Ovv-a Baqto

The ovv-a Baqto is a mobile suit of the Unknown Enemy that appears in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Baqto is a heavy type UE in the same class as the ovv-f Gafran. It is heavily armored, giving it excellent defense. Baqto's armor is strong enough to withstand a blast from the Gundam AGE-1 Normal's DODS Rifle at close range, resulting in the dispersal of the beam.

The combination of the Baqto's thick armor, its high physical strength, and advanced UE weaponry makes this unit highly formidable in both long and close range combat. However, its heavy armor comes at the cost of its mobility. It has trouble maintaining its footing on soft uneven terrain, and lighter mobile suits like the RGE-B790 Genoace, can maneuver around it and not take damage.

Armaments

 * Beam Rifle
 * Serves as the Baqto's tail when transformed. Its beam rifle can be mounted over or under the right shoulder when in use, it is a powerful long-range weapon that can completely destroy a Gafran.


 * Diffuse Beam Cannon
 * The Baqto, like the Gaftan, has a diffuse beam cannon in the chest. It is composed of 5 emitters arranged in a star-like pattern and possesses a wider spread. It is also able to produce a short beam blade at each emitter. However, the diffuse beam cannon has no effect on AGE-1T Gundam AGE-1 Titus, due to its powerful defenses.


 * Beam Vulcan
 * Mounted on each hand. Fairly effective at damaging or destroying most human made creations. Also possesses a beam saber mode.

History
One Baqto appeared in the Fardain colony, while Flit Asuno was trying to use the Gundam to stop a skirmish between warring factions in the colony. Flit, cautious about using the DODS rifle in the colony waited until the Baqto was at close range. But even at short range, the Baqto's armor proved to be too powerful and dispersed the beam, causing minor damage to the colony's city. As Flit attempted to engage at close range, with a melee attack, the Baqto seemed to disappear, right before Zalam's troops re-appeared to arrest Flit for damaging the colony.

A Baqto (possibly the same one) was seen a short while later with two escorting Gafran. While the Gafran engaged Zalam and Euba mobile suits the Baqto targeted a jeep carrying Vargas, Grodek Ainoa, and a bunch of children. This unit was stalled by Largan in his Genoace until Flit destroyed it with the AGE-1T Gundam AGE-1 Titus.

Three more Baqto then attacked Fardain's city, two of which were destroyed by Woolf Enneacle and his new WMS-GEX1 G-Exes while the third was destroyed by the Titus.
