Technical and Historical Notes

A Newtype-use transformable mobile armor developed at the Titans' Augusta Newtype Laboratory, the NRX-055 Baund Doc was perhaps one of the strangest and most unique mobile weapons developed during the Gryps Conflict. Despite its apparant size and bulk, the Bound Doc's half-egg-shaped mobile armor mode was very fast and maneuverable, equally capable of offensive and defensive operations, and it transformed into a non-symmetrical mobile suit form armed with a beam rifle and beam saber for standard one-on-one combat, as well as a powerful scattering mega particle gun mounted in its large left arm for attacking several targets at once. It was equipped with a psycommu ("psychic communicator") system which allowed its pilot to more directly interface with the Baund Doc's operation. Although normal human pilots could operate this transformable mobile weapon, its true potential only came out in the hands of a genetically-engineered "Cyber Newtype" or a natural Newtype. Only three units were constructed, designated NRX-055-1 through NRX-055-3. Unit 055-1 was the prototype, and its cockpit was set up with two seats - one for the pilot, and another for an instructor/operator. All three units would prove to be deadly foes for the AEUG, although none of the Baund Docs would survive the war.
