Technical and Historical Notes
|
The MA-06 Grandine was an extremely large mobile armor developed by the Space
Revolutionary Army during the 7th Space War to serve as a mobile garrison
headquarters and field artillery unit during the invasion of Earth. Its primary
weapon was an extremely powerful photon particle launcher cannon, capable
of delivering devastating damage to targets at extremely long range. For
closer defense, the Grandine was also armed with four large-caliber anti-aircraft
gun turrets. Although it had four legs for walking, it could only travel
like this at extremely slow speeds. Instead, it was equipped with hovering
systems for rapid transport over rough terrain.
It is unknown exactly how many Grandines were built, but at least one unit
on Earth survived the cataclysmic end of the 7th Space War. By AW 0015, it
had fallen into the possession of Homer Carnative, chief of a Newtype research
laboratory in North America. Carnative had offered a contract to Gundam Virsago
pilot Shagia Frost to locate and kidnap the Newtype girl Tifa Adil, and bring
the girl to Carnative for study at the Newtype lab. After Shagia and his
younger brother Olba had delivered the "merchandise", they left to fight
nearby Vulture forces. Carnative wished to sever his ties to the Frost brothers,
and attempted to use his Grandine mobile armor to destroy them (as well as
the Vultures they had kidnapped Tifa from) with its particle cannon. However,
Vulture pilot Garrod Ran, aided via telepathic link from Tifa through ex-Newtype
Jamil Neate, was able to target and destroy the Grandine with the Gundam
X's satellite cannon.
