GAT-X399/Q Wild Dagger

The Wild Dagger is a Mobile Suit Variation of the ZGMF-X88S Gaia Gundam from the series Gundam SEED Destiny.

Combat Abilities
Like the Gaia, the Wild Dagger can transform into a quadrupedal Mobile armor mode for high-speed hit-and-run attacks. In this mode, it is armed with a forward-firing Gatling gun and a rear-firing cannon, and the waist-mounted beam sabers pivot outward to function similarly to the Gaia's wing blades. The rear-firing cannon is used to finish the job if its Gatling gun and beam sabers prove inadequate in a hit-and-run attack. The Wild Dagger also includes a back-mounted turret that can mount a variety of weapons, including beam cannons and missile launchers.

Optionally the Gatling machine gun can be replaced by two "Midas Messer" beam boomerangs. The Wild Dagger can also be equipped with a M703K beam carbine and a Mk39 low-recoil cannon.

History
By used data from the Gaia, the Earth Alliance creates the GAT-X399/Q Wild Dagger, a prototype using components of the GAT-02L2 Dagger L that is initially intended to test the viability of the design for mass production. The Wild Dagger is later put into limited production, with a total of 72 being produced for use in counter-insurgency units.
