The Lightning Gundam is a mobile suit from the anime series Gundam Build Fighters Try. It is a variant of the RGZ-91 Re-GZ, and is built and piloted by Yuuma Kousaka.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Designed for long range shooting, the Lightning Gundam has a pair of high performance sensors in its shoulder to enhance its firing accuracy. Weapon wise, it is initially equipped with a handgun that can be changed into a beam rifle, one beam vulcan, a pair of vulcan guns, a pair of beam sabers and a shield equipped with two beam vulcans. Thanks to its weapon load out, the Lightning Gundam can also be used for mid to close range combat. The Lightning Gundam later gains the beam rifle (long barrel) and is upgraded with the Lightning Back Weapon System, which allows it to transform into flight mode and grants it greater tactical flexibility, allowing it to take on other combat roles beside rear support. With the Lightning Back Weapon System, the suit also gains additional weaponry in the form of a pair of missile pods or beam cannons. The suit can also be equipped with parts from SD-237 Winning Gundam to increase the power and range of its beam rifle/beam rifle (long barrel).
Armaments
- Vulcan Gun
- Mounted on the head, the pair of shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but little power. They can however damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors and are ideal for intercepting incoming missiles or enemy units at close range.
- Beam Saber
- A sword-like beam weapon that serve as the Lightning Gundam's primary close combat weapon, a pair of them are stored on the underside of the suit's side skirt armor.
- Beam Vulcan
- Mounted on the left forearm, it is a low powered beam weapon but has a high-rate of fire.
- Shield
- Mounted on the left arm, it serves as the suit's main defensive equipment and mounts a pair of beam vulcans. This arm-sized shield can be detached and serves as a bipod for the beam rifle or beam rifle (long barrel) during precise attacks. The shield is later lengthened through the attachment of parts from the Lightning Back Weapon System, however, it seems to have lost the ability to function as a bipod.
- Beam Vulcan
- A pair of beam vulcans are mounted on the shield, they are low powered beam weaponry but have a high-rate of fire. The beam vulcans can be used even when the suit is in its flight form.
- Handgun
- A handheld beam weapon with low firepower, but it has a high-rate of fire, and coupled with its small size made it a very effective weapon in close range combat. Additional parts can be attached to the handgun to transform it into the beam rifle or the beam rifle (long barrel).
- Beam Rifle
- The handgun with a long sensor-equipped barrel, it has improved firepower but lower rate of fire.
- Beam Rifle (Long Barrel)
- The handgun with an even longer sensor-equipped barrel, it is developed for sniping and can connect with the shoulder sensors for better accuracy. It is usable in flight mode, where it is mounted on the left or right shoulder of the suit. The rifle is also fitted with an extra sensor unit at the side and it comes with another handle for better firing stability. If required, the Lightning Gundam can be equipped with both the beam rifle and the beam rifle (long barrel).
- Winning Launcher
- A power up equipment for the beam rifle or the beam rifle (long barrel), it is attached to the front of the rifle and is formed from the combination of one of Winning Gundam's backpack boosters and legs. The winning launcher increases the firing range and power of the beam rifle/beam rifle (long barrel). When the Lightning Gundam is equipped with both the beam rifle and beam rifle (long barrel), it can use another winning launcher.
- Missile Pod
- A pair of 8-tube missile pods are mounted on the Lightning Back Weapon System. The missiles fired seem to have homing capabilities.
- Beam Cannon
- A pair of beam cannons can be mounted on the Lightning Back Weapon System in place of the missile pods.
Special Equipment & Features
- Lightning Back Weapon System
- Developed based on the RGZ-91 Re-GZ's Back Weapon System, the Lightning Back Weapon System can be equipped with either a pair of missiles pods or a pair of beam cannons. It can operate as an independent support unit or be mounted on the Lightning Gundam, allowing it to transform into its flight mode for long distance, high speed travel. When combined with Lightning Gundam, the nose of the Lightning Back Weapon System will separate and attach to the suit's shield, while the rest of the system will be attached to the suit's back. When in flight mode, the Lightning Gundam can carry another mobile suit on top. The system itself is also capable of acting as a sub-flight unit for other mobile suit and can function without the nose unit.
