The RDG-3 Tigris was a custom transformable mobile suit developed by Randegger Heavy Industries as part of its RDG Series. It featured many thrusters across its body and their direction was controlled by a screw apogee that used Randegger’s patented Minovsky electromagnetism. The Tigris featured four legs that could be used as claws for work or combat and could move in different directions in a high speed ground combat form. In mobile armor mode, its “nose” section could open and close to perform “biting” attacks against enemy mobile suits. The Tigris’ armaments included vulcan guns, beam Gatling guns, a beam saber and a beam machine gun. The beam Gatling guns were part of a combined weapon system that could detach and function as a reconnaissance drone. In UC 0112, company CEO Oier Randegger and his subordinate Griselda Jiah used their Tigris units to once again attack the F90 Gundam F90 during its test missions. Both units were defeated by the F90N Gundam F90N N-Type. Griselda’s unit was destroyed in a suicide attack, but Oier survived and disappeared. Afterward, the Zeon remnant group Legacy acquired the Tigris’ data and reverse engineered it to create the mass produced OMS-1004 Tigris II.
