Description
From the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam Seed comes the ZGMF-515 R07 MOBILE CGUE
This 1/144th scale High Grade Gundam Seed kit-set contains:
- Parts to build CGUE
- MA-M21G Beam Rifle
- M7070 28mm Vulcan System Shield
- MMI-M7S 76mm Heavy Assault Machine Gun
- MA-M4A Heavy Blade
Developed by the Heinlein Design Bureau, the same military design bureau responsible for the ZGMF-1017 GINN, the CGUE was intended to be a successor for the GINN that specializes in space combat while retaining the ability to function on Earth. As such, while much of its structure was similar to the GINN, its thrusters and weapons all received a major overhaul. Compared to its predecessor, its thruster nozzles and heat vents were enlarged, improving its mobility and maneuverability.
Its weapons consisted of improved models of the assault machine gun and heavy blade used by the GINN, as well as a new shield with a built-in Vulcan cannon, which was mounted on the left arm hardpoint.
Despite having performance that surpassed the GINN’s, the CGUE never reached the mass production stage. This was because the CGUE was deemed insufficient to be ZAFT’s new mainstay mobile suit following the capture of the Earth Alliance’s G Weapons, prototype mobile suits equipped with Phase Shift Armor and beam weaponry. This led to ZAFT’s decision to prioritize the development and mass production of the newer, beam weaponry equipped ZGMF-600 GuAIZ over the CGUE. The few CGUEs that were produced were assigned to commanders like Rau Le Creuset.
