The Engage Gundam Booster Equipment (エンゲージガンダムブースター装備 Engēji Gandamu Būsutā Sōbi?) is a mobile suit first introduced in the smartphone game Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. ENGAGE.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A "what if" retrofit plan for the Engage Gundam unit, enhanced with the concept of high-mobility combat had the Engage Gundam been constructed and operated. It is equipped with an additional booster that increases mobility. The additional booster itself is equipped onto the core fighter, and the additional booster can even be used in the core fighter state.
While it has excellent acceleration and top speed, it lacks the flexible joints used in the Universal Boost Pod, and is inferior to the GP01 Full Burnern in terms of attitude control, mobility, and maneuverability. The large beam saber additionally equipped to the core fighter can also be used as a beam cannon.
Armaments[]
- 60mm Vulcan Gun
- Beam Saber
- Large Beam Saber/Beam Cannon
- Beam Rifle
- Hyper Bazooka
- Shield
Special Equipment & Features[]
- The Engage Gundam features a core block system that allows the cockpit and main engines to eject in the form of a fighter plane, preserving the pilot's life and vital combat data.
History[]
As the RX-78GP00 Gundam "Blossom" was selected as the winner of the trials for Gundam Development Project, the RX-78GPZ01 Engage Gundam was never constructed and it, and its variants like the Engage Gundam Booster Equipment, only existed on paper.

Notes & Trivia[]
- Although concept art shows it with two beam sabers at the back of the shoulders, they are missing from the Engage Gundam Booster Equipment's 3D model in U.C. ENGAGE, though the points at which they would attach appear to be there.
