When the Dianna Counter forces arrive on Earth to begin colonization, they bring a variety of mobile suits with them, including the MRC-F20 SUMO. One of the most famous SUMOs during the conflict is the gold colored unit piloted by Royal Guard captain Harry Ord. The standard model, however, comes in a white-silver color. As the acronym implies, the SUMO is meant for maneuvering. It's short and light weight, much like the Earth Militia's SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam. In fact, both the SUMO and the Turn A share the same pelvis cockpit system. When Loran Cehack abandons the Turn A with his Core Fighter, Gym Ghingnham has a SUMO cockpit retrofitted onto the Turn A for use by his own forces. Though the SUMO is designed mainly for use in space or on the Moon, it's quite versatile on Earth as well. The addition of a skirt-like flight booster allows extended flight or flight high in the Earth's atmosphere. The SUMO's armaments consist mainly of a powerful hand beam gun, as well as a heat fan that serves as a melee weapon. Another weapon in the SUMO's arsenal is the IF generator, a device that allows the SUMO to create an I-field. When several SUMO units use their IF generators together, it creates a powerful force field to hold another suit in place.
