One of many Gundam F90 optional armament variations developed by the Earth Federation Forces' SNRI during the UC 0110s and 0120s, the F90A Gundam F90 Assualt Type (or "A-Type", for short) was designed to perform surgical strikes against enemy bases and encampments. Equipped with a set of Minovsky craft unit/propellant tank packs on its arms and legs, the F90 A-type could hover through the atmosphere, allowing it to quietly approach its target. In additon to its standard vulcan guns, beam sabers, and mega beam bazooka, the A-Type was also fitted with a large weapon/booster pack on its shoulders and backpack, which housed a pair of beam cannons, machine guns, and machine cannons over the mobile suit's shoulders and mounted four extra rocket thrusters to provide additional conventional propulsion and to help overcome the weight of the added-on hardware. This uniform weapon/booster pack design required that the mobile suit's shoulders be locked into place, leaving the A-Type's AMBAC (Active Mass Balance AutoControl) to be handled mostly by its legs.
