Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers and if any, marking decals and/or painted details.
If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts – can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

Armaments
Compo GUND-BIT Shield
This was a shield employing GUND-BIT, a next generation remote-controlled swarm weapon system. It had anti-beam field properties.
Bit Stave
The Bits that could separate from the shield were called Bit Staves, which were weapons that adopted thrust vectoring nozzles, posture control thrusters, and built-in beam cannons. These functions could be used to perform various three-dimensional offensive and defensive maneuvers.
Receiver Gun
This was a portable firearm for this MS, it could rapid-fire beams. When not in use it could be stored on the center backpack mount.
Beam Blade
The Receiver Gun can also be used as a Beam Blade by generating a massive beam edge (Blade On).
GUND-BIT Rifle
Bit Staves could also be attached to the front and back of the weapon to upgrade it into the GUND-BIT Rifle, which unlocked a high output beam firing mechanism.
Beam Saber
These were portable close combat weapons standardly equipped on mobile suits. They were usually mounted on top of the backpack.
Beam Vulcan
Two firing ports are built in the forehead. These are weak rapid firing beam weapons used for checking enemy movement, damaging equipment, etc.
