A reworking Cellular Go well with, eh? Looks as if that may take some severe robo-tech to drag off. However the MAN-03 Kikeroga does it.
Most cell fits function in a single configuration. Certain, perhaps they’ll rearm themselves with totally different weapons, utilizing beam rifles and beam bazookas and different issues as missions demand. However by and huge, they’re the form they’re, for higher or worse. However the MAN-03 Kikeroga, out of the GQuuuuuuX universe defies this custom and transforms. It is also designed for Newtypes. And weirdly sufficient, a lot of the improvements got here after the One Yr Battle.
MAN-03 Kikeroga Design And Capabilities
When it was designed, the Kikeroga was constructed with Newtype pilots in thoughts. The Flanagan Institute shared its secret analysis information with the engineers, and the Psycommu System was built-in within the cell go well with’s design, alongside weaponry designed to reap the benefits of a Newtype pilot’s psychowave transmissions.
Within the case of the Kikeroga, this meant a fairly of wire-guided twin mega particle cannons, mounted to the highest and backside of the cell go well with’s authentic “ship-based” design. In contrast to bits, these are related to the cell armor through lengthy cables to fireside independently or docked as turrets. These particle cannons have been considerably upgraded, and have been mentioned to be able to melting even anti-beam armor.
Two extra wire-guided mega particle cannons have been on the left and proper sides of the ship type. These additionally operated independently or as turrets, however had barely much less energy to them. However with the wires totally prolonged, the Kikeroga may have interaction as much as 4 targets without delay, or ship lethal, concentrated blasts of firepower from sudden angles to a single goal.
However the actual kicker was the Modular Separating Physique that allowed it to separate into totally different sections for testing functions, in addition to to turn into a transformable machine. After the One Yr Battle, and after the treaty banning Psycommu-equipped weapons, the Kikeroga was upgraded with a metamorphosis drive, permitting it to change from ship mode to MS mode.
When reworking, the only wire-guided mega particle cannons and their docking pylons lock in and separate, changing into the MS legs. The dual mega particle cannons shift to the edges, changing into the cell go well with’s arms.
A ultimate advantage of the transformation system/modular design is that the Kikeroga has an escape module. The cockpit module can detach from the principle physique, changing into its personal little escape craft that’s outfitted with a single beam cannon.
From The Flanagan Institute To Aspect 6 – A Historical past
The Kikeroga was first deployed within the latter days of the One Yr Battle. Alongside Char Anzable within the gMS-α Purple Gundam, the MAN-03, piloted by Cpt. Challia Bull, was completely devastating to the Earth Federation Forces. The vessel was nicknamed the Gray Phantom.
After the peace treaty was signed, and Psycommu weapons prohibited, the Kikeroga was taken out of the general public eye and quietly upgraded with the power to rework. This functionality was largely unknown and exceptional till it was deployed to Aspect 6 in U.C. 0085. There, Challia would pilot the MAN-03 in fight towards the MRX-010 Psycho Gundam, destroying the cell armor and saving Kycilia Zabi. Following an intense battle, Challia pursued the gMS-Ω Gundam QuuuuuuX and captured it, bringing it again to the assault service, Sodon.
Ultimately, thoough the Kikeroga and the Purple Gundam confronted off towards one another. After the loss of life of Kycilia Zabi, Challia turned his cell go well with towards Char’s in damaging fight. The 2 cell fits ultimately destroyed one another, and each Char and Challia escape of their respective escape modules, leaving the way forward for Zeon open to a brand new path.
A lot Newtype, so little time!
