Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The MS-09H Dwadge Custom is a mobile suit that appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ series. It is piloted by Desert Rommel.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Once a standard MS-09G Dwadge ground combat mobile suit that was used during the Universal Century Era's One Year War, it was heavily modified by its owner, Desert Rommel, leader of Zeon Remnants "The Rommel Corps" still operating on Earth in Africa. Rommel's Dowadge is steadily upgraded over the years following the war's end, and by U.C. 0088, it is redesignated the MS-09H Dwadge Custom, and it was a more formidable machine than the regular Dwadge. This machine is equipped with chemical fuel type rocket boosters on the shoulders, and a duct for exhaust heat effective in local battles such as tropical areas has been newly installed in the crotch, it became possible to continuously demonstrate high mobility without being influenced by the environment. The generator was also retrofitted, and the attack power increased due to the implementation of beam weapons, which was a problem for the Dom. The armor strength and operating system have also been upgraded, and the performance is comparable to that of the MS of the late 0080's to some extent.
Armaments
- 60mm Vulcan Gun
- The Dwadge Custom has a pair of Vulcan guns mounted into its head. These projectile weapons are designed for intercepting missiles and destroying lightly armored vehicles, but are ineffective against the heavier armor of a mobile suit.
- Heat Saber
- Stored on the shoulder when not in use, the Heat Saber uses thermal energy to superheat its blade to melt through the armor of an enemy machine. Output 0.52 MW.
- Scattering Beam Gun
- A beam weapon mounted in the left side of the Dwadge's chest. As an offensive weapon the scattering beam gun is completely incapable of damaging an enemy machine, but it does produce a bright light that is capable of momentarily blinding eyes and visual sensors.
- Beam Cannon
- A weapon stolen by the Rommel Corps from the Federation after the One Year War.
- Heat Tomahawk
- A large, double-bladed heat weapon exclusive to the Dwadge. Being much sturdier in design compared to the heat saber, it is able to better withstand the high powered impacts of melee combat. Output 0.77 MW.
Special Equipment & Features
- External Propellant Tank
- An external tank used for propellant storage. This extra propellant greatly extends a mobile suit's operating range, and enables it to stay in combat longer. When the propellant is consumed, the tank can be discarded to reduce the mobile suit's weight. This tank uses a two-layered construction, with one layer containing propellant, and the other holding extra coolant.
History
Despite the aformentioned upgrades, the Dwadge Custom was still considered an obsolete machine when compared to the advanced mobile suits fielded by AEUG in U.C. 0088. It was subsequently destroyed in battle against the Gundam Team when it was defeated by the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam's Beam Saber.
