Revision as of 12:25, 23 October 2011

"UC" is not in the list (After Colony, Anno Domini, Advanced Generation, After War, Build Fighters, Correct Century, Cosmic Era, Future Century, Gunpla Builders, Mars Century, ...) of allowed values for the "Era" property.

The RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom is a variant of the mass production RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom. It first appears as a part of the MSV-R line.

Combat Characteristics

Over the course of the One Year War, the Federation created variations of the GM Sniper Custom to be outfitted for specific roles. The GM Sniper Custom was revamped into several designs, one of them being the RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom. The GM Guard Custom is designed to protect the main battleship. The GM Guard Custom retains the "face guard" visor over its standard sensors. GM Guard Custom also uses a box beam saber like the one used by GM Sniper Custom but adds a pair of beam daggers and vulcan guns on the head and shoulder. The most notable feature is its large Guardian Shield, used for defense. However, the Guardian Shield is very heavy, making the max gross weight of the GM Guard Custom over 90 tons (compared to GM Sniper Custom's 75.3 tons) and thus lacking maneuverability. As such, the GM Guard Custom is often seen working in conjuction with the RGM-79KC GM Interceptor Custom.

Armaments

  • Box Beam Saber/Beam Dagger
Similar to GM Sniper Custom, GM Guard Custom has single beam saber attach to its forearm for close combat. In addition, GM Guard Custom also has pair of beam dagger.
  • Beam Spray Gun
The standard armament of the RGM-79 GM. GM Guard Custom can hold two of this weapon on its waist.
  • Guardian Shield
This giant shield can cover most of GM guard Custom body and has five layers of beam coating, made it very effective against beam weapon. It also has pair of built-in vulcan gun.

History

The RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom first appeared in the One Year War along with Shimoda's RGM-79GC GM Sniper Custom Squadron and a RGC-80S GM Cannon Space Attack battling a squad of Zaku IIs and Doms.
