The SPA-51 Cannon Illefuto is an artillery mobile suit introduced in ∀ Gundam. Its pilot included Will Game and Teteth Halleh.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

An excavated artillery mobile suit dating back to the Dark History, the Cannon Illefuto has high firepower due to the backpack-mounted five-barrel gatling gun. Others armaments include a vulcan gun on the left side of its head and an arm-mounted shield with integrated beam saber emitter for close-quarters combat. Despite this, it fares poorly in close range. Thanks to the maintenance by the Dianna Counter, its operability is improved.

Armaments

• 5-barrel Gatling Gun

Mounted on the backpack, this spinning, five-barrel weapon has a rapid rate of fire and serves as the Cannon Illefuto's main armament. It is relatively large compared to the mobile suit itself.

• Vulcan Gun

A single gun pod mounted in the left side of the Cannon Illefuto's head. It is useful in intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and engaging lightly-armored vehicles.

• Shield

Mounted on the left forearm, this physical shield not only serves as a defensive armament, but can also emit a beam saber from a small opening at the bottom. This offensive feature was not utilized during its brief battle against the Inglessa and Luzianna Militias.

History

Though the origin of the Cannon Illefuto was unknown, its linear seat resembled the one used on the F71 G-Cannon, placing its development time at some point after the U.C. 0120s.
