Gaplant "Fiver" Core-Unit

[Kirbykun]

Gaplant "Fiver" Core-Unit

Founded on 2Chan. On the Gaplant notably is the Drum-frame Arm replace
by the shield booster and the Long Blade Rifle attach to the crouch port
by a movable frame in an exact fashion as the Beam Smart Gun mount on the Ex-S Gundam.
( I got this feeling that the TR-6 might actually be that big guy
as toydreams suggest )

On the left side is an explanation for the Fiver’s Winch Unit. The text say
it compose of an Hrududu nose sensor, Winch Unit and the Grip.
The Winch Unit itself contain two small nozzle so the whole unit
can be operate by itself. But the Winch has an opening on the Hrududu
connecters so it can mount the shield booster as an extra protection
and thruster.

The picture at the bottom right is particularly interesting, Hrududu Winch Unit Mounted,
it says. The back of the Hrududu equip with the Winch Unit.
That’s a Hambrabi references .

I KNEW those Shield Boosters were related to the Gaplant! Great Find! Do we have any pictures of it in its normal MS Form?

[ninjascience]

see also the Fiver thread with some pics of the model, those should be moved here me thinks.

also, the very bottom of the page cuts off a caption about the Hrududu w/ Winch unit, I can see the very edge of a hrududu wing unit there, perhaps this winch unit is used in the "smooth docking" we know will be involved in the TR-6?

The lack of beam cannons on the tip of those shield boosters were compensated with a long blade rifle, nice variation! Maybe you can exchange the shield booster with the one from Advanced Hazel, or the missile launcher version from TR-5 Fiver.

where do these pages come from? I bought the latest issue of advance of zeta and there are almost no pages about the gaplant...

[ninjascience]

The Advance of Zeta books are just compilations of what is released every month in Dengeki Hobby Magazine.

This suit looks really good. Does anyone have scans of its pages in July's Dengenki?

This was linked over in the Fiver thread and I was just curious if anyone can get larger images so we can get a better look.

[Bazookafied]

Whoa... never noticed that! Finally! The Fiver in its normal MS Mode! You're right, Odin, we need those images!

[ninjascience]

we only have what's in the first post in this thread. In a week or so though, I'll be getting that DHM from my local Kinokuniya and then we'll have nice crisp scans of both the new chunky Rosettes and the Fiver "Core Unit".

[Bazookafied]

If I recall correctly, there were wire-guided shields on the Fiver in its enhanced MA and MS form. Do the shields on this have the same use?

[Master P Rayer]

I think this one(i'm talking about the shield) is the normal one, i can't see any aditional parts resembling wire-guided launching device.

I talked with ninjascience earlier in trying to get good shots, but I don't have a scanner. This is the best I could do. I guess NS will get us some good scans later, but in case there are those who would like to see a bit more...

Even without a scanner, those are pretty good! Thanks for the scans Sandrum!

Looks like they're explaining the connection between the Hrududu and the Fiver? Or maybe this is about the wire-guided shields? I know the TTT Gaplant doesn't have them on the sides, but perhaps this is explaining a Hrududu with wire guided tech.

[ninjascience]

sweetness! you rock man. I love the Fujioka illustration of the original
Gaplant. Looks like the winch unit on the Hrududu launch just the sensor nose? not sure what the point of that is.

[Odin]

Awesome pics, sandrum. The Gaplant is one of my favorite Zeta suits and I really like its AoZ design. Perhaps that's because the core unit doesn't really depart much from the suit's original design.

Does the core unit have any form of melee weapons or does its Long Blade Rifle fulfill both roles? I mean, since it's a test unit, and the unit is meant to be tested using the Fiver, I'd be inclined to think it is lacking beam sabers or something of the like. Does it say anything on any of the scanned pages?
