The FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam (Unit 2) is the successor unit of the FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam. It first appeared as a part of MSV-R line.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Heavy Gundam (Unit 2) still retains the same armaments as the original Heavy Gundam. It is equipped with a shoulder-mounted rocket cannon and a beam saber over the opposite shoulder for use in close combat situations. Mounted over the right fore-arm of the Heavy Gundam is a special gun called "heavy launcher." The Heavy Gundam's heavy launcher incorporated both a large Gatling gun and a four-tube missile launcher, making it a useful long-range weapon. The Heavy Gundam (Unit 2) is also equipped with several armaments not featured on the original Heavy Gundam which are a beam rifle, a hyper bazooka, and a shield.
