The Bug is an automated bit from the Mobile Suit Gundam F91 film.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A disk-shaped autonomous anti-personnel sensitive killing weapon. It is designed to target humans only, using human heat detection, carbon dioxide reaction, and motion sensors, in order to suppress colony facilities without causing more damage than necessary. Commonly known as the "Parent Bug," the moving body, which is less than four meters long, floats, flies, and rotates by Minovsky craft and verniers, and uses 24 chainsaws that rotate at high speed to chop up targets, including vehicles and equipment. The chainsaws are powerful enough to cut through even Gundarium alloy.

When the parent bug unit cannot enter a shelter, it releases a small disk unit, known as a "child bug," which is housed inside. The child bugs infiltrate buildings and other structures by rotating a small laser and eight blades, and attack with self-destruct explosives when necessary. The control itself is mechanical and monotonous, based on autonomous behavior, and it does not or does not seem to be able to take evasive maneuvers, and it will charge at the target, regardless of the certainty of its own destruction.

History[]

They were secretly installed on a Zamouth Garr-class ship and used on Frontier I Colony inhabitants in March, U.C. 0123. Gillet Krueger claims the Bug units have the ability to "exterminate a Frontier population of 3 millions within two to three days".

Trivia[]

  • Dialogue between Iron Mask and Gillet Krueger imply that the Bugs have the ability to self-replicate. However, this ability was never seen and not explained in any source books.
