Machine Concept
While appearing similar to the standard Late Production Type, this Johnny Ridden custom is a specialized Raid unit. It compensates for class disadvantages with the Damage Reduction From General Type skill and features superior movement speed and melee priority.
The hallmark of this machine is the Space Mobile Shooting skill, allowing it to fire its primary Bazooka at high speeds without decelerating. This enables the pilot to strike and reposition to safety before the enemy can react, embodying the "Lightning" moniker.

Sub-Weapon: MMP-78 Machine Gun (GN) [#008]
A modified sub-weapon version of the MMP-78. While individual bullet power is halved compared to the main version, the firing rate is doubled (8 rounds/sec), maintaining consistent DPS and making it easier to accumulate stagger on enemy units in a short window.
Reduces hit reactions when the shield part is struck by shooting attacks. Unlike standard shields, damage is subtracted directly from MS HP, but it prevents stagger, ensuring the machine's aggressive momentum isn't halted.
Space Mobile Shooting [D-Skill #013]
Enables certain shooting weapons to be used during high-speed movement. Combined with Maneuver Armor, it allows for "bazooka-and-run" tactics in space, significantly increasing the difficulty for enemies to land a counter-attack.
