Gundam Kimaris Trooper

The Gundam Kimaris Trooper is the Gundam Kimaris equipped with an alternate set of armor for ground combat. It can be considered as the final battle form of the Gundam Kimaris that is prepared for prolonged combat. It is armed with the Destroyer Lance, a Kimaris Shield, a shield-stored Kimaris Saber, and an unknown number of mines stored in the rear skirt armor. A pair of sub-arms are built into the side skirt armor; they can be used to support the Destroyer Lance when it is in use or to hold the Kimaris Shield.

The Gundam Kimaris Trooper's main feature is that it can transform into a four-legged, hovering form known as the 'Trooper Form', and is one of the few Gundam Frame machines with a transformation mechanism. The Trooper Form has excellent frontal assault abilities and emphasizes charging ahead rather than turning capability. A hover unit is installed in the rear skirt armor along with a movable stabilizer, and the hovering is maintained by the same posture/attitude control capabilities used during high mobility maneuvering in a zero-gravity environment. The hovering helps to minimize the effects of gravity and grants the suit high mobility. Thus, the suit's hit-and-run attacks with its lance are as effective on the ground as in space. In terms of defensive capabilities, the Trooper Form has no problem parrying or blocking enemy attacks, allowing it to maintain its hovering state for an extended period.
