This huge mobile armor is one of the products of Iron Mask's secret Rafflesia Project. The Rafflesia resembles a giant flower, and its main body houses a battery of powerful beam cannons and beam guns capable of destroying multiple Earth Federation Forces battleships in one salvo or to unleash a widespread barrage of beams that cover a wide area. Its five massive petal-like binders are each equipped with a single mega beam cannon, 25 tentacle rods for grappling enemy mobile suits, and four forward facing rocket thrusters.

When the binders are closed and the Rafflesia is moving with its bottom facing the front, the mega beam cannons are forward facing, alongside the Rafflesia's other ranged beam weapons, however the tentacle rods cannot be used. The Rafflesia can only use its close combat tentacle rods when the binders are open. The mobile armor is also equipped with an I-Field generator whose barrier deflects all enemy beam weapons. The Rafflesia dispensed with manual controls, and was instead operated by direct mental command using the Neo-Psycommu system. The pilot, Iron Mask, linked his receptor-filled helmet to the mobile armor with a snake's nest of fiber-optic cables.
