A fire-support variant of the Venus Military Force's front line VMF01-2MS Serpent II, the Cannon Type is exactly as its name suggests: a Serpent II with big cannons. While the suit's pair of 360 mm cannons give the mobile suit enough punch to pose a serious threat to warships, the added encumbrance of the weapons is not offset by any additional boosters, impacting the suit's mobility severely. Due to this handicap, the mobile suit was often far from the front lines, providing fire support from some distance away.
