Changes: MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II

Revision as of 20:37, 23 December 2019

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II is a mobile suit from Zeta Gundam Variations.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The RMS-099 Rick Dias, the first mobile suit developed for the AEUG, was a well-balanced masterpiece of a machine. Thus, several plans were created to improve its design, and one such plan was the MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II. The Rick Dias II was intended to maintain the concept of the original machine while improving all of its equipment. In addition to higher output binders, thrusters were added to the backpack and legs, giving it greatly enhanced mobility.

It also has a slightly improved reactor and based on operating data from machines like the Dijeh, each part of the machine is also significantly enhanced. Unlike the Rick Dias, the Rick Dias II uses a double mega beam gun instead of beam pistols. Although this machine demonstrated high performance, its construction costs were high compared to the Rick Dias', and only a few pilots could use it. Thus, construction ended with only one prototype unit.

Armaments

Beam Saber: The standard close range armament for most Mobile Suits. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating.

Double Mega Beam Gun: A twin barreled mega beam gun, power rated at 4.8 MW, can be stored on the backpack when not in use. This weapon was the prototype for the ZZ Gundam's double beam rifle.

History

According to official records, it appears that the prototype unit was never used in combat.

-The '''Rick Dias II''' is a [[mobile suit]] from the series Zeta Gundam Variations of the Gundam metaseries.

-==Technology and Combat Characteristics==
+;*Beam Saber
-The '''MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II''' is a prototype mobile suit that is an upgraded version of the [[RMS-099 Rick Dias]]. Its combat abilities are much the same as its predecessor except that the Rick Dias II has more thrusters and a superior propulsion system granting it greater speed and maneuverability than the Rick Dias, as well as a slightly improved powerplant. One of the main combat differences is that the Rick Dias II's design replaces the beam pistols of the original and sports a much more powerful 2-barrel mega beam gun.
+:The standard close range armament for most Mobile Suits. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating.
+;*Double Mega Beam Gun
-Because of the limited resources of the [[AEUG]] and their philosophies for mobile suit design it is likely that the Rick Dias II could use weapons employed by the AEUG's other mass produced mobile suits.
+:A twin barreled mega beam gun, power rated at 4.8 MW, can be stored on the backpack when not in use. This weapon was the prototype for the ZZ Gundam's double beam rifle.
 ==History==
+According to official records, it appears that the prototype unit was never used in combat.
-The MSA-009-2 Rick Dias II is created during the [[Gryps Conflict]] with the intention of serving as the successor to the AEUG's RMS-099 (MSA-099) Rick Dias. The suit is a substantial improvement over the original Rick Dias in nearly every respect. The old beam pistols on the Rick Dias have been replaced with a far more powerful 2-barrel mega beam gun. The Rick Dias II enters a short production run and is assigned to the AEUG's ace pilots. But with the plan to produce the [[MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki|MSR-00100S Hyaku Shiki Kai]], production on the Rick Dias II stops after several units are rolled out.
