LGZ-91 Lightning Gundam

The LGZ-91 Lightning Gundam is a Gunpla from Gundam Build Fighters Try. Based on the RGZ-91 Re-GZ, it is built and piloted by Yuuma Kousaka.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Yuuma Kousaka's Gunpla that was made based on the Re-GZ that appeared in Char's Counterattack. It has high performance sensors in the shoulders and by coupling the beam rifle for long distance shooting, astoundingly precise shots become possible. For that reason, long range attack is the core in battle. On the other hand, it possesses abilities such as being able to travel long distances at high speed by transforming into Flight Mode due to the combination with the Back Weapon System, being completed as a machine that is capable of putting into practice multifaceted strategies. From main force to support, it performs extensively in team battle.

Armaments

 * Beam Cannon
 * A pair of beam cannons can be mounted on the Lightning Back Weapon System, and can be replaced by missile pods.


 * Beam Saber
 * Armament for melee combat that's stored on the back of the waist side armors. It generates a beam blade.


 * Beam Vulcan
 * Built into the left arm. It rapidly fires low power beams . Easier to handle than a handheld gun.


 * Handgun
 * Power is weak, but it's easy to maneuver since it's small. It's an effective gun even in close combat by supporting rapid-fire too.


 * Beam Rifle
 * Gun formed by equipping additional parts to the Handgun. Generic beam rifle.


 * Beam Rifle (Long Barrel)
 * Gun for sniping that has the longest barrel. Higher precision sniping becomes possible by coupling with the shoulder sensors.


 * 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. The missile pod can be replaced by a pair of beam cannons.


 * Shield
 * It can be even used as a bipod during precision shooting.


 * Beam Vulcan
 * Equipped in the Shield. It's suitable for interception by firing beams widely.


 * Vulcan Gun
 * Solid bullet armament built into the head. Power is not high, but it has a high rate of fire, so it's employed to intercept incoming missiles, etc.


 * 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.

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.

Notes & Trivia

 * Although the Lightning Gundam is based on the Re-GZ, its HG model kit does not share any parts with the HG model kit of the Re-Gz.
