The MSAM-033 Gundam G-Arcane was a transformable mobile suit manufactured by the Amerian Forces. This G-type suit was based on blueprints from the Rose of Hermes that contained mobile suit data from the Universal Century era. However, due to Ameria’s current level of technological development, it was not possible to fully reproduce the performance outlined in the blueprints. The Gundam G-Arcane was incompatible with Amerian Forces equipment packs used by mobile suits such as the YG-111 Gundam G-Self. The Gundam G-Arcane utilized a universal standard control system that allowed any pilot to handle it without difficulty. Its armaments included vulcan guns, beam sabers, beam wires, an anti-ship beam rifle and a shield that mounted six sensor burners. The Gundam G-Arcane was later upgraded to the Full Dress configuration that replaced the skirt booster with eight laser cannons and also featured a crown-like head attachment with photon balancers. This Full Dress option was referred to as Plan C, as two other configurations were tested prior to its rollout. In RC 1014, the Gundam G-Arcane was piloted by Aida Surugan, a crew member of the Amerian ship Megafauna that posed as pirates for operations against the Capital Army.
