The GNY-003 Gundam Abulhool was a second generation Gundam developed by Celestial Being on the space colony Krung Thep. The second generation Gundams were produced to test designs and weapons for the future combat deployment of the third generation, and as such, the Gundam Abulhool served as the predecessor to the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios. The transformable Gundam Abulhool was created to address the issue Gundams encountered in aerial combat where they were unable to fly at high speeds due to wind resistance. Compared to the mobile suits used by the Union and AEU, the Gundam Abulhool could transform between mobile suit and flight modes without swapping parts. Because the focus was placed on the flight mode, its mobile suit mode was rather crude. The Gundam Abulhool was lightly armed with a pair of GN Vulcan Guns, but its wings could equip standard missile pods. The vertical parts in the suit’s thighs contained a pair of work arms that could each mount a GN Beam Saber, with the ability to function as a GN Beam Rifle. The Gundam Abulhool’s tests were conducted under gravity on Earth. The suit was also used for reconnaissance missions since GN particles could disrupt enemy radar and rendered the suit undetectable. The suit could also switch from GN verniers to plasma jets to prevent the detection of GN particles. The flight mode also concealed that the suit was a Gundam. After the second generation testing was completed, the Gundam Abulhool was later transferred to Celestial Being’s support group Fereshte, where it was upgraded into the GNY-003F Gundam Abulhool Type F.
