Technical
and Historical Notes
|
One of many
Gundam F90 optional armament variations
developed by the Earth Federation Forces' SNRI during the UC 0110s
and 0120s, the F90D Gundam F90 Destroid Type (or "D-Type", for
short) was designed to work as a balance between a bulky long-range
fire support unit and a lighter and faster close-combat unit.
The heavy firepower was provided by its arm-mounted rocket launchers,
the rocket-propelled grenades carried on its shoulders, a pair
of MS cracker grenades, and the mega Gatling gun mounted on
the left side of its torso. When the ammo for these weapons
was expended or the D-Type had finished bombarding its target
area, these weapons could be ejected and the D-Type F90 could
move in, using its more conventional vulcan guns, beam sabers,
and beam rifle at close range to perform mop-ups and finish
the job.
