The GPB-X80D Beginning D Gundam (GPB-X80D ビギニングDガンダム?) is a Gunpla introduced in Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning D. It is piloted by Gunpla Meister Shingo Asume.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Customized from the GPB-X80 Beginning Gundam Color D, the Beginning D Gundam has the same basic performance as the original Beginning Gundam, but can enhance its abilities by switching or adding external equipment, making it highly expandable. Additionally, ut has the GPB-X80-30F Beginning 30 Gundam's IFS Unit (I-Field control System unit) built into various U-shaped parts on the shoulders, hips and knees.
The Beginning D Gundam's basic armaments remain the same, but has a new custom beam rifle and although the beam sabers mounted on the back are reduced from six to just two, they have a higher output. It retains the darker color scheme used with the Beginning Gundam Color D, derived from RX-178 Gundam Mk-II's, representing how the Beginning D Gundam has gone through some harsh weather, this minor detail actually increase its performance in Gunpla Battle match.
Armaments[]
- Hyper D Beam Saber
- Stored on the back, the two Hyper D Beam Sabers are equipped with the GPB-X80-30F Beginning 30 Gundam's IFS Unit (I-Field control System unit), greatly enhancing their power output.
- Beam Vulcan
- Rather than standard vulcan guns, Beginning D Gundam has beam vulcan guns which are in the form of a small rectangle on each side of the head, close to the V-fin.
- Hyper D Beam Rifle
- A large beam rifle with higher power output than the original beam rifle thanks to the built-in IFS unit.
- Shield
- The same shield used by the Beginning Gundam Color D. It is used for blocking missiles and beam weaponry. It still stores three beam sabers, like the standard Beginning Gundam.
- Beam Saber
- The same type of beam saber used by the standard Beginning Gundam. Three beam sabers are stored on the back of the shield. A beam blade can be emitted from both ends of the weapon. By holding all three sabers in one hand, they can be used in a claw-like fashion. In this manner, they can easily overpower a beam saber held by the opponent and destroy the opponent in a single slash.
- DRAGOON Equipment
- A set of seven DRAGOONs taken from HG Providence Gundam, can be mounted on the back.
- Hyper Long Rifle
- A handhold version of HG BuCUE's railgun.
- DRAGOON Shield
- A combination of DRAGOON taken from 1/100 Providence Gundam, and a shield, can be mounted on the Beginning D's left arm.
- DJ Lightning Sword
- Modified "Burning J Swords" from the GPB-X80J Beginning J Gundam.
System Features[]
- I-field-based Propulsion System
- Like the Beginning Gundam, the Beginning D Gundam propels itself using I-field instead of regular thrusters. The I-Field is generated by triangular-shaped emitters on the Gunpla's back and by the U-shaped parts mounted all over the body. This gives it exceptional high mobility and it can deflect beam attacks.
