The LM312V06 Victory Gundam Hexa (aka Hexa) is a variant of the LM312V04 Victory Gundam introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Victory Gundam Hexa is the Victory Gundam with a new Core Fighter model that features a modified head unit for use by squadron leaders. With its distinctive "rabbit ears" design, this new head unit contains a more advanced sensor and communication system, allowing the pilot to have superior knowledge of battlefield conditions and be more capable of piercing electronic countermeasures and maintain contact with comrades. The Victory Gundam Hexa's combat capabilities are identical to the original Victory Gundam.
Armaments[]
- Vulcan Gun
- Like the Victory Gundam, the Victory Gundam Hexa's head-mounted vulcan guns are in the form of a pair of 25mm revolver cannons. They have lower rate of fire and less ammunition than the 60mm vulcans commonly used by mobile suits decades ago, which are too large for a miniaturized mobile suit. However, the high accuracy of the Victory Gundam Hexa's fire control system compensate for these shortcomings.
- 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 superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The Victory Gundam Hexa has four beam sabers stored in forearm storage racks.
- Beam Shield
- By generating a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber, the beam shield can block both beam and projectile weapons. The size of the beam shield can be adjusted freely according to the output, and can expand to a maximum size of 150m-200m in a short period of time to defend warships. The beam shield can be disabled if its generator is damaged. The Victory Gundam Hexa is equipped with two beam shields, one stored in each forearm, and their generators can pivot approximately 180 degrees on the vertical axis. The beam shields are also operable when the Top Fighter is operating independently.
- Beam Rifle
- The Victory Gundam Hexa's standard handheld ranged beam weapon, it is the same beam rifle as used by the Victory Gundam.
- Beam Pistol
- The Victory Gundam Hexa's beam rifle is modular, with a small beam pistol serving as its core. Parts of the beam rifle can be purged to reveal this beam pistol. While boasting a rapid firing rate, the beam pistol is only effective at close range.
- Beam Bazooka
- A beam bazooka utilizes the same technology as a beam rifle, just on a larger scale. Because it produces a larger beam, beam bazooka deals more damage than a beam rifle. The Victory Gundam Hexa can utilize the same beam bazooka as the Gun-EZ.
- Beam Cannon
- A pair of beam cannons can be optionally mounted on the hardpoints on the suit's side armor and powered by the suit's reactor. The cannons' barrels can slide forward during use to reveal hand grips, and the weapon is equivalent to the F91 Gundam F91's Variable Speed Beam Rifles.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Hardpoint
- Hardpoints are attachment points for carrying any compatible weapons or equipment externally, and are standard equipment for all League Militaire mobile suits. The Victory Gundam Hexa is equipped with eight hardpoints, 4 located on arms in mobile suit mode and on main body of Top Fighter, 2 located on side armor in mobile suit mode and on main body of Top Fighter, 2 located on the legs in mobile suit mode and on main body of Bottom Fighter.
- Minovsky Flight System
- The Minovsky Flight System is a mobile suit sized propulsion system developed from the Minovsky Craft System. Powered purely by the mobile suit's reactor, the flight system allows a mobile suit to hover in mid-air, essentially ignore the effects of gravity to a degree. This allows the mobile suit to maintain greater fuel efficiency as all fuel is directed to maneuvering.
History[]
During the war against the Zanscare Empire in UC 0153, the League Militaire fielded the mass-produced LM312V04 Victory Gundam. Eventually a new commander use model was put into limited production, the LM312V06 Victory Gundam Hexa. The Victory Gundam Hexa would be used throughout the war until it was upgraded with the SD-VB03A Overhang Pack to produce the LM312V06+SD-VB03A V-Dash Gundam Hexa.
