GAT-X094 Pincer

This article, GAT-X104 Dive Gundam, is property of Mnzombie. The GAT-X104 Dive Gundam is an amphibious prototype mobile suit.

Technology/Combat Characteristics
As the Bloody Valentine War dragged on, Morgenroete began collaberating with the Earth Alliance to develop mobile suits to counter ZAFT. The Pincer could basically be considered to be a "missing link" between the ZGMF-515B CGUE Breaker and the Gundams given to the EA.

The purpose of the Pincer was to test newly developed beam weaponry. However, the suit was built before the finalization of phase shift armor. To compensate, Morgenroete gave it numerous thrusters to allow the Pincer to dodge rather than endure damage.

The Pincer boasts superior speed, agility, and self-sustained atmospheric flight over ZAFT's and its capabilities were achieved through the incorporation of powerful thrusters in its shoulders, waist, and back with two large-capacity fuel tanks in its back to keep the thrusters fueled.

For close combat, the suit has a pair of grappling claws in place of hands. For ranged combat, the Pincer mounts a pair of beam launchers.

Armaments

 * Beam Launcher
 * The standard weapons of the Pincer are a pair of duel purpose beam guns/sabers which are connected to the forearms. When used as beam guns, the weapons remain mounted in the forearms, but when used as beam sabers they are hand carried.


 * Grappling Claw
 * The hands of the mobile suit are actually powerful grappling claws, capable of crushing mobile suit armor with little effort.

Booster Unit
The Pincer is equipped with several high-ouput thrusters.

History
To counter ZAFT's advanced mobile suits, the EA's Atlantic Federation secretly collaborated with Morgenroete to develop their own series of mobile suits under the G Project.
