TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound

The Kerberos BuCUE Hound is a Mobile Suit in the ONA Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer.

Combat Abilities
Since this suit is designed specifically for close combat, it features a large number of beam blades of various sizes and forms. These include beam fangs, beam horns and the more classic beam sabers. For ranged combat, the Kerberos only features two beam cannons. At least one unit was equipped with the Blaze Wizard Pack and thus armed with the typical AGM138 "Firebee" guided missiles, stored in the pack.

Beam blades
The Kerberos BuCUE Hound is equipped with a large number of beam blades, giving it impressive close combat abilities. Each head of the Kerberos Wizard Pack mounts a double-edged beam saber, similar to the one used on the original TMF/A-802 BuCUE, as well as a dual beam horn and dual beam fangs. The head mounted on the suit itself also features a dual beam fang. If an enemy suit is forced to the ground, the Kerberos BuCUE Hounds can use the beam fangs to attacking the suit as if they were real dogs.

Beam cannon
Mounted on the Kerberos Wizard Pack are two beam cannons, which are the only ranged weapons mounted on the suit.

System Features
This BuCUE variant was designed to mount ZAFT's new Wizard Packs, which are also used on the ZAKU series. As its name suggests, the BuCUE Hound is usually outfitted with the Kerberos Wizard Pack, but it can also mount other packs. Additionally, the Kerberos pack can be mounted on a ZAKU as well.

History
Created at an unknown point of time after the first Bloody Valentine War, the Kerberos BuCUE Hound is an upgraded variant of the original BuCUE, but designed specifically for close combat. While the old suit could mount railguns or missile launchers on its back, the Kerberos BuCUE can mount the new Wizard Packs, implying that it was created as part of ZAFT's "New Millennium" series, although this is pure speculation. The name of this BuCUE variant is derived from the three heads (one on the original suit and two on the Wizard Pack), which similar to the ones on the mythical Kerberos.

Although the exact date of introduction is unknown, an unknown number of Kerberos BuCUE Hounds is active in the Second Bloody Valentine War. One group of BuCUE Hounds is part of a ZAFT strike force which attacks the Earth Alliance Hannibal-class land battleship Bonaparte. They are even capable of destroying one of their more powerful suits, the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel, killing its pilot Mudie Holcroft in the process. The suits are afterwards however destroyed by the other Gundams of the team.

Another custom-colored BuCUE Hound belongs to ZAFT pilot Isaac Mau, who joins the crew of the Mars ship Acidalium. He uses his suit in several fights against the Earth Alliance, during which he fights alongside the Mars pilots.
