Me02R-F01 Messer Type F-01

The Me02R-F01 Messer Type F-01 was a general purpose mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics in UC 0105 for the anti-Federation military group Mafty. The Messer series was created as part of the same line as older Neo Zeon mobile suits developed by Anaheim, including the AMS-119 Geara Doga and MSN-04 Sazabi. The Messer incorporated Zeon-like design elements like rounded armor and spiked shield, presumably to hide Anaheim’s connection to Mafty, but it also featured elements like chest-mounted air intakes from Earth Federation Forces mobile suits. The Messer mounted heavy armor across its body, but it featured high maneuverability and mobility thanks to the main thrusters on its back and sub thrusters on the legs and hips. The Messer’s armaments included vulcan guns, beam sabers (the same type as the RGM-89 Jegan), a long beam rifle and a large shield that could store additional beam sabers and E-packs for the rifle. In April UC 0105, several Messer units attacked the Philippine city Davao where several Federation cabinet ministers were staying ahead of a government conference in Adelaide.
