The RGC-83 GM Cannon II (Lucien Bendt Use) is a variant mobile suit of the RGC-83 GM Cannon II. It first appeared in the novel Advance of Zeta: The Traitor to Destiny.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The GM Cannon II (Lucien Bendt Use) is heavier armed than its predecessors. It is equipped with two shoulder-mounted beam cannons, and a modified 90 mm GM rifle as well as a beam saber for close combat. It also includes two 60 mm vulcan guns mounted in the head, but these are usually strictly last-resort weapons. To power this strong weapons the GM Cannon II has a stronger reactor. It is also very heavily armored, featuring Chobham armor based of the same design as the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex". The left arm has two Heat Hawk attached for close-range combat. However, it pays the price for this durability with very low speed and mobility. A GM Cannon II on its own has been shown to not be able to fend for itself due to opponents being able to outmaneuver it, unless its opponent also lacks speed.

Armaments

• 60 mm vulcan gun

A standard armament of the mobile suits that are descended from the Earth Federation Forces's RX series is a pair of head mounted 60mm vulcan guns. These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but have little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors.

• Beam Cannon

The primary weapons of the GM Cannon II are a pair of mega-particle firing beam cannons mounted on the backpack. Mega-particles are fed to the beam cannons by the two large drum-like E-Caps mounted below them on the backpack.

• 90mm GM rifle

The 90mm GM rifle is one of several optional ranged armaments that the Earth Federation regularly equipped their GM mobile suits with. Though not as powerful as the beam spray gun the 90mm GM rifle has greater range.
