TMF/A-802 P-Mod.W BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type

The BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type is a Mobile Suit Variation from the series Gundam SEED.

Combat Abilities
The armament of the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type is derived from the original TMF/A-802 BuCUE. The suit features the same back-mounted 13-tube 400mm missile launcher as the original unit, which is the only ranged weapon mounted on the suit. Other weaponry installed on the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type is intended solely for close combat and included two head spikes, which are mounted on the mouth, giving the suit the appearance of a saber-toothed cat. Other weapons mounted on the suit are four foreleg spike, with two mounted on each foreleg foot and lastly two cutters. Although ZAFT was already studying beam weaponry at this time, this BuCUE variation doesn't feature any.

History
During the first Bloody Valentine War, ZAFT built several mobile suits intended for use on Earth. One such unit was the fore-legged BuCUE, which was the most favorite suit of ZAFT commander Andrew Waltfeld, who was also known as the "Desert Tiger". As a result, ZAFT created a single BuCUE variation called the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type. As its name implies, the suit was built solely for Waltfeld and was even painted in his trademark desert tiger colors. This BuCUE variation eventually served as a testbed for the later produced commander-type TMF/A-803 LaGOWE, which features a similar color scheme and weaponry, including the foreleg spikes. After Waltfeld had received his TMF/A-803 LaGOWE, the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom was put into storage, then later acquired by the Junk Guild, who replaced the missile launcher with manipulator arms for scavenging work. This new version would be piloted by Kisato Yamabuki, and stored on the ReHOME.
