RGM-177 "Physaligun" Mass-Produced Titans' GP02A

Okay, you know the story. After the end of 0083, all of the GP series information was deleted and the Mobile Suits destroyed. I propose the question, what if the purge wasn't as complete as the Federation higher ups thought. Four years later the genocidal Titans begin rolling out a mass produced version of the GP02A, the RGM-177 Physaligun. Using a heavily modified GunCannon-type frame, the RGM-177 features the original nuclear arsenal, heavy armor, 2 beam sabers, and dual anti-MS artillery cannons for those missions that don't require a nuke. It can also carry a beam rifle for extended missions. To furthur expand its colony destroying capabilities, the Physaligun can also fire special GGG rounds from its bazooka instead of the usual nuclear round. Perfect for those occassions when the Titans wanted to keep the real estate, just get rid of the annoying people.

This model is one of my most extensive modifications. It features the lower legs and feet, arms and shoulder boosters, and bazooka and shield from the original 1/144 GP02A kit. The majority of the upper torso is made from the spare G-Cannon torso included in the G-Cannon Magna kit from SF-91, along with the dual artillery cannons and head. The lower torso and upper legs are mostly scratchbuilt from putty and various body parts from the GP02A kit and other assorted kits. The backpack is made from several assorted F-9x backpacks. The pictures below are from the preliminary paint job. A bit more puttying and sanding need to be done before the final paint job is put on, a combination of gray and black with yellow highlights.
