The GM Trainer is a mobile suit used for training by the Earth Federation Forces. It is a part of the Mobile Suit Variation line.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

During the One Year War, the number of pilots had decreased due to the Battle of Loum, and the war had shifted from fleet battles between battleships and fighters to hand-to-hand combat between mobile suits, making the lack of trained mobile suit pilots a serious problem. Additionally, since the deployment of various GM type MS had begun, there was a need to train pilots to be more in tune with the GM, and this machine was developed for combat training to solve these problems.

The GM Trainer has two cockpits, one in the abdomen for the trainee pilot, and another above it for the instructor. A portion of the front, left section of the instructor's cockpit is made of glass, allowing the naked eye to see what is going on outside. The performance of the GM Trainer is almost the same as that of the GM, but due to the exclusion of many armaments for cost reduction and the low quality of the armor, this machine is incapable of withstanding actual combat.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Saber
A beam weapon for close combat. It is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating. One is stored on the left side of the backpack.
  • BR-M-79C-1 Beam Spray Gun
A handheld mega-particle gun with a lower focusing rate than a beam rifle and short-range. The beam spray gun features three different firing modes: a basic single-shot mode, a burst shot mode for area suppression, and a range shot mode that scatters the beam to cause damage over a wide area. Output 1.4 MW.
  • HWF GMG·MG79-90mm Bullpup Machine Gun
The bullpup machine gun was a system weapon developed as a Space/Ground dual-use projectile weapon. Though compact, it has sufficient anti-MS firepower while maintaining accuracy. Its muzzle velocity is increased due to the use of new gunpowder and this enables it to easily penetrate the armor of Zeon's mobile suit. A box-like sensor system incorporating a video camera and laser sensor is installed at the top, and when this system is used alongside the GM's targeting system, target acquisition capability is enhanced.
  • YHI YF-MG100 100mm Machine Gun
The standard armament for Federation mobile suit ground forces during the One Year War was developed by Yashima Heavy Industries. It has an alternate model number: "NF·GMG-Type.37/100mm". Equipped with a box magazine and folding stock, it has an excellent rate of fire and is easy to wield. It utilized a smoothbore type barrel that lacked rifling and has to be replaced after firing 3000 rounds. The weapon could utilize three different types of ammunition: HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank), APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding-Sabot), and HESH (High Explosive Squash Head), allowing combat units to select the appropriate type to meet operational needs.
  • FADEGEL RGM-M-Sh-003 Shield
A basic defensive armament used by the Federation's GM type MS. It is composed of a triple honeycomb structure made of Luna Titanium and the surface also has anti-beam coating for defending against beam attacks.
