F-8 Brixen

Mobile Suit Name: F-8 Brixen

Armour/Armour Material: Gundarium Alloy Ceramic Composite

Height: 15.2 meters

Weight: 7.9 metric tons (empty) 34.6 metric tons (max weight)

Tier: Advanced

Weaponry: 2x beam sabers rather large and leaning closer towards the line of hyper beam sabers. Not quite the size of hyper beam sabers, however, their output is 1.5x that of a standard beam saber.

2x wired incoms similar in size and shape to those of the doven wolf, one store on each shoulder with the same output.

1x Beam shotgun, a rather self-explanatory fire-arm that is powered by E-caps or directly by the mobile suit, two extra E-caps are stored on the side skirts, one each. It shoots a rather wide area, but the beams diffuse to nothing past mid range, the output is similar to a normal shotgun, albeit with higher penetrating power considering the beam aspect.

1x prototype beam launcher, similar in design to the F91 MP type’s beam launcher, it has higher output overall, now at 3.4 MW, but is more unstable and requires a long cooldown period (1 shot a turn, 1 turn cooldown). It’s powered by a large E-cap, with no spares stored under the knowledge of the instability of the beam launcher, and is only capable of 6 shots. Stored on the back skirt when not in use.

2x G-blast knuckles, making the forearm cuffs of the mobile suit, they can fold down over the manipulators as knuckle dusters. The armor splits to reveal, for the lack of a better term, giant tasers. The G-blast knuckles can discharge a great amount of energy from the batteries in the arms (below the beam shields) to incapacitate a mobile suit and capture it and the pilot inside. (Here’s some out of rp stuff, so I’m dumb and I’m not sure what to say for power output, but something similar to the gouf custom’s heat wire taser.)

Equipment: Beam shield x2

History: Taking the concepts of both heavy armor and speed of suits like the sazabi test type or the Sturm doga, and the smaller, less armored but more agile and fast units like the Gun-EZ and other late UC mobile suits. This is an imperfect mix of the two, while originally intending to be an agile, small, and well-armored unit, it sacrificed most agility as well versatility that later UC mobile suits were known to have. While primarily focused on close combat, its only mid-ranged weapons are its wired incom units, and possibly the beam shotgun but that’s more of a stretch. It maintains the high speed and high defense, but sacrifices the nimble nature small mobile suits tend to have. It’s also the test-bed for the G-blast knuckles, a built-in set of blast knuckles with an electric discharge to mess with an opponent’s mobile suit operations.

Miscellaneous Performance Notes: The imperfect mix of concepts has led to a rather… clunky design, resulting in unorthodox proportions. The gunblaster’s backpacks internals were upgraded to be more suitable for a higher output machine, but they weren’t the initial design. Originally, the mobile suit was to be equipped with VSBR’s, but was later scrapped due to heat issues and Inadequate energy output to keep up with what the VSBR’s demanded as well as what the mobile suit’s equipment demanded. The prototype beam launcher leads into the clunky feel of the mobile suit even more, since the suit wasn’t originally designed with the gunblaster’s backpack in mind, but rather the more inconspicuous VSBRs which took less space, it can be rather troublesome to reach for the launcher.
