GM Guard Custom

Over the course of the One Year War, the Federation created variations of the GM Sniper Custom to be outfitted for specific roles. The GM Sniper Custom was revamped into several designs, one of them being the RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom. The GM Guard Custom is designed to protect the main battleship. The GM Guard Custom retains the "face guard" visor over its standard sensors. GM Guard Custom adds a pair of beam daggers and vulcan guns on the shoulder. The most notable feature is its large Guardian Shield, used for defense.''The RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom is another variation of the GM. Based on the GM Sniper Custom, its another high-performance variation of the GM deployed onto the defense of friendly fleet and military facilities''

The GM Guard Custom's shield has about half the HP as the GP02A's, however it is still far more durable than most other shields, and as a "Guards" Custom, the shield should be used to tank damage for allies.The GM Guard Custom also has a similar melee pattern to the GM Sniper Custom, but with a shorter range as it uses a handheld dagger as opposed to a forearm mounted saber, and it can attack up to three times thanks to the Melee Controller LV2 skill.
