* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: The Out Frame is the sister unit to one of ZAFT's next-generation Gundams, the Testament, making it one of the most advanced mobile suits around. Lowe got his hands on the Testament's spare parts when he found them within GENESIS Alpha, and ([[CrazyAwesome because he's Lowe]]) cobbled together a non-nuclear copy of it. It is also capable of equipping ''any'' of the {{Mecha Expansion Pack}}s in the series: the Striker units, the Impulse's Silhouettes, the ZAKU Wizards, and even the Astray series Tactical Arms. Jess uses it for journalism and as a mobile home.

An AI that Lowe found on board a derelict ship, which he now carries around in a briefcase-like computer. Hachi is his constant companion and co-pilot of the Red Frame, as it has Mobile Suit combat algorithms in memory in case of an attack. In ''Destiny Astray'', it is given to Jess Rabble and co-pilots the Out Frame, since it does not wish to accompany Lowe to Mars.
