The WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer is a mobile suit introduced in the Asemu Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. A custom unit is piloted by Woolf Enneacle.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer, like the RGE-G1100 Adele, is one of the new generation of mass production mobile suits.[1][2] It is a modified version of a mobile suit model that lost the competition for mass production to the Adele.[3] The G-Bouncer utilized a basic frame that referenced the structure of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal, but it omitted the wear system and instead has a permanent speed focused high mobility configuration based on the AGE-1S Gundam AGE-1 Spallow.[1][4]
Its backpack is equipped with a pair of binders, each containing one normal thruster and two retractable thrusters.[1][4] Thanks to these binders, the G-Bouncer acquired speed and mobility exceeding those of the AGE-1 Spallow.[1] The G-Bouncer's mobility is said to be comparable to that of the Vagan's X-Rounder-use mobile suits.[1] It is thus unsurprising that the G-Bouncer was used as the basis for developing the Earth Federation's own X-Rounder-use mobile suits, such as the G-Bouncer Deos and XMS-005 Thieleva.[1][2][4]
The G-Bouncer is mainly assigned to team leaders and veteran pilots, with one such pilot, Woolf Enneacle, using a unit painted in his personal white color and equipped with a custom shield that has a removable Shiguru Blade.[1][2][4] Other weapons of the G-Bouncer included a DODS Rifle, and a pair of Beam Sabers.[1][2][4] The letter "G" in its name is attached by Woolf himself, and this makes it easy for it to be mistaken as a machine from the WMS-GEX1 G-Exes lineage when it is actually an unrelated unit.[1][4]
Armaments[]
- DODS Rifle
- A dedicated DODS Rifle for G-Bouncer, it is a simplified and lighter version of the AGE-1's rifle.[1][2] It also has enhanced sensor and reduced recoil, with a slim form due to the removal of the precision firing mode.[1] It can be stored on rear waist when not in use.[4]
- Beam Saber
- The G-Bouncer's close combat armament, two are stored in the side skirt armor and they emit a beam blade during use.[4]
- Shield
- A customized defensive armament used by Woolf Enneacle's G-Bouncer, its appearance was designed to match Woolf's nickname of "White Wholf".[1][2][4] Besides being able to block physical and beam attacks, it has a Shiguru Blade for close combat.
History[]
The most notable G-Bouncer was a white colored unit piloted by Woolf Enneacle in A.G. 141, although there were other G-Bouncers within the Earth Federation forces.
