Technology & Combat Characteristics

The CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam was created using mobile suit technologies accumulated in the quantum processing system, Veda, and it served as the personal mobile suit of Ribbons Almark, leader of a group of Innovades who called themselves Innovators. This mobile suit was said to be a special machine that inherited the functions, performance and weaponry of all mobile suits before it. The Reborns Gundam can instantly transform between the versatile "Gundam Mode", also known as the "Reborns Gundam", and the long-range shooting specialized "Cannon Mode", also known as the "Reborns Cannon", allowing it to handle any combat situations. Furthermore, it has a large output thanks to the Twin Drive System and is a match for the Celestial Being's GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser in combat. Unlike other mobile suits deployed by the Innovators, the Reborns Gundam did not receive support from Veda and was thus unaffected when the GN-009 Seraphim Gundam activated its Trial System to forcibly shut down all machines linked to Veda.

Ribbons had named the Reborns Gundam based on his own name. The Reborns Gundam's basic design was based on the general-purpose CB-001 1 Gundam and its support-use, artillery combat counterpart, the CBY-077 GN Cannon. Both mobile suits were developed by Veda a decade ago for a cancelled, alternate plan whereby the Celestial Being's armed interventions were conducted by Gundam Meisters who were Innovades instead of human beings. The functions of the 1 Gundam and GN Cannon were combined into a single machine, the Reborns Gundam, to enable Ribbons to fight independently as he did not want to rely on his comrades. Besides Gundam Mode and Cannon Mode, the mobile suit originally had a third mode, the Tank Mode, but it was removed when the Twin Drive System was installed. It primarily uses the Large GN Beam Sabers for close combat, and the GN Buster Rifle as well as the GN Fin Fangs for ranged combat. It primarily uses the GN Buster Rifle as well as four large-sized GN Fin Fangs which in this mode function as powerful beam cannons. The Gundam Mode's manipulators have five fingers each to facilitate the use of portable weaponry such as the GN Buster Rifle, while the Cannon Mode has three-fingers manipulators that double as Egner Whips. Since the Innovators do not possess the original GN Drives, the Reborns Gundam's Twin Drive System utilized two GN Drive Taus that were mounted on the elbows. However, this is also the Reborns Gundam's only deficiency as GN Drive Tau is inferior to the original GN Drive in certain aspects, such as having limited operating time. Ribbons considered the GN Drive Tau to be the cause of his defeat by the 00 Raiser, but in reality, technological innovations have almost eliminated the performance difference between the two types of GN Drives.
