NRX-010 Gable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a fictional weapon from the After War timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries.

In the series Gundam X, the Gable was an experimental mobile suit, developed to be the “ultimate heavy armored” unit. The Gable was bigger and heavier than normal mobile suits, its armor was extremely thick and it also had a pair of beam deflection field generators in it shoulders. With them the Gable could absorb and deflect any beam weapon fire. Because of its weight, the Gable could not carry any weapons and thus relied on its limbs to smash enemies. Because of its unique design, this unit was never mass produced but the prototype was assigned to the Frost brothers, who used them at the Southern Asia front.

The Frost brothers assigned the psychotic adrenaline junkie Milra Draido to be the pilot of the Gable to destroy the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X. Draido happily accepted and started a fight with Garrod’s Double X and Witz Sou’s GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst. The Freeden pilots were not able to heavily damage the Gable with their beam weapons, but then Roybea Loy attacked with his GT-9600 Gundam Leopard, which was heavily equipped with conventional weapons. Using these weapons at extremely close range, Roybea was able to destroy the Gable and kill Draido at the cost of heavily damaging his Gundam.
