The CB-0000G/C/T Reborns Gundam Origin (aka Reborns Gundam Origin) is a transformable Mobile Suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V and was piloted by Ribbons Almark.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The prototype of the CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam, the CB-0000G/C/T Reborns Gundam Origin is the Reborn Gundam's original form before the installation of the Twin Drive System and other modifications.[1][2][3][4] The Reborns Gundam Origin was developed for Ribbons Almark, the leader of a group of Innovades who called themselves Innovators, and was based on the general-purpose CB-001 1 Gundam and its support-use, artillery combat counterpart, the CBY-077 GN Cannon.[2][3][4][5] Both mobile suits were developed a decade ago for a plan where Innovades served as the Gundam Meisters for Celestial Being's armed interventions, but this plan was dropped by the quantum processing system, Veda, in favor of a competing plan where human beings served as Meisters.[1][2][6][7] The Reborns Gundam Origin not only combined the functions of 1 Gundam and GN Cannon into a single machine, it also incorporated a long-range attack form.[1][2][3][4]

As Ribbons did not want to rely on others, the Reborns Gundam was designed as an all-range mobile suit that could engage in combat at short, medium, and long-range by transforming into the appropriate form.[1][2][3][4] The Reborns Gundam Origin had three different forms: a Gundam Mode (also known as MS Mode) for short-range combat that was based on the 1 Gundam, a Cannon Mode for medium-range combat that was based on the GN Cannon, and a Tank Mode that specialized in long-range artillery attack.[1][2][3] The mobile suit could instantly switch between Gundam Mode and Cannon Mode by turning around, and this transformation mechanism as well as the mobile suit's basic structure was inherited by the Reborns Gundam.[1][2][3] To transform into Tank Mode, the Reborns Gundam Origin folds its body and adopts a horizontal configuration.[1][2][3][4] This transformation was also instantaneous, with the switch from Cannon Mode to Tank Mode taking less than 1 second to complete.[1][2][3]

The Tank Mode could move in the air and operate in space, it also had excellent mobility due to the four hover units on the Reborns Gundam Origin's arms and waist.[1][2][3][4] The Tank Mode's head was equipped with special long-range sensors that provided its pilot with detailed information of distant areas in the frontal direction.[1][2][3] As a result, the pilot would feel that his field of view had broaden when operating the Tank Mode.[1][2] These sensors could also be used by the Cannon Mode as the two modes shared the same head.[1][2] The Reborns Gundam Origin's armaments consisted of two GN Buster Rifles, two Large GN Beam Sabers, two Egner Whips, and four Large GN Fin Fangs, of which two Large GN Fin Fangs served as the front section of the GN Buster Rifles.[1][2][3][4] In Tank Mode, the Large GN Fin Fangs and GN Buster Rifles functioned as four powerful main cannons with firing range that exceeded ordinary ranged beam weaponry.[1][2][4]

The Reborns Gundam Origin was manufactured in the factory within the mothership Celestial Being, and initially went by the name of Reborns Gundam.[1][2] Its name was changed later to differentiate it from the final Twin Drive System-equipped version.[1][2][3] Additionally, the installation of the Twin Drive System resulted in the removal of the Tank Mode and associated hover units, with the Cannon Mode taking over the Tank Mode's role.[1][2][3][8] The Reborns Gundam Origin also lacked the Trans-Am System, which at the time of the mobile suit's development was limited only to mobile suits equipped with the original GN Drives.[1][2][3] The absence of the Trans-Am System caused Ribbons to deem this mobile suit as incomplete despite its satisfactory test results.[1][2] However, Ribbons believed it was only a matter of time before GN Drive Tau-powered mobile suits could use the Trans-Am System.[1][2]

Armaments[]

  • GN Buster Rifle
The Reborns Gundam Origin was equipped with a pair of GN Buster Rifles.[1][2][3][4] Each GN Buster Rifle featured a Large GN Fin Fang at the front, and a red-colored, bottom section that connected the rifle to the mobile suit's forearm.[1][2][3][4] In Gundam Mode, the Reborns Gundam Origin could hold onto the rifles' grips using its manipulators.[1][2] In Cannon Mode and Tank Mode, the rifles' grips were unused as the rifles' positions were changed, with their grips now behind the forearms.[1][2][3][4] Despite this, the Tank Mode had no problem firing the rifles,[1][2] and this was likely the case for the Cannon Mode.
  • Large GN Fin Fang
Besides the two Large GN Fin Fangs that served as the front section of the GN Buster Rifles, the Reborns Gundam Origin also had another two Large GN Fin Fangs on its back in Gundam Mode.[1][2][3][4] In Cannon Mode and Tank Mode, the latter two Large GN Fin Fangs were located on both sides of the chest and at the front of the mobile suit respectively.[1][2][3][4] The Reborns Gundam Origin's Large GN Fin Fangs heavily resembled those of the CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam. As suggested by their name, the four Large GN Fin Fangs could likely function as wireless-remote weaponry, similar to the Reborns Gundam's. In Tank Mode, the Large GN Fin Fangs and GN Buster Rifles functioned as four powerful main cannons.[1][2][3][4] In a test of the Tank Mode's artillery capability, the beams fired from these four cannons accurately destroyed a target located so far away that normally the compressed particles used in beams would have collapsed and turned into photons.[1][2][3][4] The Cannon Mode was able to use the two chest-mounted Large GN Fin Fangs as cannons,[1][2] and presumably could do the same for the two Large GN Fin Fangs at the front of the GN Buster Rifles.
  • Large GN Beam Saber
Like the Reborns Gundam, the Reborns Gundam Origin mounted two Large GN Beam Sabers on the red-colored armor sections above the back storage mounts of the Large GN Fin Fangs.[1][2][8] When used, the Large GN Beam Saber would be held in the mobile suit's manipulator and emit a beam blade to damage the target.[1][2] The Large GN Beam Sabers fold down into the red-colored armor sections in Cannon Mode and Tank Mode.[1][2]
  • Egner Whip
Also equipped by the Reborns Gundam, the left and right manipulators of the Reborns Gundam Origin's Cannon Mode could be launched as a pair of wire-guided Egner Whips.[1][2][3][8] These weaponry could deliver an electric shock to damage the internal precision equipment of enemy machine as well as to injure the enemy pilot.[8]

