The Bromb Texter Production Type is a Man-Machine used by the Federation’s Man Hunters that appears in the novel Gaia Gear.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A completely redesigned unit with correct thruster placement, drastically enhanced armor, and an entirely different look. The Production Bromb Texter features "Solid Armor" pieces that were later adapted into the Gids Geese. It has amazing mobility; thanks to corrected thruster alignments and an improved Minovsky Craft System. It also has highly capable firepower thanks to a pair of shield-mounted missile launchers; that can be re-configured into funnel pods.

Armaments[]

  • Sand Barrel

Much like many Man Machine's of this era. The Production-type Bromb Texter can be equipped with an optional "Sand Barrel"; which is an airburst anti-missile/anti-funnel grenade launcher that is designed to disable remote weapons.

  • Beam rifle

An upgraded version of the Bromb Texter Pre-Production Type "Zero"'s beam rifle. The Production type's beam rifle has been modified to allow for heightened ranges and with a more precision-based output for sniping.

  • Beam saber

Concealed within the waist armor of the man machine, the Production Type Bromb Texter has a pair of beam sabers the unit can utilize in close combat with other enemy man machines.

  • Missile Launchers

The Bromb Texter Production Type's missile launchers are located along the launch tubes that line the outer rings of the unit's shields.

  • Shield

Built with two round, shoulder-mounted shields. The Bromb Texter Production Type can use these to defend itself from beam and projectile-based attacks. With the added benefit of being able to store several micro-missiles inside of the launch tubes that line it's outer ring. Ul Urian's Bromb Texter in particular, had these missile launchers opted out for the storing of it's prototype shield funnels.

  • Shield Funnels

Unlike what the name suggests, the production-type Bromb Texter's shield funnels are in fact beam-emitting funnels. Incorporated into the unit piloted by Ensign Ul Urian, the shield funnels occupy the launch tubes for the unit's original missile launchers; along the shield's outer ring. Once activated by the pilot via; the unit's psycommu device. The units funnels can then disperse and engage multiple targets simultaneously, from any angle the pilot wishes.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Psycommu Device
Exclusively installed on the Bromb Texter Unit piloted by Ul Urian, his personal Bromb Texter has been specially outfitted with an experimental psycommu device in the cockpit, so that it may better combat other newtype-use man machines; like the Gaia Gear α. However, the device that the unit possesses is one that was never intended for the average person to use. Making the device extremely dangerous and harmful to the pilot when used for prolonged periods of time.
  • Minovsky Barrier
Like the Gaia Gear α, RX-110 Refined Zorin Soul and Gids Geese, the Bromb Texter Production-Type makes use of an "M-Barrier", a highly-advanced and innovated version of the standard I-Field. Unlike a traditional I-field; which is designed to protect a mobile weapon for oncoming beam attacks. The M-Barrier makes use of a much more powerful iteration of the standard condensed minovsky particle field. This field can block beam energy attacks, but also has the added benefit of being able to shield the unit from physical weapons and guided projectiles. Although seemingly invincible, the M-Barrier has many drawbacks. It is susceptible to fast-moving and small objects, over-powering high levels of mega-beam energy, point-blank-range beam attacks, small pieces of flying debris and especially; explosive damage.
  • Interdict Board

To compete with the Gaia Gear α's atmospheric re-entry ability, the Bromb Texter is capable of docking with a re-entry flying-wing unit called an Interdict Board, much like the Re-GZ's Back Weapon System. It is an aircraft-like sub-flight unit designed for high-speed cruising and atmospheric re-entry and it operates similarly to that of the Re-GZ's own sub-flight unit; allowing to separate and detach from the main machine to allow for quicker battlefield deployment.

  • Universal Minovsky Drive Unit
This is a Minovsky Craft-based Drive Unit that extends the range and mobilty of the Bromb Texter Production and Improved Types. Using technology that was first pioneered over one-hundred years prior (in the forms of mobile suits like the RX-104FF Penelope and RX-105 Ξ Gundam,) the Bromb Texter's Minovsky Drive Unit acts as an enhanced atmospheric flight unit. The unit using Minovsky particles in conjunction with the unit's own M-Barrier generator to allow for long-distance flight.

History[]

A mainline unit of the manhunters, and used during the days of Bijon Dargol's failed coup against the Earth Federation government. The Production-Type Bromb Texter saw use as frontline ace and commander unit. The most notable units saw extensive use by Ensign Ul Urian and Leila Saber, members of Dargol's "Metatron Suppression Unit". The units within their ranks would be used to decimate the metatron forces led by Afranche Char; Urian's own unit even crippling the α000-0001 Gaia Gear α in a one-on-one duel using Urian's psycommu device he had forcefully implanted into the machine. However, the remaining units would be destroyed in later battles; along with Leila Saber's unit. The last surviving unit would be later upgraded into the Bromb Texter Improved Type.
