TMF/A-803 LaGOWE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a fictional weapon from the Cosmic Era timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries.
The TMF/A-803 LaGOWE is a quadrupedal commander-type mobile suit used by ZAFT and designed for ground combat. It is generally similar to the TMF/A-802 BuCUE, but is slightly larger and has a two-seat cockpit for both a pilot and a gunner. The LaGOWE is equipped with a double-bladed beam saber in its mouth, a pair of powerful beam cannons on its back turret, and also mounts a two "leg spike" claws on each foot. The first LaGOWE was assigned to "Desert Tiger" Andrew Waltfeld, whose lover Aisha served as his gunner. It engaged in battle with Kira Yamato's GAT-X105 Strike, but was defeated. Waltfeld survived, but not without the cost of his left arm, a leg, and an eye; Aisha died in the battle. Later into the war, three LaGOWE's engaged Rena Imelia's GAT/A-01E2 Buster Dagger, which was receiving support from Edward Harrelson's GAT-333 Raider Full Spec. All three LaGOWE units were destroyed by Imelia.
