The ARZ-124HBIIM Aqua-Hambrabi II (アクア・ハンブラビⅡ Akua Hanburabi II?) is a Support Machine that is featured in the Advance of Zeta Re-Boot: Gundam Inle novel.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
In contrast to the Hambrabi II, a mobile armor that focuses on local space combat, the ARZ-124HBIIM Aqua-Hambrabi II is a unit primarily for localized combat underwater. Hydrojet packs for underwater combat are attached to the drum frame sections on both sides of the body and to the upper fuselage. The armaments throughout the body, including the missile pods attached to various parts, are highly compatible with the Earth Federation's aquatic MS. This can be said to be proof that this unit, after combination, was seen as potential replacement for the RAG-79 Aqua GM. In addition to this underwater equipment, there is equipment for air combat, land combat, and rear logistical support, and, in theory, it can respond to any local battle situations by switching out gear.
Like the original Hrududu II and Hambrabi II, it functions as a G-Part, and can combine with a MS to cruise underwater, function as enhancement equipment for underwater combat, and can also fight independently as a MA. In the case of the Aqua-Hambrabi II, the mobility and maneuverability of the combined MS are improved underwater, giving it equivalent functionality to an aquatic MS. When combined with this unit the naming convention of "Aqua" is applied so, in the case of a Hizack, it becomes an "Aqua Hizack." It can be combined with Titans MS, and is particularly compatible with the Barzam, which was designed to operate under the TR Plan, and the combined form is called "Aqua Barzam". Another feature is that the operational range changes depending on which part of the body it is attached to when combined; for example, if it is attached to the waist of an MS it can be used on water, and if it is attached to the shoulders it can be used under the water.

History[]
Aqua-Hambrabi II were deployed as garrison units for the secret subterranean Inle base on Mars, which was located beneath a glacier. They provided underwater security, and some of the units were also used in the underwater construction of the Inle base, taking advantage of their function as mobile pods.
