The LM314V24 Victory 2 Assault Gundam is one of several upgrades to the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Victory Gundam. It is piloted by Uso Ewin.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Victory 2 Assault Gundam is the Victory 2 Gundam with additional armor and weaponry, enhancing its assault and melee-combat capabilities. While the mobile suit's mobility and maneuverability are slightly reduced by the added armor on its shoulders, waist and knees, they grant it better protection against physical projectiles and beam attacks.
These added armor are actually reactive armor that break apart upon being hit to protect the Victory Gundam underneath. To defend against beam attacks, these armor have gold-colored, anti-beam coating on the surface, but the coating's effectiveness is reduced with each hit. Additionally, the added shoulder armor are equipped with I-Field generators, allowing the Victory 2 Assault Gundam to generate a powerful anti-beam barrier.
The Victory 2 Assault Gundam's defense is further boosted by a mega beam shield that can generate an extremely large beam shield and is equipped with barrier bits to defend against attacks from various directions. To enhance the mobile suit's offensive power, a pair of VSBRs (Variable Speed Beam Rifle) are mounted on the side skirt and a high-output mega beam rifle can be utilized in place of the standard beam rifle.
Armaments[]
- Head Vulcan
- A basic armament of many mobile suits, a pair are mounted on the Victory 2 Gundam's head. The Vulcan Guns are mainly for intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and engaging lightly-armored vehicles.
- Beam Rifle
- A standard hand carried ranged beam weapon is the beam rifle, which fires concentrated mega particles that can damage any ordinary armor not specially treated to resist it.
- Beam Pistol
- The beam pistol is the core unit of the Victory 2 Assault's beam rifle. When required, parts of the beam rifle can be ejected to reveal the beam pistol.
- Multi-Launcher
- Mounted below the barrel of the Victory 2 Assault's beam rifle, it can load and fire various physical projectile.
- Grenade Launcher
- A grenade launcher can be mounted below the Victory 2 Assault's beam rifle's barrel in place of the Multi-Launcher.
- Beam Saber
- The beam sabers are powerful melee weapons that emit a blade of plasma contained by an I-field. The V2 Assault Gundam stores two beam sabers in storage racks located in each forearms, for a total of four beam sabers.
- Beam Shield
- The V2 Assault Gundam is equipped with two beam shields, mounted on the forearms. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. This plane is divided into multiple sections, which can be turned on or off as needed to conserve energy. Individual sections are also automatically deactivated whenever they're in danger of coming into contact with the mobile suit itself.
- Mega Beam Rifle
- A high output beam cannon with an open mega particle compression-accelerator device. It is an enhanced, lighter version of the LM312V04+SD-VB03A V-Dash Gundam's Beam Smart Gun.
- Mega Beam Shield
- A shield that mounts 3 barrier bits which can be deployed to produce an extremely large beam shield. The bits' positions can be changed freely to defend against enemies' attacks.
- VSBR
- A pair of Variable-Speed Beam Rifles (VSBRs) are mounted on the hardpoints on the suit's side armor and powered by the suit's reactor. They can fire either low-speed beams with high destructive power, or high-speed beams with high penetrating power, sufficient to destroy two MS with one shot or pierce a beam shield.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Custom Targeting Sensor
- The Victory 2 Assault Gundam is outfitted with a unique targeting sensor stored in the mobile suit's helmet that slides over the left eye when in use for highly detailed and precise targeting.
- Hardpoint
- Hardpoints are attachment points for carrying any compatible weapons or equipment externally, and are standard equipment for all League Militaire mobile suits. The Victory 2 Gundam is equipped with ten hardpoints: two on each arm, one on each side armor, and two more on each leg.
- I-Field Generator
History[]
The V2 Assault Gundam was first seen after Katejina Loos's ZMT-S33S Gottrlatan destroyed the mega beam cannon and beam spray pod of the Assault-Buster configuration. Uso then battled the Gottrlatan and the surrounding Einrad squadron before infiltrating the Angel Halo. Once inside, the "bikini squadron" (the pilots of the Einrad squad Uso encountered outside) attacked the V2 Assault with rocket launchers, destroying its armor and reverting the suit back to its original Victory 2 Gundam form.
It is later deployed for the final battle on Earth against the remaining Zanscare forces, where it defeated Cronicle Asher's ZMT-S34S Rig Contio as well as successfully defending against the Gottrlatan's Mega Beam Cannon with the Wings of Light, before Uso used the Gundam to rescue Shakti, who descended from the Angel Halo, marking the end of the war.
