The AGE-3F Gundam AGE-3 Fortress is a heavy assault wear variation of the AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Normal introduced in the Kio Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. It is piloted by Kio Asuno.
Technological & Combat Characteristics[]
The Gundam AGE-3 Fortress is a wear of the Gundam AGE-3 designed to fight on Earth's natural environments such as deserts and swamps.[1] It was formed using the Core Fighter and the G-Hopper. The legs of the AGE-3 Fortress featured built-in hover units, allowing it to maneuver through desert and swampy terrain easily. However, the mobile suit is incapable of flying.
The AGE-3 Fortress's main weaponry is four SigMaxxis Cannons, each having the same firepower as the SigMaxxis Rifle. When fired simultaneously, the cannons can create powerful blasts capable of wiping out an entire Vagan force. With more than twice the total firepower of the AGE-2DB Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet, the AGE-3 Fortress dominates the battlefield literally as a "Mobile Fortress",[2] able to take down Vagan suits completely through brute force.
Armaments[]
- SigMaxiss Cannon
- The only armaments of Gundam AGE-3 Fortress are four SigMaxiss Cannons mounted on the forearms and shoulders. As they were developed from the Diva-class's Photon Blaster Cannon, each cannon can take down any Vagan MS with one shot, even those outfitted with Electromagnetic Armor. When used simultaneously, the four cannons can generate a more powerful blast that can take down multiple enemies. These cannons can be ejected when necessary.
System Features[]
- The AGE System is the Special OS for the Gundam engineered by the lineage of the Asuno family. It researches the evolution of living beings by digitizing the mysteries surrounding it and collects battle data to customize itself, grows alongside the pilot and is customized and used exclusively by the pilot itself. The only way for this system to be used and the Gundam to mobilize is by using the AGE Device.
- The Core Block System allows the Gundam AGE-3 to be separated and re-combined in emergency situations as well as to change wears in any environment without the requirement of AMEMBO to specifically transport the wear variation.
- Wear System
- The Wear Systems of the Gundam AGE-3 are in the form of transformable flight units: G-Hopper for the AGE-3F Gundam AGE-3 Fortress, G-Cepter for AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Normal, and G-Viper for AGE-3O Gundam AGE-3 Orbital. Each unit has its own cockpit, requiring a pilot to activate and launch the G-Wear while the auto-pilot system will align and dock with the Core Fighter to become the desired variation. Later upgrades to the Wear System negated the G-Hopper cockpit, allowing for the desired wear to be launched independently.
