The YG-111 Gundam G-Self was capable of mounting multiple equipment packs for specific mission profiles, and one such configuration was the Tricky Pack manufactured by the Amerian Forces. Equipping the Tricky Pack changed the Gundam G-Self’s color scheme to pink. The Tricky Pack’s main function was electronic warfare, utilizing an I-field to disrupt enemy equipment. The Tricky Pack’s photon armor could also emit photon energy for a “Flash Attack” that temporarily disrupted a mobile suit’s ability to move properly. The Tricky Pack was also capable of Minovsky flight. In this configuration, its armaments were limited to the Gundam G-Self’s beam sabers and vulcan guns.
