Technical
and Historical Notes
An improved
development over the original MRX-009
Psyco Gundam, the Titans' MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II was
very similar to its predecessor, equipped with a psycommu and
psycho-control chair to allow its Newtype or genetically-engineered
"cyber Newtype" pilot to control this massive mobile weapon
system with mere thoughts. Like the original, the Psyco Gundam
Mark II could also transform into a "mobile fortress" mode equipped
with a Minovsky craft system for atmospheric flight, although
its firepower was much more deadly than the MRX-009's.
Though armed with the same 3-barreled scattering mega particle
gun in its chest and beam gun fingers, the Psyco Gundam Mark
II also mounted 20 smaller beam guns all over its body, giving
it firepower capable of attacking targets in all directions.
Its forearms also mounted large-bladed beam swords, and could
be detached and directed at targets via a cable connection and
through the control of the Psyco Gundam Mark II's psycommu system,
giving the unit an all-range attack capability quite similar
to that of the Principality of Zeon's MSN-02
Zeong. The Psyco Gundam Mark II also carried a set of "reflector
bits," which were unarmed but used to redirect its own beam
weapons fire to targets that are out-of-sight, or to deflect
incoming enemy beam weapons fire. Another feature carried over
from previous Newtype-use Zeon mobile weapons was its detachable
head, which - in a fashion similar to the MSN-02
Zeong - could be flown and operated independently in the
case of jettison or destruction of the Psyco Gundam Mark II's
main body. Piloted by the powerful cyber Newtype Rosamia
Badam, all of these factors made the Psyco Gundam Mark II a
much, much deadlier foe for AEUG Zeta
Gundam pilot Kamille Bidan than the original Psyco
Gundam ever was, though he did manage to critically damage
it during a battle at the Gate of Zedan late during the Gryps Conflict. Almost a year later, Neo Zeon forces would retrieve the
wreckage of the Psyco Gundam Mark II and rebuild it, employing
it at the hands of their own Cyber Newtype pilot, Ple Two,
in their war against the AEUG.
