The ovm-gd Glud is a Vagan mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Cosmic Drive/Universe Accel video game and the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE -UNKNOWN SOLDIERS- side stories.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Like the ovv-af Danazine and ovm-lce Reganner, the Glud is developed for use on Earth but it is produce much later than them and only make it in time to participate in the final battle in space. It is a commander use, anti-stronghold, heavy mobile suit that is equipped with heavy weaponry and mounts large thrusters all over its body to compensate for its weight. It is also a rare Earth-use Vagan mobile suit that still maintains a humanoid shape, and this is done to maintain the soldier's morale. In terms of weaponry, it is armed with beam vulcans/beam sabers on each hands, a beam cannon built into its tail, a chest-mounted beam buster and missile launchers on its legs and booster packs that fire homing missiles equipped with X-Rounder bit technology. It can also use the Khronos Gun or Jilsbain Gun.

Armament

• Beam Vulcan/Beam Saber

A small beam gun built into each palm, it has a high rate of fire and is capable of destroying mobile suits. This is a common weapon for Vagan MS, and a beam saber can be emitted from the gun's muzzle for close combat.

• Glud Cannon

A long-range beam rifle built into the Glud's tail that can be positioned under either shoulders or in between the legs when in use, it possesses the power to destroy most mobile suits in one shot.

• Beam Buster

Mounted in the chest, it fires a powerful beam with destructive power that exceeds that of a standard beam rifle.

• Missile Launcher

Mounted in the legs and rear booster packs, these missile launchers fire homing missiles that are equipped with a beam bit warhead that is derived from X-Rounder bit technology. However, the missiles' homing capabilities still rely on conventional technologies.

• Khronos Gun

A hand-carried, five-barreled beam gun originally wielded by the xvm-dgc Khronos, it has a high rate of fire and can generate a beam saber for close combat.

• Jilsbain Gun

A hand-carried beam gun originally wielded by the xvm-zgc Jilsbain, it is based on the Zeydra's beam gun. It has a moderate rate of fire and can generate a beam saber for close combat.

History

The Glud saw combat during the final battle of La Gramis. During this battle, Vagan’s battle plan actually has 2 phases. The 1st phase involves securing a path to Earth and the 2nd phase is another round of Earth invasion. The Glud was supposed to be deployed in the 2nd phase but as the plan never get out of phase 1, the landing forces were ordered to deploy near the end of the battle.

Variants

• Armo Glud
