The G-Sky Easy is an alternate configuration of the G-Sky in Mobile Suit Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The G-Sky Easy is formed by combining the FF-X7 Core Fighter with the B-Parts of the G-Fighter, omitting the lower body of the RX-78-2 Gundam that is used in the standard G-Sky configuration. This allows Core Fighters from the RX-77-2 Guncannon or RX-75-4 Guntank to access the benefits of the G-Sky form. Like the regular G-Sky, the G-Sky Easy retains all of the armaments of the Core Fighter and B-Parts.

Armaments

• 25mm Vulcan Gun

Two pairs of vulcan guns were mounted in the nose of the Core Fighter. While essentially ineffective against mobile suits' armor, they were useful for combat against other aircraft, intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and attacking lightly-armored vehicles.

• 4-Shot Anti-Ship Missile Launcher

An anti-ship missile launcher was mounted on each side of the Core Fighter's main body. They had an open-hatched design and rise out of the recess when in use. Each launcher was initially equipped with only a single air-to-air missile, but was later upgraded with four missiles each.

• AIM-79 Air-to-Air Missile

The two missile launchers were loaded with AIM-79 air-to-air missiles, which were used for bombardment or attacking heavily armored enemies that the vulcans were incapable of damaging.

• AIM-77D Air-to-Air Missile

An AIM-77D air-to-air missile could optionally be mounted on each wing via pylons, improving the Core Fighter's air-to-air combat capabilities.

• 4-Tube Missile Launcher

A retractable 4-tube missile launcher was mounted at the rear of the G-Fighter, below the main thrusters.

History

G-Sky Easy was seen only once during the Federation's Operation Odessa, when Hayato Kobayashi combined his Core Fighter with the B-Parts after his Guntank was disabled.
