{"title":"MS-09RS Char's Rick Dom","description":"\u003cp\u003eMS-09RS Rick Dom is the beam-weapon test variant of the MS-09R Rick Dom, built by Zeon during the One Year War. It is tied to two pilots: Char Aznable, who receives one in his colours after pursuing the 13th Autonomous Corps into space, and Anavel Gato, who flies one at Solomon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS exists because the beam bazooka began as a mobile armour weapon and needed a host with more generator output than a standard Rick Dom. In the novel continuity the conversion was done at A Baoa Qu after Kycilia Zabi's fleet withdrew there, using the Rick Dom's body-block structure. Char met the type in a mock battle against four Zaku IIs; Gato flew one at Solomon, which earned him the name Nightmare of Solomon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe chest gun doubles as a power buffer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe scattering beam cannon had been an energy supply terminal for beam weapons. On the RS it became an energy buffer, cutting strain on the connectors inside the arms so the suit could feed the bazooka.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe beam bazooka hits like a cruiser.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nIt compresses mega particles differently from the Federation's E-CAP system, needs time to charge, and its power is compared to a Musai-class cruiser's main gun. Low productivity kept it with veterans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChar did not rate it in close combat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nHe found the thrust impressive but the controls slippery and the altitude control weak; reaction times were too slow at close range and the recoil of clashing blades hard to manage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from P-Rex Hobby\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-Rex Hobby is a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vendors\"\u003eBandai Recommended Hobby Store\u003c\/a\u003e with 20,000+ customers served and \u003cspan data-prex-live=\"five-star-reviews\"\u003e1,800+\u003c\/span\u003e five-star reviews.
