The KUMA-03 Beargguy III is a custom mobile suit appearing in Gundam Build Fighters and is a variant of the GPB-04B Beargguy. Its Modeller and Pilot is China Kousaka
Technology & Combat Characteristics
China's customized gunpla, it is a modified HG GPB-04B Beargguy. Since China is in the art club, her painting skill is high, giving it an elegant and cute look. The Beargguy III lacks any mounted thrusters in general, and can only rely on its movements on the ground. Like the original Beargguy, Beargguy III also has 3 mounted beam cannons and 2 extendable arms. However, the beam cannons are placed in somewhat different locations and are capable of generating a beam saber each. The Beargguy's landcell unit is also replaced by a hardpoint connector that is hidden by the butterfly ribbon on Beargguy III's back.
Despite having versatile weaponry and the ability to equip different backpacks, the Beargguy III is more like a Gunpla made for display, therefore some features which isn't necessarily for battle could be found on it, such as the ability to change its eye expression mid-battle. Also, due to its unique setting of "a stuffed toy becoming a robot", China, having a much different perspective about Gunpla, actually filled the Gunpla with cotton, resulting in unexpected outcomes during its battle with SD Knight Gundam. These unexpected outcomes would in turn motivate Sei to think out of the box when building the GAT-X105B/ST Star Build Strike Gundam.
