The AMA-953 BABI is a Mobile Suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The BABI is the successor of the AMF-101 DINN and is designated as an "Aerial Maneuver Attacker", thus the "AMA" in its code number. It was developed to maintain ZAFT's air superiority in the face of new flight capable MS deployed by the Earth Alliance and Orb Union, and can transform into a MA mode for high-speed flying by unfolding its wings and folding its legs onto its back. The BABI not only improve on the DINN's weak attack power and insufficient armor, it also has better flight performance and aerial combat capabilities.[1] It is equipped with a variety of beam and shell-based weaponry,[1] and some of its internal parts are compatible with those of the ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited.[2]

Armaments[]

  • MGX-2237 "Ardor" Multi-Phase Beam Cannon
Mounted in the chest, the "Ardor" Multi-Phase Beam Cannon is the suit's strongest weapon and can be used in MS mode to destroy enemy units in front, or in MA mode to attack facilities on the ground.
  • QFJ91 12-barrel Missile Launcher
Mounted on the wings, the missile launchers are mainly used in MA mode to attack enemy units or for bombarding enemy facilities.
  • MMI-GAU2436 22.5mm 4-barrel Machine Gun
The BABI has four such machine guns, two on each wing. These machine guns are mainly used in MA mode for intercepting enemy's attacks.
  • MA-M343 Beam Rifle
A handheld beam rifle, it is usually held by the right hand and serves as a mid-range combat weapon.
  • MMI-M182 Aerial Gun-launcher
The suit's second handheld weaponry, it is usually held by the left hand and is capable of firing both large caliber shells and missiles.[1]

History[]

Second Alliance-PLANT War[]

The AMA-953 BABI was introduced just after the declaration of the Second Alliamce-PLANT War in late C.E. 73, as ZAFT's latest aerial mobile suit, designed to replace the older AMF-101 DINN. The BABI was assigned to ZAFT bases across Earth, including Carpentaria Base.[3] In early C.E. 74, six BABIs were deployed at Diocuia Base during the pursuit of a shuttle stolen by Lacus Clyne and Andrew Waltfeld, but these units were swiftly disabled by the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam.[4] They were later used in important battles like the one in Berlin, where they tried to stop the massive GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam.[5] Other units were used in the Logos capture operation during the attack on Heaven's Base as well as Operation Fury, during which ZAFT attacked the Orb Union.[6]
