Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Full Burnern Zephyranthes" is a retrofit of the RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes" with emphasis on space combat. This equipment was already completed by the time of the Gundam "Zephyranthes"' roll-out, but scheduled tests could not take place due to the damage during the battle with the Cima fleet. Though the GP01 was meant to operate in both Earth and Space, the Core Block System had to be swapped before each battle. After the GP01, still in its Earth configuration, was critically damaged in a battle with Cima Garahau, Anaheim Electronics took the remains of the Gundam and gave it a massive overhaul, creating the Gundam Full Burnern "Zephyranthes". The renovation process was completed in two days, with operational testing being carried out at Anaheim Electronics' Livermore factory.
Its armor is much more streamlined for better mobility in space, and thrusters are mounted in the legs, chest, and shoulder. The air-intakes on the chest are replaced with attitude control thrusters, with the covers expanding during use. Propellant tanks are built into the shins to further extend the operation time of the RX-78GP01-Fb. The backpack is equipped with built-in generators. Four additional thruster units are attached to the feet in the same manner as "shoes". The most noticeable addition to the GP01 are the two Universal Booster Pods on the backpack. They allow the Full Burnern to have superior acceleration and mobility when compared to other units at that time. As a result , the pilot has to contend with high G-forces due to overwhelming acceleration.
Armaments
60mm Vulcan Gun - A standard armament of the Earth Federation Forces' mobile suits is a pair of head mounted 60mm vulcan guns. These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but have little power.
A.E.Blash·XBR-L-83d/Du.02 Beam Saber - The beam saber produces high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field filled with superheated plasma that creates a deadly cutting blade. It is an effective weapon for close-quarters combat. This particular model is manufactured by Anaheim Electronics.
BOWA XBR-M-82-05H Beam Rifle - A specialized high-power beam rifle designed specifically for the GP01, it features an advanced firing control system integrated into the weapon.
"jitte" Beam Saber Blocking Unit - The beam jitte attached to the Zephyranthes' beam rifle is a specialized beam saber designed to catch enemy beam sabers, allowing the pilot to quickly counter when there is no time to draw out his main beam saber.
HFW-GMG・MG79-90mm Machine Gun - The bullpup machine gun is a simple shell-firing machine gun that is based on older technologies, making it a weapon that can be cheaply produced and can be used by just about any mobile suit. Federation Forces standard armament used during this period.
RX·VSh-023F/S-04712 Shield - A flexible shield with applied beam-resistant coating, it can withstand several direct beam hits.
Blash XBR-L-83d Experimental Beam Rifle - A large-scale, long-range prototype beam rifle first tested on n November 05, 0083. It is a highly inaccurate weapon, and is only used once in combat due to the unavailability of a standard beam rifle.

History
The RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam Full Burnern Zephyranthes was first deployed on November 8th of the year UC 0083 after the repairs and upgrades to the RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes". Its initial deployment was a test run of its capabilities on the moon's surface, piloted by its pilot Kou Uraki.
Its second deployment was the next day, when the mobile armor Val Varo appeared near the city Von Braun, the pilot demanding to duel the Gundam. The Full Bernern Zephyranthes was deployed though because of his past with the pilot Kelley Layzner, Kou Uraki was hesitant to fight. This hesitancy caused the Zephyranthes to be caught in the Val Varo's plasma leaders. While the Gundam was incapacitated Nina Purpleton was almost killed, removing Kou's hesitancy. Two of the plasma leaders were destroyed by a RGC-83 GM Cannon II piloted by Chuck Keith, and the third was destroyed by the Gundam. Freed of the plasma leaders the Gundam and the Val Varo entered a battle of speed and agility, neither able to damage the other. Finally the Val Varo caught the Gundam by the legs, but Kou disengaged the torso and used a beam saber to critically damage and destroy the Val Varo.
The Full Burnern was destroyed in a heated battle with its brother unit, the RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis".

1/144 HGUC RX-78GP01Fb Gundam GP01Fb "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern Model Kit Review
After suffering heavy damage while en route to Von Braun, the RX-78GP01 was retooled into the RX-78GP01Fb Gundam Full Vernian Zephyranthes at the Anaheim Electronics facility on the Moon. The Full Vernian unit differs from the regular unit in a couple of ways. First, it has a set of Universal Boost Pods mounted behind the shoulder for better maneuverability. Secondly, the GP01's wings were removed and replaced with additional fuel units - the Universal Boost Pods replace the wings on the GP01. All of these modifications are reflected in the kit, which features all the posability and articulation you've come to expect. Accessories include shield, beam saber and beam rifle.
Value: 5/5
Quality: 4/5
Design: 4/5
A simple model that is to the point. What it lacks in articulation it makes up for with being sturdy. The various verniers throughout the body are fixed in place. No gimmick. But the back thrusters are fully poseable, allowing for some nice variation. The arms and legs arent as poseable as todays model, but they do enough to allow the model to do the poses it might actually do in space.
Fitting, since it is designed for space use. The additional core fighter is also a nice touch. Another nice feature are the hands. They arent poseable, but they are molded so they hold the weapons they were designed for perfectly. A nice addition to the overall sturdiness of this model. To wrap up. Its a solid model that while somewhat limited, can do what this Gundam in its show was capable of. I recommend it, if you can find it.
