Combat Characteristics
As a mobile armor the Realdo Hover Tank lacked the mobility of its mobile suit counterpart. However its hovering capabilities would have granted greater mobility then most wheeled vehicles.
The Realdo Hover Tank's design was meant for heavier firepower then the Realdo. The mobile armor lacks any form of close range melee weapons.
Armaments
Linear Cannon
The primary weapon of the Hover Tank, a cannon mounted on top of the hover tank, just over the head, that fires electromagnetically-accelerated live rounds. It would have greater range and firepower than the Realdo's linear rifle.
3-Barrel Machine Gun
Secondary weapon used to defend against mid and close range enemy targets.
3-Tube Missile Launcher
Secondary weapon used for mid range defense against ground and possibly air targets.
History
Appearing in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00F, the Realdo Hover Tank is the only Mobile Armor from the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations.
This unit appears briefly in episode 15 of the first season as a tank-like unit with the top half of the Union Realdo acting as the turret. Its main armament is a linear cannon, and the hands of the Realdo are replaced by a 3-barrel machine gun and a 3-tube missile launcher.
