F89 Gundam F89

The F89 Gundam F89 is a mobile suit which appears in the manga series Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Gundam F89 was an experimental mobile suit built by SNRI to test the latest technologies for their line of miniaturized mobile suits. As a result, despite being a testbed unit, it boasts high performance for an 18-meter tall MS, and is said to have performance similar to the F90 Gundam F90. The frame of the Gundam F89 is newly designed, however it is compatible with parts from Anaheim Electronics mobile suits.

Armaments

History
Designed as a testbed mobile suit for technologies to be used on miniaturized mobile suits, two units were produced by SNRI. The collected data was later used in the development of the Gundam F90. One unit was later modified into the Anchor, while the other unit was refurbished by Oz.
