpoint accuracy, through usage of the T-Link System. They are made from Zol Orichalconium.
Attacks[]
Burst Shield (バースト・シールド)
The R-3 deploys the Strike Shields to attack multiple surrounding enemies. Only seen in SRW Alpha as a MAP attack.
