Well, "Shinji and Warhammer 40K" and any universes based on the "Adeptus Evangelion" RPG have mecha-sized Bolters. Would be a manner of either adapting them for Gundam use or modifying the action so it can be mounted on a different frame... or resizing as needs be.

And Bolt rounds are gyrojets that actually work and even better than real life, so there is also that (figuring out how to make them work on a Mecha-sized scale from basic reverse engineering).

How about also the Gundam Firewall? Designed purely for firefighting work. Think this Gundam PSA but up to eleven.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gundam_firefighting.jpg

A mech sized gyrojet would basically just be a rocket launcher :p or similar to the rocket assisted artillery rounds.. just scaling up the type of warhead that the bolters use then..

An Eleven fire fighting gundam? ok. Would you say that one in the pic is a 79 or other model? (Or I can just take one of the models I got now and throw together a few ideas).. yeah.. Ok, I'll throw together a few fire fighting models based on one of the Gundams I've already produced and see if I can't crank it up to 11.

Hydra Power Armour mk2
The mk2 version of the Hydra Power Armour looks the same, although the helmet is able to raise and turn more than the original, and is a little narrower. Most of the improvements are all hidden under the armour, including improved actuators for improved speed, improved sensors and includes a few extra systems. The left shoulder has a retractable grenade launcher that has a divided ammo bin to allow up to 3 different types of grenades to be loaded, while the right shoulder has a retractable automatic rifle. The right arm has a retractable blade for additional melee combat. These armours are usually given to elite members and special agents.
The mk2 retains the power system of the original, as well as the ability to enhance its repulsor weapons with the force of attacks the armour takes, however a few safety features were installed to reduce the chance of overload and the damage it might cause.

Repulsor Cannon
These weapons are based on the repulsor weapons developed by Tony Stark, combining a short ranged plasma weapon for heavy strikes, and a lighter, but long ranged laser for greater reach. While the plasma component is powerful, it is not as accurate.
(4d8, 20, fire, 80 ft, s) or a heavy plasma carbine (4d10, 20, fire, 40 ft, s/a)
Damage: 3d8 laser / 5d10 plasma cannon

Notes: Switching between the weapons is a free action that can be done once each round. Laser uses 1 charge, plasma cannon uses 3 charges per shot. Using the plasma cannon the user suffers -1 to attack rolls. The weapon recharges 1 charge every 10 minutes of inactivity.

Power Core
The Hydra Power Armour mk2 is powered by a high energy source that is based on science Hydra acquired about the Tesseract. While not using Tesseract energy, it does use a powerful power source. In an attempt to copy Iron Man's earlier armours that can recharge or boost their power by absorbing other sources of energy, Hydra scientists were partly successful. Every 10 points of damage the power armour takes, the next repulsor cannon attack gains +1 to damage. The armour can store this energy for a maximum of 8 rounds, able to store up to +10 points of damage. After 8 rounds of not firing, the armour takes 1d4 points of fire damage that by passes the hardness for each +1 stored, and the pilot takes half damage.

For the Cause
As a move equivalent action, using training and Indoctoration techniques used by Hydra, the Hydra Soldier gains +1 to attack rolls for the next 1d4+1 rounds. If the Rifle Trooper has suffered damage and rests for at least 2 rounds, can heal 1d4 hit points. Useable 3 times per day.

Hydra Training
Hydra trains its soldiers fairly well, particularly in light armour and how to aim and fire their weapons better. Gains Light Armour Proficiency, and +1 to attack rolls with Hydra ranged weapons.

Executioner
The Vanguard is trained to take advantage of disabled foes. When the Hydra Vanguard attacks a target that is Stunned, Dazed, Slowed or unconscious that is within 30 feet, gains a +1 to attack rolls and deals an extra +5 damage against that target.

Flesh Wound
Vanguards are trained to disable or slow targets to make them easier to take down or capture. As a full round attack, the Vanguard can opt to make a Flesh Wound attack, dealing half damage with their attack, suffering a -2 to attack roll and the target must make a Fort save DC 12 + Vanguard Wis Modifier (DC 13) or be Slowed. A Slowed character suffers -10 ft to speed, -2 to Initiative, Reflex and loses one attack on a full attack if they have multiple attacks per round for 1d4+2 rounds or healed. Multiple successful Flesh Wound attacks penalties stack and extend the duration by 1 round. A character who's speed is reduced to 0 is immobile.


Hydra MCU Weapons
Hydra Tesseract Pistol
During WW2, Hydra developed energy weapons, similar to plasma weapons, using the energy of the Tesseract. These pistols are extremely deadly to organic beings, able to vaporize a human, but not as damaging to inanimate objects. Although powerful, producing the ammunition for these weapons is difficult and thus these weapons are only assigned to officers and elite units.
In Coreline, Hydra has a limited number of these, and while they do not have a Tesseract, they can reproduce the energy, although it is expensive and difficult, so these weapons are only given to elite units and high ranking officers.

