During the first launch of the Lancelot, the development team says that they
haven't been able to install an ejection mechanism in it. Even though the
Lancelot gets new upgrades as the story progresses, no mention about the
ejection mechanism gets made. Did they finally install it?

Did they finally put an ejection mechanism in Lancelot?


It's assumed so since the page for the [Lancelot
Conquista](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Lancelot_Conquista), the upgraded
version of the original Lancelot, lists it as one of its design features while
the [Lancelot](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Lancelot) does not list it. So
one could assume that before it was officially ordained as the _Conquista_ the
Cockpit Ejection System was added in.

When the Lancelot was equipped with the Float System in _Stage 20 - Battle for
Kyushu_ it was designated as the **Z-01/A** (the Lancelot is designated
originally as **Z-01** while the Conquista is **Z-01/D** ). C.C's Lancelot
Frontier (which is more or less another Lancelot) is listed as having the
Cockpit Ejection System and it too is designated as the **Z-01/A** 1 so to
narrow down the time we could assume that it was between Stage 20 the Ejection
System was installed and the ordination of the _Conquista_

We know that the [Lancelot
Albion](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Lancelot_Albion) had to have had one
installed regardless for the successful completion of the Zero Requiem

> As Suzaku needed someway to escape from his exploding Knightmare when he
> faked his death to later assume the role as Zero

Also on the [Cockpit Ejection
System](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Cockpit_Ejection_System) does say this

> All production-model and most prototype Knightmare Frames are equipped with
> this system. **The only Knightmare confirmed to lack a cockpit ejection
> system is the Z-01 Lancelot.** This flaw is later addressed in the Lancelot
> Frontier, which except for its color is otherwise identical to the
> Lancelot's. It is unknown whether Suzaku's final machine, the Lancelot
> Albion, had an ejection system.

though the last sentence seems contradictory since the Lancelot Albion's page
says

> In the last episode, it is hinted that a cockpit ejection system might have
> been built into it.

1 - the designantions are shared between Knightmares when massproduced. the
Glasgow's designation is RPI-11 which is shared by the Knightpolice (who are
retired Glasgow's) so the Z-01/A being shared between the Lancelot and
Lancelot Frontier could be an indication that the Frontier's specs are what
was planned for possible Mass Production of the Lancelot before the inception
of the _RPI-212 Vincent_ which later led to the Mass Production Model
_RPI-212B Vincent Ward_
