G-Bull Easy: The Versatile Support Tank

The G-Bull Easy is a modified version of the G-Bull, a Core Block System Support Tank used by the Earth Federation Forces in the Mobile Suit Gundam series. This unique configuration was created by operating the A-Parts of the G-Fighter independently, without combining it with the FF-X7 Core Fighter or RX-78-2 Gundam.

Design and Features

The G-Bull Easy retains the same pilot accommodations as the standard G-Bull, with a single pilot seated in a canopy cockpit. Its armaments include two mega particle cannons, a 2-tube missile launcher, and two RX-M-SH-008/S-01025 shields mounted on either side of the vehicle.

Armaments

The mega particle cannons are the G-Bull Easy’s primary weapons, providing a significant increase in firepower compared to the standard G-Bull. The 2-tube missile launcher is mounted on the underside of the A-Parts’ nose, offering additional firepower. The RX-M-SH-008/S-01025 shields, borrowed from the Gundam, provide enhanced protection for the vehicle.

History

The G-Bull Easy made its debut in 0079 U.C. and saw action throughout the One Year War. Its unique design and capabilities made it a valuable asset for the Earth Federation Forces.

Trivia

Did you know that the G-Bull Easy’s shields were designed for shock diffusion and absorption rather than robustness? They feature a triple honeycomb structure, with a high-density ceramic material based on super-hard steel alloy sandwiched between aramid fibers and an outermost layer made of luna titanium alloy.