Hydra Tesseract Pistol (PL 6-7 Personal Firearms Proficiency)
Damage: 3d10-1
Critical: 20 Disintegrate
Damage Type: Energy
Range Increment: 40 ft
Rate of Fire: S
Size: Medium
Weight: 4.2 lbs
Ammo: 40 box
Purchase DC: 22 Mil (+3) (Hydra Only)
Notes: On a critical roll (natural roll of 20), a target up to a large sized creature (typical humanoid) must make a Fort save DC 28 or be disintegrated. A successful save deals 5d10 damage, if this is enough damage to kill/reduce to 0 hit points, target is disintegrated. Medium sized and smaller targets must make Fort save DC 30.
Special Power Packs - These pistols require special power packs, with a PDC of 14 each, but can only be gotten from Hydra.


Hydra Arnimhilation 99L (Tesseract) Rifle
During WW2, Hydra developed energy weapons, similar to plasma weapons, using the energy of the Tesseract. These rifles are extremely deadly to organic beings, able to vaporize a human, but unlike the pistols, can easily damage inanimate objects, although can't vaporize them. Although powerful, producing the ammunition for these weapons is difficult and thus these weapons are only assigned to officers and elite units. The Arnimhilation 99L was a silver tube shaped rifle, with a forward pistol grip for added stability, black butt stock typically wood or metal coated with rubber, and a basic sight built into the top. The energy pack fits into the bottom just in front of the trigger guard.
In Coreline, Hydra has a limited number of these, and while they do not have a Tesseract, they can reproduce the energy, although it is expensive and difficult, so these weapons are only given to elite units and high ranking officers.

Hydra Arnimhilation 99L (Tesseract) Rifle (PL 6-7 Personal Firearms Proficiency)
Damage: 4d12 + Knockback
Critical: 20 Disintegrate
Damage Type: Energy
Range Increment: 90 ft
Rate of Fire: S
Size: Large
Weight: 12 lbs
Ammo: 40 box
Purchase DC: 23 Mil (+3) (Hydra Only)
Notes: Targets of medium size or smaller must make a Fort save DC 12 or be knocked back 1d4x10 feet, and if strikes an object before reaching the total distance suffers 1d6 subdual damage per 10 feet after the first 10 feet, and knocked prone. A successful save the target is pushed back 5 feet and is Dazed for 1 round.
On a critical roll (natural roll of 20), a target up to a large sized creature (typical humanoid)must make a Fort save DC 28 or be disintegrated. A successful save deals 5d10 damage, if this is enough damage to kill/reduce to 0 hit points, target is disintegrated. Medium sized and smaller targets must make Fort save DC 30.
Special Power Packs - These pistols require special power packs, with a PDC of 14 each, but can only be gotten from Hydra.

If you want an extremely heavily armed mobile weapon there are plenty to choose from out there. From the PF-78-1 Perfect Gundam and its successors the FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam and the FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam to the RX-78GP03 Gundam Dendrobium and the MSZ-010 Double Zeta Gundam and many more in just the Universal Century alone. Also there is this crazy thing

There is something I am working on though. Project V2 is a mobile suit development project led by Tem Ray under the aegis of the UEFA's SNRI. Its aim is to reexamine the designs of the original Project V in the light of modern mobile suit technology, not to mention the technology of other universes. The three main designs the project is developing are the Gundam II, the Guncannon III and the Guntank IV. The Guncannon III is meant to be more than just a simple fire support unit, though it can fulfill that role more than adequately with its default backpack (which can be removed and replaced and is also compatible with the Gundam II and the RGM-122 Javelin). It is also compatible with a special Full-Armor System and Weapon System, which can also be used by the Gundam II. The Guncannon III's FSWS consists of a number of removable weapon systems and armor sections. With a full set it should be quite heavily armed and powerful.

With regards to heavy bolters as a mobile suit weapon, you could do it, but I'm not sure it would be the best choice. Mind you vulcans are already a secondary, back-up weapon, but I'm think there might be better options like auto-blasters or beam vulcans (already a thing in Gundam, though rare) might be a better choice. Or escorting your mobile suits with other units meant for anti-infantry use.

For the fire-fighting mobile suit, I'm thinking a variant of the RMS-116H Hobby Hizack might be a good basis. The Hizack is meant for flexibility and modularity, so it should not be too hard to mount firefighting equipment on it.

I'll probably need to revise my Londo Bell roster in light of this story. I mean the RX-78-2 of the Amuro in this story gets destroyed in the climax of the original Super Robot Wars Coreline that I haven't finished writing, along with the White Base. So if Londo Bell has a RX-78-2, or the MSC-02, it's not those ones!

I am considering using the Earth Defense Command, but I'm not 100% certain how they would fit into Coreline. Would they perhaps be a part of AEGIS, like X-Com?

I've had an idea for a CMV (Coreline Mecha Variation), though I might need a little help with it. Basically, you take an Atlas BattleMech, take out the autocannon and replace it with a beam cannon. It might need better heat sinks, I'm not sure how much heat mega particle weapons might put out.
