History
Some time ago Gundam Ace launched a "Grand Prix" asking readers to draw their own MSV-R mobile suit. The winner's drawing a Gouf customized for Garma Zabi and provided of a core fighter-like Dopp inside its chest was then re-interpreted by Kunio Okawara, which made it into an official MSV-R mobile suit. The background story provided for this mobile suit variant is the MS-07W Gouf Core Fighter Test Type os developed by California Base Mobile Suit Factory. Inspired by the Gundam's core block system the California Base created their own by combining a Gouf with a Dopp Fighter. After the recapture of the California Base the Gouf Core Fighter Test Type was under the possession of the Earth Federation Forces.
