The SPA-51 Cannon Illefuto is an artillery mobile suit introduced in ∀ Gundam. It was designed by Junya Ishigaki.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

An excavated artillery mobile suit dating back to the Dark History, the Cannon Illefuto has high firepower due to the backpack-mounted five-barrel gatling gun. Others armaments include a vulcan gun on the left side of its head and an arm-mounted shield with integrated beam saber emitter for close-quarters combat. Despite this, it fares poorly in close range. Thanks to the maintenance by the Dianna Counter, its operability is improved.

Armaments

• 5-barrel Gatling Gun

Mounted on the backpack, this spinning, five-barrel weapon has a rapid rate of fire and serves as the Cannon Illefuto's main armament. It is relatively large compared to the mobile suit itself.

• Vulcan Gun

A single gun pod mounted in the left side of the Cannon Illefuto's head. It is useful in intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and engaging lightly-armored vehicles.

• Shield

Mounted on the left forearm, this physical shield not only serves as a defensive armament, but can also emit a beam saber from a small opening at the bottom. This offensive feature was not utilized during its brief battle against the Inglessa and Luzianna Militias.

Notes & Trivia

• Its overall height is noted to be less than 15 meters (15m弱).
