The MSA-008 (RGM-87) BR-GM is a mass-produced mobile suit introduced in the manga Under the Gundam: Double-Fake.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

With the end of the Gryps Conflict and dissolution of the Titans, the Earth Federation initially scheduled the retirement of the RMS-154 Barzam units that survived. However, due the Barzam's excellent performance, the Earth Federation Forces sought to utilize the remaining machines and they were converted into the BR-GM. To avoid associating with the Titans, the BR-GM was modified to have a GM-type look. Additionally, it features many components from the mainstay Federation and AEUG MS at the time, such as the RGM-86R GM III, drastically changing its looks from the original Barzam. The BR-GM was also put into limited mass production, and formally adopted as the MSA-008/RGM-87.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Rifle
The standard ranged armament of many mobile suits, the particle beam fired from a beam rifle can penetrate almost any armor not treated with specific counter-measures.
  • Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating.
  • Bazooka
A portable firearm that launches rocket. Despite the relatively slow speed of the bazooka's rockets, they have sufficient destructive power to deal critical damages to a mobile suit.
  • Long Blade Rifle
The same portable firearm as used by the ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5. This beam rifle is equipped with a heat blade under its long barrel and can be used for close combat.
  • Shield
A model of shield similar to the one used by MSA-003 Nemo. It appears to have a curved surface and sharp edges at the top.

History[]

The BR-GM was known to have been deployed in U.C. 0090 by Earth Federation Forces to resist an attack by the anti-Earth Federation militant group Colorde on Texas Colony at Side 5.

Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula[]

In U.C. 0115, a BR-GM piloted by Gideon Brondan, and accompanied by a AMS-119 Lehr Doga, assisted the Earth Federation Forces' Fastest Formula Corps to fend off Zeon Remnants's heavily modified AMA-01X Jamru Fin near Side 2 Amelia. The BR-GM also rescued a defecting MS-06 Zaku II piloted by Dir Rider and helped to drove away the remaining enemy forces.[1]

In U.C. 0116, a BR GM and several mobile suits were involved in an incident at the Side 1 Colony Bhara and they were defeated by the Fastest Formula Corps.[2]

Variants[]

  • RGM-87C2 BR-GM
