The GNW-100P Gundam Portent (aka G-Portent) is a mobile suit from Gundam Build Fighters Try.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

An original Gunpla built by Shia Kijima, it is created in the image of the Gundams used by Celestial Being. It is built with parts from the GN-001 Gundam Exia among others, and its build quality is on par with the other two Gunplas used by team Celestial Sphere. In fact, Coach Allan describes it as 'perfect'. Due to Shia's excellent control skills, the Gundam Portent can fight in ways that no other Gunplas can. For example, it can touch missiles lightly without detonating them and can render enemy's beam attack harmless using a particle transformation field. The latter can also be deployed as a barrier against enemy attacks. Weapon wise, it is equipped with a pair of GN Beam Sabers, a GN Smash Rifle and a GN Pierce Sword. The suit's most unique equipment is the container on the back of the waist. This container stores Haros for repairing the suit or its teammates during battle.

Armaments

• GN Smash Rifle

A custom beam rifle used by Gundam Portent.

• GN Pierce Sword

The suit's main handheld close combat weapon, it can emit a whip-like beam blade to increase its reach and slice apart its target.

• GN Beam Saber

A sword-like beam weapon that serve as the suit's secondary close combat weapon, a pair of them are stored on the rear skirt armor in a manner similar to that of the Gundam Astraea.

Special Equipment and Features

• Particle Transformation Field

A special field that allows the suit to slide on enemy's beam harmlessly. This field can also be deployed as a particle-based barrier like the GN Field for blocking enemy's attack.

• Container

Mounted on the rear waist, it stores several Karels and Haros for repairing the suit and possibly its teammates as well.

• Portent Flyer

• Repair Unit

Stored in the container on the rear waist, G-Portent has many repair units in the form of Karels. Some of the Karels contained a Haro, possibly to act as the Karels leader and for handling work/repair that require more delicate touches. These Karels are used for performing emergency repairs, which allow the G-Portent to recover from otherwise fatal attacks by repairing damaged sections.

Notes & Trivia

• This Gunpla shares many similarities with the GNW-100A Sakibure, including overall design, placement of translucent parts, use and placement of wings, forehead and top-of-the-head design, and possessing two-pronged heels. Even its model number is only differed by one letter. However, the official site which usually state the Gunpla's base unit did not list any such unit for G-Portent.
  • Ironically, the Sakibure never received a release as a Gunpla kit, so if this is true and unless such a kit was produced within the Build Fighters universe, this unit would be a scratch-built Gunpla.
  • Alternatively, it may be considered as using a base Gunpla that has similar structures to create a different Gunpla (or even one that is merely inspired by) that does not or will not have an official release. In the real world, this is typically done using Gunpla with similar designs and structures, such as using ∀ Gundam for the head and torso of Devil Gundam Junior, or using the Silver Bullet to build Gundam Mk-V.
• Although episode 16 shows two boxes of the HG 1/144 Gundam Exia on Shia's working table, it is unknown if the G-Portent was created using only these Exia kits or if she only needed certain parts to complete the Gunpla.
• The maintenance robots stored in the Portent Flyer are strikingly similar to Karel from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, although the latter is smaller in size comparison.
