The F90II Gundam F90II (also known as F90 Dash[1]) is a mobile suit introduced in the original design series Mobile Suit Gundam F90.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The F90II Gundam F90II was built from the recovered OMS-90R Gundam F90 by Strategic Naval Research Institute (SNRI). Its speed and maneuverability is significantly higher compared to the original F90 Gundam F90 because of the added thrusters and a more powerful reactor. However, the most notable feature of the F90II Gundam F90II is the prototype Bio-Computer System, which replaces the original A.I System. This Psycommu-based system relays tactical data directly into the pilot's brain, increasing the pilot's awareness in the battlefield. The Gundam F90II retains the hardpoints and weapon rack of the Gundam F90, and can be equipped with Mission Packs. In particular, it has been shown to use the Type I (Intercept Type) and Type L (Long-Range Type).
Armaments[]
- Vulcan Gun
- The F90II 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 machines.
- 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 not treated to resist it. The beam saber is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor, and the F90II has two beam sabers stored on the backpack.
- Beam Rifle
- The same model of beam rifle as used by the F90 Gundam F90. It uses an E-pack system, and the E-pack inserted into the back of the rifle becomes the gunstock. Spare E-packs can be carried on the side skirt's hardpoints, and the beam rifle itself can be stored on the rear skirt's weapon rack.
- Shield
- A single-plate solid shield, it is the same model as used by the Gundam F90. It can be mounted on the left forearm, handheld, or stored on the backpack hardpoint. Two spare E-packs for the beam rifle can be stored on the shield's back.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Hardpoints
- The F90II is equipped with 11 Hardpoints for mounting various external equipment and/or armaments to meet specific needs or combat situations. Thus making the F90II an extremely versatile MS that could operate in various conditions.
- Bio-Computer
- A new kind of man-machine interface, the Bio-Computer is a next generation device developed from the psycommu system, but places less strain on its human operator. It is originally intended to help the disabled, but its development is ultimately funded by the EFF for combat purpose. As its name implies, the Bio-Computer is similar in structure to a human brain, and its operating processes resemble human thoughts and feelings. Rather than merely displaying data collected by the MS’ sensors on a computer monitor, the Bio-Computer can relay it directly to the pilot in the form of sensory information, so what the machine "feels" can also be experienced by the human operator. Like the original psycommu system, the Bio-Computer also allows the pilot to control the MS using thoughts alone. However, the full latent potential of this system can only be tapped by a Newtype pilot.
- Weapon Rack
- The F90II has a weapon rack on its rear skirt armor for storing handheld weapons such as the Beam Rifle. The weapon rack can also be used for mounting parts of certain Mission Packs.
History[]
During the aftermath of the battle with the Mars Zeon in UC 0120, the Earth Federation Forces recovered the remains of the OMS-90R Gundam F90 and sent the unit back to the SNRI to be reconstructed. The mobile suit was then rebuilt into the F90II Gundam F90II.
