Changes: RGM-196 Freedom

Revision as of 22:09, 7 September 2019

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The RGM-196 Freedom is a mass-produced mobile suit from the live-action television movie G-Saviour, set in the Universal Century timeline. One unit was piloted by Franz Dieter.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A distant successor in the long RGM series of mobile suits, the Freedom is an outdated mobile suit formerly used by the Earth Federation before it was dissolved. Compared to CONSENT's CCMS-03 Bugu, the Freedom's hand plug system is only compatible with older handheld weapons.^[1]

The Freedom was used as the design reference for the F-SAVIOUR F-Saviour, an early MS in the Illuminati's Saviour line.^[2]

Armaments

Vulcan Guns: A pair of vulcan guns located in the head. Used to thwart enemy movement.

Beam Saber: The Freedom's only close range melee weapon. It is stored on the backpack when not in use.

Beam Shield: The Freedom has beam shield generators located on both of its forearms.

MC-1 thru MC-2 and MPC-1 thru MPC-2 Compatible Hand Weapons: The Freedom can be equipped with a variety of old handheld weaponry through a handplug system.

Machine Gun: A machine gun that fires physical rounds. It has a high rate of fire but is largely ineffective against more modern mobile suits.

Shield: The Freedoms deployed by Gaea carry a physical shield for blocking ranged attacks. However the shield is seldom able to protect the Freedom, as it is easily damaged by beam weaponry.

History

Referred to as "Old Dog" by pilots, the Freedom was created during the end of the Earth Federation, and is well over three decades old during the events of G-Saviour. Although it used to be a military MS, it soon fell into private use by the Settlements (Sides space colonies) for self-defense and construction.^[2] A squadron of Gaean Freedoms were deployed when CONSENT armed forces led by General Garneaux attack Side 8. These Gaean units lacked the ability to use most of the Freedom's original armaments, instead relying on old handheld weapons utilizing the MPC-1 and MPC-2 handplugs.^[1] The outdated mobile suits were no match for the more advanced CONSENT mobile suits, the Bugus and the autonomous mobile weapons, the MW-Rais.

One Freedom, piloted by Franz Dieter, was severely damaged and crashed onto Gaea's solar panels. He and the other Freedom pilots, who were volunteers not experienced with MS combat, won the battle only through the intervention of Mark Curran in the G-Saviour and the arrival of the Illuminati.

 ==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
-A successor of the long [[RGM-79 GM]] line, the Freedom model is a completely outdated mobile suit formerly used by the [[Earth Federation]] before it was dissolved. Compared to [[CONSENT]]'s [[CCMS-03 Bugu]], the Freedom's MPC-2 handplug system is only compatible with old handheld weapons and doesn't support beam rifles. While it has a beam shield listed as one of its armaments, it is usually armed with only a conventional solid shield. In the movie, a few models of the Freedom have a blue left shoulder. What the meaning of this remains unknown, although it may denote a commander or ace pilot status. The Freedom is also the prototype of the [[F Saviour]], the sixth unit of the [[Saviour Series]].

-A mobile suit created during the end of the Earth Federation, the Freedom is well over three decades old by the time of G-Saviour. Although it used to be a military unit, it was used by the Side colonies for self-protection and construction. It is only seen when [[CONSENT]] forces led by [[General Garneaux]] attack Side 8. However the outdated mobile suits are no match for the CONSENT Mobile Suits, the [[CCMS-03 Bugu|Bugus]] and [[CAMW-13 MW-Rai|MW-Rais]].
