ETM-21 Maruader

The ETM-21 Marauder is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: White.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Marauder is a mass produced mobile weapon that utilizes mostly melee weapons. The mobile suit was created as simple as possible to be low in debt and be 'recycled'.

Because it was the first mobile suit with interchangeable parts, most of the operational system is behind in technology. Problems include: arm failures, vision failure, and random shut downs. However, if a Marauder is damaged in battle, it could quickly change any parts needed and head back into battle.

The armor it uses is titanium, for it is light and the mobile suit's frame is meant for close-quarters. In conclusion, it has great mobility.

Armaments

 * Charged Paton
 * The charged paton is used as the Marauder's primary weapon. It acts as a tazer and overloads most of what it comes into contact with. It could also injure the pilot of a mobile suit, depending on the output.


 * CIWS
 * Since the Marauder is without ranged weapons, it was outfitted with the CIWS, gatling guns stored in its torso. It's used to shoot down armoured vehicles or missles, if needed


 * Beam Saber
 * The beam saber stored in its side skirt is the Marauder's secondary weapon. The beam is technically a very hot beam of fire concentrated in a blade. It cuts through most armour.


 * Simple Shoulder-mounted shield
 * This shield is made out of a thick layer of titanium. It can block most standard bullets from an armoured vehicle or a Zaku IIs machine gun.
