HG 1/144 FA-HWS Nu Gundam [Heavy Weapon System]

The ν Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type was designed to enhance the ν Gundam's functions in the event of the Second Neo Zeon War becoming prolonged. It is inspired by the F.S.W.S (Full-armor System and Weapon System) plan and provides higher defensive and offensive capabilities.

The improved defense is due to additional armor mounted on several parts of the body, and some of these armor pieces have built-in propellant tanks and thrusters to offset the added weight, such as its leg armor and thruster units, which were inspired by the Zeta series' leg structure. Meanwhile, its offensive power is boosted by shoulder missile launchers which are improved versions of the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam's, as well as more powerful beam rifle and shield known as hyper mega rifle and high mega shield respectively. All additional components were designed to be controlled via the Psycho-Frame, which also received improvements.
