Technical
and Historical Notes
|
One of several "powered up" variants of the basic LM314V21
Victory 2 Gundam, the League Militaire's LM314V23/24 V2 Assault-Buster
Gundam combined the mega beam cannon of the LM314V23
V2 Buster Gundam and the offensive/defensive capabilities
of the LM312V24 V2 Assault Gundam
for increased offensive power. This variant was created by League
Militaire engineers as a stopgap to keep up with the increasing
number of high performance Zanscare mobile suits. However, equipping
both the mega beam cannon and the armor plates significantly
cut down the speed of the V2 Assault-Buster Gundam, making its
maximum acceleration less than that of the basic LM314V21
Victory 2 Gundam.
