Fictional Story:
YMS-15x [adv] or the Gyan Advanced was a part of a modernizing effort of the remaining Zeon forces to apply the performance of its latest mobile suits with its aging mobile suit inventory. In this case, spare Sinanju parts. Due to limited funds, retrofitting a Gyan was deemed more affordable than developing completely new units.
A unique feature of the Gyan Advanced are its funnel tech. It was equipped believing that it would solve the Gyan's lack of effective ranged beamed weaponry. Additionally, its upgraded thrusters would allow the Gyan new pinnacles of speed and maneuverability.
Gyan Advanced was the 2nd of 10 units selected for the program largely due to the Zeon wanting to honor Col. M'Quve, the Gyan's original developer. The result is a powerful multi-role unit. However, the complete fall of Zeon eventually led to the abandonment of the program.
Armaments:
6x - Funnels
5x - Beam Sabers
1x - High Power Beam Lance
1x - Missile Shield
2x - 3 Barrel 35mm Machine Gun (Arm Mounted)
2x - 75mm Beam Gatling Gun (Back Mounted)
his is my first try at building the Gyan. It was an attractive challenge simply because of the kits unpopularity. The result is that it's rare to find custom builds. It's strange design was also a point of attraction giving lots of room for my imagination. This version uses Sinanju legs and torso. The weapons comes from the Gouf Custom. The backpack is a modified Hi Mobility Zaku 2 with Kotobukiya parts. Essentially, the original concept of the GyanAdvanced was to simply create an updated look of the mobile suit.
