The F90E Gundam F90 Electronic Type (aka Gundam F90 E-Type) is a variant of the F90 Gundam F90 appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam F90. It is redesigned in 2019 for the P-Bandai's F90 A to Z Project.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
One of many F90 Gundam F90's optional armament variations developed by the Strategic Naval Research Institute between UC 0110s and 0120s and is designed for electronic warfare. The E-Type is meant to scout ahead and gather information on enemy forces. It is equipped with various radar and sensors.
Armaments
- Vulcan Gun
- The F90 E-Type is equipped with a pair of head-mounted Vulcan guns to serve as a mid-close range defensive weapon. While they do little damage against the armor of a mobile suit, they are useful for shoot down incoming missiles, small attack vehicles, or to deter closing in enemy.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is the standard close-combat weapon of many mobile suits, it emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-field that can cut through any physical armor that have not been treated to resist it. The beam saber is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor, and the F90 E-Type is equipped with two beam sabers stored on the backpack. Present only on the redesigned version.
- Jamming Rifle
- A handheld directional jamming weapon that can flood the sensors of enemy mobile suits with noise. Present only on the redesigned version.
- Shield
- Shields are essentially thick slabs of armor that a mobile suit can use to absorb the impact from attacks that, for whatever reason, cannot be dodged. However shields can only withstand so much pressure before becoming damaged themselves. Shields are also treated with an anti-beam coating to defend against beam weapons, however the coating gets gradually burned away each time a beam strikes it until it is rendered useless. Present only on the redesigned version.
- Machine Gun
- One of the optional armaments that can be mounted on the forearms. Present only on the original version.
- Shot Lancer
- One of the optional armaments that can be mounted on the forearms. Present only on the original version.
Special Equipment & Features
- Radome
- A large disk-shaped radome mounted on the backpack. Present only on the redesigned version.
- Electronic Warfare Radar
- These radars are in two different designs and are mounted on the shoulders and front skirt armor. Present only on the redesigned version.
