G-Armor: The Ultimate Gundam Configuration
The G-Armor is a revolutionary mobile suit configuration that combines the RX-78-2 Gundam with both parts of the G-Fighter. This powerful setup allows for rapid deployment of the Gundam, making it the most used combined configuration of the G-Fighter and Gundam.
Design and Features
The G-Armor features a unique design, with the G-Fighter’s tank treads connecting the A-Parts and B-Parts, enabling energy to flow between the two. The Gundam’s cockpit controls the movement and weapons of the G-Armor, while the G-Fighter’s cockpit handles fire control. The Gundam’s shields are mounted on its arms, providing protection from enemy attacks.
Armaments
The G-Armor is equipped with an array of powerful armaments, including:
- Mega Particle Cannons: Experimental beam cannons mounted on the top of the A-Parts, capable of firing multiple shots.
- 2-Tube Missile Launcher: A retractable missile launcher mounted on the underside of the G-Armor’s nose, suitable for anti-submarine use.
- 4-Tube Missile Launcher: A retractable missile launcher mounted at the rear of the G-Armor, below the main thrusters.
- RX-M-SH-008/S-01025 Shields: Two shields mounted on the Gundam’s arms, designed for shock diffusion and absorption.
