The RGM-89R Jegan A-Type (aka Jegan Type R) is a mobile suit introduced in the Mobile Suit Gundam F91 movie.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The RGM-89R Jegan A-Type is a high mobility variant of the RGM-89J Jegan Normal Type for use within space colonies.[1] It features improvement in communication systems, additional thrusters on various parts of its body, enlarged backpack and a generator with higher output.[1] Among the Jegan series, the Jegan A-Type has the highest thruster output[1] and generator output. Its armament is quite similar to the Jegan Normal Type, but replaces the hip-mounted grenade rack with a second beam saber rack, and has a new twin grenade launcher on its left forearm.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Pod System
A rapid-fire, close-range defensive armament mounted on the left side of the Jegan A-Type's head. Unlike those of other Jegans, the Jegan A-Type's Vulcan Pod System is a double-barreled type and a large sensor is added to the top.
  • Twin Grenade Launcher
The Jegan A-Type is equipped with a dual chamber grenade launcher on its left forearm. When firing the grenades, the shield on the left forearm can swivel to avoid collision.
  • Beam Saber
A beam weapon for close combat. It is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating. The Jegan A-Type has two beam sabers, one stored in each side armor.
  • Beam Rifle
An E-pack type rifle with a higher output than the conventional beam rifle, and is larger than the Jegan Normal Type's beam rifle. This beam rifle model is also used by the Jegan B-Type. The Jegan A-Type can also use the Jegan Normal Type's beam rifle.
  • Shield
A standard defensive armament to protect against physical attacks and has anti-beam coating on its surface for defending against beam attacks. The Jegan A-Type's shield has a swivel mount and a pair of quadruple missile launchers.

History[]

Introduced in the early UC 0090s, the RGM-89 Jegan was upgraded over the three decades of its service life. The RGM-89J Jegan Normal Type eventually took over as the Jegan series' basic model, and it had two variants: the RGM-89R Jegan A-Type and the RGM-89M Jegan B-Type.[1] The Jegan A Type was usually assigned to experienced pilot or commander because of its high mobility. It was able to fight on par with Oldsmobile Army's RF series, but was not as agile as the miniaturized machines as RGM-109 Heavygun and F71 G-Cannon. One Jegan A-Type was piloted by Wilder Katz, and it was used during the second Oldsmobile War escorting Bergh Scred and the F90 Gundam F90. As the battles progressed, Wilder switched the position of the mobile suit's forearms and opted for the Jegan Normal Type's Beam Rifle.[2] [3]

The Jegan A-Type was horribly out-of-date by the time Crossbone Vanguard rolled out its miniaturized mobile suit. This was shown in UC 0122, when Wilder's Jegan A-Type fought with a XM-01 Den'an Zon to buy time so Bergh and the F90 could launch into space. Despite his best effort, Wilder was outmaneuvered by the Den'an Zon and killed when his mobile suit cockpit was hit.[4] The inability of the Jegan A-Type to keep up with the miniaturized mobile suits was shown again clearly during the invasion of the Frontier Side by the Crossbone Vanguard in UC 0123.[5]
