Gabthley (Added on June 04, 2020 Update)

Hello. Today, I will talk about the "Gabthley" added to "Supply Drop". 600 costs. General-Type. You can sortie both Space/Ground. It is an MS that has the ability to transform. Main weapons are weapons that combine shooting attack and melee attack as initial equipment, standard melee attack weapons, beam weapons equipped on both shoulders. Head Vulcan. Transformed (MA) weapons have the same shape, but have different heat gauges and abilities. Counting all these, the "Gabthley" has eight weapons. I think "Gabthley (hereafter GAB)" is a unit adjusted based on "Z-Gundam (hereafter Z-G)" of the same cost.

Let's compare GAB and Z-G beam rifles (main weapons) and secondary weapons. 

The Z-G beam rifle (main weapon) is a normal reload type with a number of bullets, and the GAB type is a heat gauge type that a focused beam can shoot. The Z-G rifle has a "stun" hit effect, and the GAB rifle has a "stun" hit effect only on focused beams. 

The Z-G secondary weapon is a grenade and has a "stun" for multiple hit effects, while the GAB secondary weapon has two beams that require it to stop when attacking, but the hit effect has a "stun".

As a comprehensive evaluation, "GAB" seems to fall short of "Z-G" in terms of ease of handling, straightforward mobility, and turning performance.

So what are the strengths and characteristics of "GAB"? It will be an attack performance that mixes "transformation state" and "normal state". However, there is "Asshimar (hereafter referred to as ASH)" in the transformed unit with combat ability. Relatively, "GAB" does not have good turning performance in the transformed state. So, it seems appropriate to say that "ASH" is the leading person in combat ability that makes full use of the transformation state.

"GAB" is designed to fight with multiple melee attack weapons by reducing the distance from the enemy by shooting attacks in a transformed state.

First, "GAB" uses his "High Performance Radar Lv2" skill to catch enemies at long distances. It then restrains the enemy while approaching with a "transforming shooting attack" that uses a large amount of "Thrusters". Finally it destroys enemies with multiple melee attacks. "Anti-Blast Stabilizer" prevents "Explosion of destroyed MS" that occurs at this time.

If the skill is set with the above intention, it may be good to describe it as a long-range surprise attack type that moves very long distances.

It is understandable to think that the basic performance that is difficult to raise is being extended at the cost of lowering the basic performance that is difficult to lower with rough low turning performance and large amount of thrusters. No, I'm not satisfied, but it's a little better than just saying it's difficult to use.

It may be because GAB of GBO2 has a slightly modest combat ability because GAB has various unique mobile attacks in different games and video media. 

I don't think I understand all of the units that just appeared, so it's possible that today's bad reputation is well received the next day. In the first place, it's excellent in terms of molding (I think I always say it), so I still want it. But after all, the transition to the transformation state is very cool.
