Ace pilots were chosen from the three superpowers but, transcending organizational boundaries, they're utilized as 'UN Forces'. They're overwhelming in number and can fight more than evenly with a Gundam."

) The Throne's red GN Drive was the first GN Drives CB produced, but the red GN particles they produce is bad for human, and the operating condition isn't always stable, hence they create the TD Blanket that basically filter out the bad stuff, so the GN Drive is more stable and the particles are not harmful to humans. TD Blanket takes mass resource and special environment (Jupiter?) to produce. Supposedly, if the GN Drive keep on emitting the red GN particles, eventually it will "break" the GN Drive (coming from the CB founder).
2) There was an internal break in CB, as they were split as to whether they should use the "fake" GN drives while the main CB group want only the "good" GN Drive to exist. There was a "revolution/revolt" around 80 years ago, the main manufacturing facilities were moved/destroyed, some of the other groups were killed, along with the "living CPUs". However, some data remains left behind.
3) However, TD blanket has a limit on how much it can filter, so when the GN Drive produced too much, it will start to go "Berserk" and release a lot of red GN particles. This can be used as a weapon, and when the MS is in this mode, it is called TRANSAM. Weapons and movement are powered several times in this mode.
4) Since the red GN particles is bad for the pilot, this mode cannot be used in normal operation. Only special weapons that require a lot of GN particles like GN ARMS can use it. The TRANSAM mode can only be unlocked by the living CPU directly control/controlled(?) by VEDA.

Stephanie to make film debut
As reported by ANN, J-pop artist Stephanie, whose "Friends" is the current ED song of Gundam 00, will make her acting debut as the lead in the film "Pride", based on a manga and to be directed by Shusuke Kaneko (Azumi 2, Death Note live-action films). More details at the ANN link.

The Dengeki Hobby features on the Gundam Plutone explain that it has "GN Composite Armor," in which GN particles are infused into the gap between its armor layers. This was apparently devised as an alternative to its unstable GN Field barrier, but it's possible that the later Gundam models might have adopted a similar system, either using GN particles within their armor or spreading them across the armor surface as is apparently done with their shields.
As for E Carbon itself, it's supposed to be a fairly common material. The Exia kit manuals say that its armor material is shared with most other modern mobile suits, but obviously once you throw the magic GN particle into the mix, you can justify all kinds of weird phenomena.
on the GN Arms:
GN Arms could dock with the assault use container as seen in the beginning of ep 22. According to the instruction menu of GN Arms E, the assault container can replace the existing ones on the Ptolemaios. This container along with the weapons provided by the GN arms act as the fixed armaments of the Ptolemaios, in other words, its primary cannon.
