GM Striker

The GM Striker ( ジム・ストライカー) is a mobile suit that specializes in head to head melee combat. Unlike the GM Light Armor, its primary function is to help relieve pressure on the front lines. It's been upgraded with additional armor without sacrificing speed. Visually, you can see the reactive armor plates that have been equipped to the front of the shoulders, chest, shin, and groin. Canonically, these reactive armor pates allow of rate mobile suit to get close while protecting its vital areas. However in-game the reactive armor serves no function. Its melee weapon is the Twin Beam Spear that has significantly more reach and is more powerful than a traditional Beam Saber.

The Striker's DEF values begin relatively even, but as you continue develop this suit, the rate of increase for Melee DEF far outpaces both Beam and Bullet types. It also begins with much more HP than the GM Light Armor, making it capable of taking several more hits while moving in for melee combat. The ranged weapon selection is limited to either the 100mm or 90mm version of the Machine Gun, in addition to the head-mounted Vulcan Cannons. The Striker's pre-game lobby icon is a red GM Kai head with the letters "FP" in the bottom left corner.
