The F90G Gundam F90 Guards Type (aka Gundam F90 G-Type) is a variant of the F90 Gundam F90 featured in the F90 A to Z PROJECT.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A Mission Pack for the F90 Gundam F90 that primarily designed for defense for guarding, security and escort missions. [1]
It has two types of large armaments attached to the hard points on its shoulders, a large Multiple Beam Weapon on its right shoulder and a Large Shield that covers its upper body on its left shoulder.[1]
Armaments[]
- 60mm Vulcan Gun
- A pair of shell-firing weapon built into the head. Though not powerful, its high rate of fire meant it was employed to intercept enemy missiles/units, as warning shots, and to destroy lightly armored targets. Early in the F90's design phase, it was proposed that all equipment not necessary for basic operations, such as built-in firearms, were to be eliminated so as to keep the machine small, light and highly mobile. However, the Vulcan guns were subsequently added for self-defense purposes.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with super-heated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The F90 has two beam sabers stored on the backpack. Depending on the configuration of the Mission Pack, they may be relocated to other parts of the Mission Pack.
- Multiple Beam Weapon
- A combination beam weapon that can be stowed on a mount latch on the hardpoint on the right shoulder. It can generate a large beam blade from the main blade body to be used as a two-handed melee weapon, but it can also switch to rifle mode by swiveling the handle and fire beams from the blade tip. It is powered by the same type of E-pack used by Gundam F90's beam rifle, which attaches behind the sensor.
- Large Shield
- A physical shield attached to the hard point on the left shoulder. It has a hinge and can swivel up and down. The central part of the shield is decorated with the emblem of the Federation Forces.
History[]
Assault on Insel Asteroid Base[]
In U.C. 0115, a F90 Gundam F90 unit 2 assigned to Space Ark Class the Fairlady, and was equipped with G-Type and N-type Mission Pack. This unit piloted by Dir Rider, and serve as the spearhead unit for Earth Federation Forces' Fastest Formula (FF) Corps. During FF Corps siege of Zeon Remnants "Insel" asteroid base, the F90 NG-Type was escorted by F89 Gundam F89, and F70 Cannon Gundam. While its escort units engaged with other Zeon Remnants MS', the F90 NG-Type would fight against several AMX-107 Bawoos, but manage to destroy them with ease thanks to its superior pilot skill and state of the art technology. [2]
After fighting the Zeon Remnants, a replica of NZ-000 Queen Mansa suddenly appears on the battlefield and soon it engaged with the FF Corps and tried to destroy the F70, but the F90 NG-Type manage to rescue it. Then the Queen Mansa deploy its funnels against the FF Corps, but the F90 NG-Type was able to destroy its funnel with its own Hilt funnels. After than the F90 NG-Type was able to destroy the Queen Mansa, spared its head unit and captured its pilot back to the Fairlady.[2]
Siege of Trimurti Anti Asteroid Cannon[]
Later in U.C 116, the G-Type was used by Gundam F90 unit 3, as one of the mission pack combination alongside N-Type, V-Type, and W-Type dubbed the FF Type during the siege of Trimurti Anti Asteroid Cannon by Zeon Remnant "Legacy" Cell. This piloted by Dir Rider, and still become the spearhead of FF Corps against the Legacy forces, and manage to destroy the MSA-120 Draig near end of the siege.[3]
Variant[]
- F90 Gundam F90 NG Type
- Featured in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula, it is the Gundam F90 Unit 2 equipped with a combination of parts from the Next Type, and G-Type mission packs. This unit piloted by Dir Rider. Alongside the F90 G-type's standard armaments, the F90 NG Type also has the N-Type's beam rifle, Hilt Funnel, and Shield equipped to the hardpoints unused by G-Type Parts.[2] With this combination of mission pack parts, the F90 NG-Type was able to boast powerful melee attack, while also allowing it to engage against Newtype specialized MS such as the NZ-000 Queen Mansa on equal footing.[2]
