{"title":"TMF\/A-802 BuCUE","description":"\u003cp\u003eTMF\/A-802 BuCUE is ZAFT's four-legged ground mobile suit from \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED\u003c\/em\u003e (2002–03, C.E. 70–71). The Asimov Design Bureau, ZAFT's ground-combat design team, drew it, and the TMF\/A prefix stands for Terrestrial Maneuver Fighter\/Attacker. Andrew Waltfeld's corps is the unit most closely tied to the type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZAFT unveiled it on 15 March C.E. 70, and it made its combat debut on 30 May at the Battle of Suez, where Waltfeld's handling of the machine broke the Eurasian Federation's Linear Gun Tank corps at El Alamein. In C.E. 71 five BuCUEs of the Waltfeld Corps attack the \u003cem\u003eArchangel\u003c\/em\u003e after it lands in Africa, and large numbers are committed to Operation Spitbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt runs on treads as well as legs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nEach leg carries caterpillar treads, so the suit switches between a four-legged stance for broken ground and a cruising mode that folds the legs down for flat desert and snow. Thrusters in the wings let it turn hard, and one machine was rated a match for a tank platoon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe turret takes two different loads.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe base type has no fixed weapons. Its rotating back turret mounts either a twin 450 mm railgun with plasma-warhead rounds or a 13-tube 400 mm missile pod that fires in any direction, and the four-legged stance soaks up the recoil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe late type got beam sabers first.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nBecause its shape was poor at close quarters, late production machines were given a pair of beam sabers in the head ahead of other ZAFT suits, built from technology taken off the G Weapons and from CGUE DEEP Arms data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe belly is the weak point.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nArmour is concentrated at the front, and a single hit under the hull can be critical. Folding into cruising mode covers the abdomen, so that mode earns its keep even when speed is not the point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height: 11.07 m at the base of the turret, with a gross weight of 69.3 t, according to Bandai's official spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 7.7 cm, which covers the HG SEED kit\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.
