AMS-123X VARGUIL
As the Universal Century entered the 0090s, a new main unit, inspired by the Zaku type, was secretly constructed within the Neo Zeon forces during the break in hostilities. Among them, a prototype was created as a Newtype-exclusive machine equipped with next-generation psycommu technology based on the new main unit. However, there were also mobile suits that could not meet the required specifications.
The Varguil was supposed to be one of the Newtype-exclusive machines developed for the upcoming Neo Zeon resurgence. However, the next-generation psycommu technology was recovered from the unit loaded onto the Atalanta 3. The cockpit returned to the conventional psycommu system, and several weapons were also removed at the same time.
The pilot of the suit is Ensign Agos Lagarto, a Cyber- Newtype raised in Neo Zeon’s Newtype Labs.
The Varguil stands as one among perhaps several prototypes, a stepping stone in the lineage leading to the creation of the Sazabi. It uses a generator 1.5 times the size of a Geara Doga and has Gundarium alloy armor. Numerous thrusters are positioned throughout its body, and the design aimed for lightweight construction.
Compared with other experimental mobile suits, it has superior speed and maneuverability numerically. However, during the difficult times when official adoption of the psycho frame being researched was still undecided, its output was not inferior to the psycho frame-equipped Jagd Doga (which would become the base for the Sazabi), though there was a considerable gap in psycommu performance. In terms of the psycommu-equipped mobile suit requested by Char, it was unable to escape the antiquated details and was instead considered a failure that lacked stability.
The funnel rack has six funnels, whose shape earns them their name. These funnels are similar to the Qubeley type but it seems that their charging capacity has been significantly increased because it is a size larger. The installed psycommu technology is Neo Zeon made but it doesn’t appear to work even with Cyber Newtypes. It is said that this funnel rack can be adopted to the next generation type of blade funnels with adjustments to parts.
When the grip is pulled back and the trigger is pulled, a single grenade round is launched.
The main thrusters are attached to the rear skirt armor and it is propelled by using it together with the vernier thrusters on the legs. The operation time can be extended with the propellant tanks attached to the funnel rack.
