{"title":"RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eRX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam is not a new mobile suit but the docked form of the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II and the FXA-05D G-Defenser in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Zeta Gundam\u003c\/em\u003e (1985, U.C. 0087). Anaheim Electronics built the G-Defenser as a support fighter so the Mk-II could match the Titans' transforming machines. The pairing is formally the Mk-II Defenser; Super Gundam is the name that stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmma Sheen first takes it into action in a clash between the AEUG's \u003cem\u003eRadish\u003c\/em\u003e and the Titans' \u003cem\u003eAlexandria\u003c\/em\u003e, a sortie that ends with the enemy bridge destroyed by a shot meant for Yazan Gable's Gaplant. The combination flies again at Gryps, and once the G-Defenser's parts are shot away Emma finishes the fight in the bare Mk-II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt assembles itself in two stages.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe G-Defenser and the Mk-II launch separately. The support craft first clamps on whole, making the high-speed G-Flyer travelling form, and only then does its cockpit capsule detach to leave the Super Gundam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe add-on buys about twenty percent more mobility.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe G-Defenser's thrusters raise the Mk-II's mobility by roughly a fifth, and its armament units swing round to work as movable shields covering the suit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe long rifle feeds off the Mk-II itself.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nLinked to the suit's power circuit by external cables, the G-Defenser's long rifle reaches an output compared with the Hyaku Shiki's mega bazooka launcher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Mk-II has to throw its shield away to dock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThere is no room for the shield once the support craft is attached, so it goes overboard during docking.
