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 F90S Gundam F90 Support Type (or "S-Type", for
short) was designed to act as a long-range, heavy fire support
unit. Its primary armament was the pair of backpack-mounted
railcannons, which were also attached to the shoulders for extra
stability while being fired. Additional stability was also provided
by a pair of slim, telescoping support legs mounted on the rear
skirt armor's weapon mount and which extended from the mobile
suit's rear down to the ground. More heavy firepower came in
the form of 4-barrel beam cannons mounted over the forearms,
each of which also had a 2-tube missile launcher attached to
them. The S-Type F90 also carried a pair of long-range cruise
missiles, mounted on launch rails on the legs. With all of these
features, the S-Type was well-equipped to perform heavy, long-range
strikes and bombardments of enemy targets.
