Along with many other Wunderwaffen, a single Rick Dom was planned to for conversion into a high-mobility anti-ship MS. To this end a Skiure Beam Cannon was diverted and rebuilt onto a more compact folding version that could be used by MS. Additional boosters pods and verniers were mounted on the Rick Dom’s for the attack phase. Weapons included the beam bazooka and a missile pod mounted behind the shoulders. It would see combat at the Battle of A’bao’qu but as a poorly tested one-off mobile suit. It was launched against the recommendations of its design team and test pilot. It would have a single successful sortie at S-field and mange to destroy a single Magellan-class before its beam bazooka overheated and had to be ejected. It barely evaded retaliation and succeed in returning to its hangar, but the verniers were burned out and frame over-stressed from the high acceleration, grounding it. It was captured and the barely functioning machine was scrapped after a brief evaluation by EFF forces. Armaments & Equipment: Prototype Folding Beam Bazooka: A modified Skiure Beam Cannon, stripped down and converted to a folding design. Hasty development made it unstable, overheating after one shot and exploding after ejection. Missile Pod: A 10-tube box launcher suitable for engaging ships. Booster Pods: Single use rocket thrusters diverted from damaged MS, mounted on the front and back skirts and ejected after burn. These accelerated the Zertorer to dangerous G-limits and nearly killed the pilot.
Pretty awesome
