The RX-75 Guntank is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A mobile suit that was created by the Earth Federation Forces' "RX Project" mobile suit development alongside the RX-78 Gundam type and the RX-77-02 Guncannon. It was designed with an emphasis on long range fire support and artillery combat in mind centered around its two massive back-mounted railguns. For mid-range fire support, the Guntank is equipped with 4 missile launchers on its arms. Due to being the earliest model developed for the RX Project, the Guntank was designed with caterpillar tracks for mobility instead of legs like other mobile suits, which combined with its lack of melee weapons makes it ill-equipped for close combat.
Armaments[]
- Railguns
- Missile Launchers
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Engineering Crane
- The Guntank was designed with the unique ability to use its railguns as a crane, with the Guntank's arms able to slide up along the bottom of the railgun barrels to act as winches. This gives the Guntank a secondary utility as a combat engineering vehicle able to perform tasks like vehicle recovery.
History[]
As part of the Federation's Operation V, the Guntank was one of the mobile suits being tested on Side 7 in U.C. 0079. Several Guntank chassis' were in the middle of being transported to the assault ship Pegasus when Zeon ace pilot Char Aznable and his team infiltrated the colony. Ultimately the disassembled Guntanks were destroyed by the Zeon MS-06 Zaku team.[2]
In U.C. 0085, the Guntank has since been repurposed as a civilian mobile suit for use in heavy construction.