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Hover Unit
The four caterpillar treads-like parts at the bottom of the Tank Mode were actually hover units unique to the Reborns Gundam Origin.[1][2][3] Also known as 'GN Particle Hover Units', they were made of multiple GN Particle emission nozzles.[1][2][3][4] When used, these nozzles open at an angle to release GN Particles for propulsion.[1][2][3] The four hover units not only grant the Tank Mode with excellent mobility by enabling high-speed movements, they also allowed it to move in the air.[1][2][3][4] In Gundam Mode and Cannon Mode, two hover units were located on the arms and the other two on the waist.[1][2][3] During Gundam Mode, the arms' hover units could be used to make unexpected changes in trajectory.[1][2][3] The large amount of GN Particles consumed by the arms' hover units were supplied through the GN Cords, as well as drawn from their own built-in large GN Condensers.[1][2][3] For the waist's hover units, they were equipped with shield wings at the sides to protect vulnerable parts during the mobile suit's transformation.[1][2][3] The four hover units were removed together with the Tank Mode when the Reborns Gundam Origin was modified into the Reborns Gundam.[3]

History[]

Mobile Suit Gundam 00V Vol.023 CB-0000G/C/T Reborns Gundam Origin[]

One of the Innovades created by Veda, Ribbons Almark was originally supposed to pilot a Gundam as a Gundam Meister. However, Ribbons knew that being a Meister meant that he would have to die one day. In other words, he would be fighting for his own destruction. Furthermore, it was for the goal of "guiding human beings to become Innovators", which he regarded as irrational since he viewed humans as foolish. Ribbons rebelled against his destiny and succeeded. It was decided that Gundam Meisters would be selected from among human beings, and with this, Ribbons seemingly escaped from his fate of being destroyed. Even so, Ribbons did not relax, and started working on his own customized Gundam.

The end result was a mobile suit capable of handling combat at any ranges, covering short, medium, and long-range all by itself. Ribbons did not want to rely on others, and believed that one should create their own destiny. Using his own name, he named the mobile suit as "Reborns Gundam" (the mobile suit was yet to be renamed into Reborns Gundam Origin at this point in time). Ribbons then piloted the Gundam and headed out of the mothership Celestial Being to test the mobile suit in space. Even though this was the mobile suit's first test, Ribbons was not worried at all. He did not foresee any unexpected events, and even if something happened, Ribbons was confident he could handle it accordingly, as he always has.

Ribbons tested the medium-range Cannon Mode first and successfully destroyed an asteroid set as the target. Ribbons then switched from Cannon Mode to the long-range Tank Mode, and this was completed in less than 1 second. As the mobile suit transformed into Tank Mode, Ribbons noticed that his field of view broadened. He quickly realized this was an illusion created by the Tank Mode's special sensor functions, which provided him with detailed data of distant space regions in front of him. Ribbons remarked that it seemed as if he had the entire space region before him in his grasp. He then began testing the Tank Mode's artillery capability. The Tank Mode fired and accurately destroyed the distant target, which was so far away that normally the compressed particles used in the beams would collapse and become photons. Ribbons was happy at the outcome.

Although his Gundam passed all the tests, Ribbons still regarded it as incomplete. This was because the original GN Drive's Trans-Am System was yet to be reproduced, but Ribbons felt it was only a matter of time before this system could be reproduce using the GN Drive Tau. With this, his Gundam would become the strongest Gundam. A question then suddenly surfaced in Ribbons's mind: he avoided a future where he would die as a Gundam Meister, so why prepare for battle now? Especially since defeat and destruction are among the possible outcomes… With a smirk, Ribbons squashed the doubt in his mind. He reasoned that he was simply overly cautious, and that being prepared for battle was not a bad thing. After all, there was nothing in this world that could possibly threaten him.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00I Chapter 13[]

After Regene Regetta was awakened by Telicyra Herfi to be one of the six comrades, he gained the special ability to control both the original GN Drives and the GN Drive Taus. Regene then imagined using this ability on the Reborns Gundam Origin and the GN-0000 00 Gundam, claiming that both Celestial Being and Ribbons would now have to bow before his power. However, when Regene put the other comrades in harm's way for his own agenda, he was removed from the group, losing his special ability and memories of the event.
