The RX-77AQ Guncannon Aqua is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt and its ONA version. It is piloted by Bianca Carlyle.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A mobile suit developed from the Guncannon for underwater combat.[1] Its chest, knee and backpack are equipped with hydrojets for underwater propulsion.[1] Instead of the original's 240mm Cannons and Beam Rifle, the Guncannon Aqua is instead armed with Torpedo Launch Tubes, Needle Gun and Beam Sabers.[1][2] The version depicted in the manga has red color scheme similar to the original Guncannon, while the ONA version has a blue color scheme.

Armaments[]

  • Needle Gun
A special rifle that uses compressed air to launch solid metal needles that can pierce most armor, including those of submarines and amphibious mobile suits.
  • Torpedo Launch Tube
Mounted on the back, six on each side of the backpack.
  • Beam Saber
Stored in the side armor, it emits a blade-shaped beam for cutting and piercing enemy mobile suits. Can be used on land or in the water, but with lower effectiveness.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Core Block System

History[]

In August UC 0080, Bianca Carlyle of the assault carrier Spartan engaged a Zeon remnant MSM-03 Gogg at Antarctica. The Guncannon Aqua was severely damaged during the battle, necessitating its disassembly to conduct repairs.

In the manga, it was later deployed in a squadron with 3 RB-79[M] Ball Marine Types to capture the potential pilots for Psycho Zaku Mk-II units at the Rig. During the chase of Prober-class submarine carrying the pilots, it was hit by mines in Frizzy Yard, resulting in damages to its left arm and core area. It then surfaced due to a hull breach and was later found on a nearby flooded town. After the Guncannon Aqua was repaired, it was retrofitted for land use and underwent training with the RX-78AL Atlas Gundam and the 3 RX-79[GS] Gundam Ground Type S. After this, the Guncannon Aqua was loaded on Landing Craft 3 (Orestes) and deployed at Taal volcano to stop the Psycho Zaku Mk-II units' launch.

With Atlas Gundam's help, Bianca breached the enemy base's submarine launch gate, but was separated from Io after the base's defense mechanisms activated. The Guncannon Aqua then engaged several RRf-06 Zanny, but had difficulty destroying them because Bianca could only use the Needle Gun. Dent and Orphe's timely arrival saved Bianca, providing her with a Beam Rifle and destroying several enemy MS. After this, they attempted to join up with Io, and chanced upon the Living Dead Division's engineers transporting the completed Psycho Zaku Mk-II unit 2 to Daryl Lorenz. The three attempted to seize the Psycho Zaku Mk-II, but an ambush from a Zaku Tank damaged the Guncannon Aqua. While Bianca ejected to safety, her mobile suit was lost when its reactor exploded.
