The TMF/A-803 LaGOWE was a commander unit based on the earlier TMF/A-802P-Mod.W BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type. The LaGOWE featured the same double-edged beam saber as the BuCUE, but unlike the BuCUE its other fixed armament was a 2-barrel beam cannon mounted on the back. It was unknown how many LaGOWE units are constructed, but one was used in Africa by “Desert Tiger” Andrew Waltfeld and his lover, Aisha. That LaGOWE was destroyed in battle with Kira Yamato’s GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, killing Aisha and leaving Waltfeld injured with a missing eye and arm.
