MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane (MSAM-033 ガンダム G-アルケイン, MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane^?) is a mobile suit featured in the Gundam Reconguista in G anime series. It is primarily piloted by Aida Surugan.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

One of the G-Series and a transformable mobile suit built by the Amerian Army based on their Hermes Rose blueprints. Due to a difference in technological capabilities, the G-Arcane is an inferior replication of the blueprints. As a result, the Amerian Army only applies the photon frame to the head unit instead of the whole body. As a result, it is incompatible with most of the equipment packs developed by the Amerian Army. Despite this, the G-Arcane is still a high performance mobile suit, and the skirt-like booster on its hip is capable of sustained atmospheric flight and can transform to increase its speed.

After the Megafauna's trip to the Venus Globe, the G-Arcane is upgraded with the Full Dress equipment using VGMM-Gb03 Gaeon's spare parts taken from the G-IT Laboratory. The Full Dress equipment replaces the booster with a large battery pack and a set of binders. Photon balancers are also attached to the G-Arcane's head.

Armaments

• Head Vulcan

• Beam Saber

A close combat weapon that uses heavy metal particles similar to a beam rifle. By converging mega particles in a specific magnetic field, it functions as a blade. Although it appears thin, it boasts high cutting power.

• Beam Wire

Built into the gauntlet, it is stored by winding into a reel-like unit. The wire part is emitted while irradiating a beam, it glows, and can be used like a whip.

• Anti-Ship Rifle

The main armament of the G-Arcane. Despite its incredible firepower, the anti-ship rifle is large and heavy, making it unwieldy and not suited for use against other mobile suits. The rifle can emit a beam along its barrel to be used as a large beam sword, but this mode consumes a large amount of energy, and therefore only lasts for a short period of time.

• Beam Rifle

• Shield

Equipped with the Sensor Burner. The shield itself can be considered a weapon. It also doubles as a thruster in emergencies.

• Sensor Burner

Built into the shield, it can scorch the sensors of enemy mobile suits with a diffuse laser or defend against beam attacks.

• Laser Beam Gun

Special Equipment & Features

• BPAM-05 Assault Pack
