The second Gaplant was used in space some time later by Titans pilot Yazan Gable. This unit was eventually defeated for good in the Battle at the Golden Gate Bridge. The first was piloted on Earth by Cyber Newtype Rosamia Badam, and was deployed against the AEUG following their assault on Jaburo, when she attacked the Audhumla. Two units were seen used by the Titans during the Gryps War. When the fuel is depleted, the booster can be ejected to decrease mass. To compensate, the Gaplant can be equipped with a custom long-range booster in MA mode, which substantially increases the amount of fuel the Gaplant can carry, thus increasing its operational flight time.
While the thrusters allow the Gaplant to attain incredibly high acceleration, they consume fuel at a high rate.
The binders can function as shields as their surface are anti-beam coated. As these thruster equipped binders are movable, they allow the Gaplant to change direction during flight without needing to change the direction of its nose. Mounted on the arms, it is a composite equipment that can function as a beam rifle, shield and thruster unit. The Gaplant is equipped with a pair of beam sabers stored in its side skirt armor, and they can only be used in MS mode. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The Gaplant is equipped with two beam rifles integrated into the arm-mounted movable shield binders, and they have higher output than most beam rifles of the day due to being powered directly by the machine's reactor. The standard ranged armament of many mobile suits, the beam rifle fires a particle beam that can penetrate any armor not treated with specific counter-measures. The reason for the second hatch is because the first hatch is inaccessible when in mobile armor mode. The second hatch is used only in mobile armor mode and is located in the back of the head.

The first is the standard mobile suit hatch located in the middle of the torso, which is the hatch used in mobile suit mode. To compensate for this, the Gaplant can be equipped with a custom booster in MA mode when it needed to fly longer distances.Ī unique feature of the Gaplant is that it possesses two cockpit hatches. Another problem was its high fuel consumption. However, because of the extreme G-forces which pressed on the pilot during high speed flight, the Gaplant could only be used by the physically toughest humans or by an enhanced Cyber Newtype. The Gaplant was one of the fastest and most agile mobile weapons when in mobile armor mode and thanks to its thruster-equipped movable shield binders, it was able to change direction easily. This transformable mobile weapon was developed by the Augusta and Oakland Research Institutes as a space-use mobile armor, but it also proved to be highly efficient in atmospheric flight.
