Technical and Historical Notes
In preparation of the
expected conflict with Venus, Mars governor Milliardo Peacecraft, with
funding from the Winner Corporation, secretly designed and rebuilt the
original Gundams to meet the threat. Prototype Mobile Suits, Inc,
already well regarded by the governor for their refit of his Tallgeese
mobile suit, was again hired to
design and help build these upgraded Gundams.
The upgraded version of Trowa's distinctively armed Gundam improved on the suit's already impressive ranged arsenal of missiles and gattlings, largely with the addition of a twin beam gattling gun that was connected directly to the suit's reactor instead of requiring bullets. The downside of this, however, was the weapon's tendancy to overheat if Trowa was not careful with it as he discovered during his first sortie in the red Gundam. The suit also boasted a superior variety of optional armaments including a sniper cannon in place of the double gattling as well as a pair of anti-battlieship missile guns.
Heavyarms would serve as Trowa's personal mobile suit throughout the war, much to the increasing dismay of PMS founder Tiffany Geslacht.
