MSM-04 Acguy (Thunderbolt Ver.)

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The MSM-04 Acguy (アッガイ, Aggai^?) is an amphibious mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt manga and its ONA adaptation.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The amphibious Acguy used by Daryl Lorenz's team is noticeably smaller than the standard version, being approximately 12 meters tall. Its Iron Nails were replaced with three-fingered manipulators, and its head, arms, and back can be fitted with various optional units, such as sensors and weapons, for specific roles.

The Enemy Search Type specializes in intelligence gathering and command, the Firepower Type provides fire support and serves as the rear guard, the Heavy Firepower Type acts as the primary combat element, and the Maneuver Type serves as the vanguard and scout, and support the other units.
