![]() ![]() The shoulder units each contain four torpedo pods, and the mobile suit also uses the same handheld missile launcher as the Aqua GM. With this equipment, the GP01 is outfitted with the shoulder and calf hydrojet units from the RAG-79 Aqua GM along with a new hydrojet-equipped backpack. In the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Rebellion manga, the GP01 could be equipped with the Aqua equipment for combat underwater. Though it enhanced the GP01's defensive capabilities, it weighs down the suit tremendously. The GP01 features a core block system that allows the cockpit and main engines to eject in the form of a fighter plane, preserving the pilot's life and vital combat data.Īppearing in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Rebellion manga, the Chobham armor was a series of add-on heavy armor plates attached to the body of the GP01. Used along with the Aqua Equipment in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Rebellion manga. Also used by the GM Type C.Ī hand-carried weapon originally used by the RAG-79 Aqua GM for amphibious combat, it contained a set of missile launchers and two large torpedoes. Technically a large rocket launcher, it fires 360mm missiles to attack targets at long range. The inside of the shield could store two e-pacs. When not used, the top of the shield retracts to reduce inertia. Also used by the RGM-79C GM Type C.Īn anti-beam coated shield, capable of withstanding two to three direct hits from beam cannons. ![]() The standard weapon of Federation mobile suits in U.C. However, the beam guns' firepower was very weak, and they were only useful for intimidation or distraction. A pair were stored on the sides of the backpack, which doubled as the Core Fighter's beam guns. Made by AE Blash, a subsidiary of Anaheim Electronics. ![]() This allowed the GP01 to defend itself against enemy melee weapons when holding the beam rifle. Named after a specialized weapon used by Japanese police in the Edo period, the Jutte was a small beam saber located under the barrel of the beam rifle. Made by BOWA, a beam weapon developer since the One Year War, this beam rifle had an output of 1.5MW and adopted the revolutionary e-pac system. These guns rapid-fire physical projectiles and are capable of dealing critical damage to enemy machine in extreme close range. Compared to its predecessor, the GP01's vulcan guns featured improved range and accuracy. Armaments Īs with the RX-78, the GP01 was equipped with a pair of head-mounted 60mm vulcan guns. Thanks to this design, despite being a general-purpose mobile suit, its performance rivaled or exceeded dedicated ground-use and space-use mobile suits in both environments. īy switching the Core Fighter, the GP01 could operate both on Earth and in space, though additional readjustment and maintenance was still needed. Thanks to this design, the Core Fighter's propellant, thrusters, and weapons were no longer dead weight when docked. In addition, when docked, the Core Fighter's beam guns serve as the GP01's beam sabers. The GP01's main generator, main thrusters, and operation and control instruments were all integrated into its FF-XII Core Fighter II. However, to address the RX-78's structural weakness in the stomach, the GP01 adopted an experimental "horizontal in the body" structure instead of the previously used "vertical in the body" structure. In order to ensure the survival of the pilot and the combat data, the GP01 retained the Core Block System. Overall, the GP01 was designed to allow movement closer to that of a human (a design concept that would eventually evolve into the Movable Frame). ![]() Compared to the RX-78, its sensors and balancer were upgraded or redesigned. Being an experimental unit, it was equipped with an increased number of sensors, some of which were exposed due to being temporary. Developed as part of the Gundam Development Project, the GP01 was a ground-use general purpose mobile suit intended to be an improvement of the RX-78-2 Gundam, which achieved exceptional battle results during the One Year War. ![]()
