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.
The MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II 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. Each part of the machine is dramatically improved, based on operating data from machines like the Dijeh. 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.

Thus, construction ended with only one prototype unit.
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.

The RMS-099 Rick Dias, the first mobile suit developed by the AEUG, was a well-balanced masterpiece of a machine. The use of Gundarium Gamma also reduced its weight and gave it relatively high expandability. Thus several plans were created to improve and enhance the Rick Dias to keep up with increases in mobile suit performance. Some of these involved enhancing its back units, such as the RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias which aimed to increase its firepower by installing mega particle cannons in the backpack binders, or the [[RMS-099S Rick Dias S]] which was based on the concept established by the RX-178 + FXA-05D of attaching a support unit to the mobile suit. The MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II, though, was a renewal model 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 far higher mobility than the RMS-099. It could also use a newly developed twin mega beam gun (whose concept was inherited by the MSZ-010) and various other weapons, starting with those used by the RMS-099, so it had sufficient firepower as well. But although this machine demonstrated high performance, its construction costs were high compared to those of the RMS-099, and only a few pilots could use it. Thus construction ended with one prototype machine, and according to official records it appears that this first prototype unit was never used in combat.

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.
