GPB-X80-30F Beginning 30 Gundam

GPB-X80-30 Beginning 30 Gundam is an upgrade to the GPB-X80 Beginning Gundam featured in Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G original video animation. It is piloted by Gunpla Builder Haru Irei, who has yet to become a Gunpla Meister.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Begining 30 Gundam is a reworked version of the original Begining Gundam, now outfitted with extra armor and vernier boosters for increased performance and defense. The armor also enhances the overall capabilities of the mobile suit and can generate an I-Field Barrier that protects the mobile suit from incoming attacks. The Beginning 30 Gundam is armed with twelve beam sabers for close combat. Six of these are stored in the backpack, the other six, in its side skirt and are used for emergencies. Three of its beam sabers can be held in each hand in a claw-like fashion, totaling three sabers in each hand. The Beginning 30 Gundam is also equipped with a standard weapon like a beam rifle and shield.

Armaments

 * Beam Sabers
 * Twelve beam sabers are stored in the Beginning Gundam's backpack. Six more are stored in its side skirt. They can be used in a claw-like fashion, holding three sabers in one hand. When used against one hand-held beam saber, it was shown to be able destroy a mobile suit in a single slash, showing how effective it is against an ordinary hand-held beam saber.


 * Vulcan Guns
 * Two head mounted beam vulcan guns presumably used to destroy incoming missles. They are beam weaponry, so they presumably have unlimited ammo unless the mobile suit runs out of power. When used the V-shaped horn of the Beginning Gundam disappears, but comes back when the vulcans are not in use.


 * Beam Rifle
 * A high energy beam rifle that can adjust it's power output. It has an updated design unlike the Beginning Gundam.


 * Shield
 * A standard shield used for blocking missles and beam weaponry.

System Features

 * I-field generator
 * When Minovsky particles are released into the air or into open space, the positive and negative particles spontaneously align themselves into a three-dimensional cubic lattice. Due to the repulsive and electrostatic forces between the Minovsky particles, this lattice functions as a kind of a force field, which is referred to as an I-field. This field has difficulty permeating conductive materials like metal, water, and plasma, and it exerts a repulsive force against mega particles. An I-field is used to to deflect enemy mega particle beams. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator originally could only be installed in large mobile weapons. When the generator is activated, the I-field forms an invisible barrier around the mobile weapon, protecting it from incoming beam attacks. However, this barrier has no effect against solid objects like missiles and projectiles, and beam weapons can still be used at point blank range within the barrier's boundary. The Beginning Gundam can generate this to protect itself from incoming beam attacks.
