Technology & Combat Characteristics
A modified version of the TMF/A-802 BuCUE used by "Desert Tiger" Andrew Waltfeld, the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type is strengthened for close combat with the addition of two head-mounted saber fangs and foreleg-mounted leg spikes. Unlike the normal BuCUE, this unit is equipped with a two-seater cockpit for a pilot and a gunner, who also serves as a navigator. It also has modified power and drive system, and complementing these modifications are changes to the materials used in certain parts of the unit. As a result, its output is improved by 17% and the maximum moving speed, when the treads are not used, is increased by 21%. These give it better maneuverability and close combat capability, but on the flipside, its balance is not as good as BuCUE's and makes controlling the unit difficult.
Besides the saber fangs and leg spikes, the BuCUE Waltfeld Custom Type also mounts the same back-mounted 13-tube missile pod as the normal BuCUE, which could be switched for twin 450mm railgun. Although ZAFT was already studying beam weaponry at this time, this BuCUE variant does not feature any but its modified power system was designed to be capable of supporting beam sabers. Originally, this machine was a new equipment demonstration platform for the the TMF/A-803 LaGOWE and not intended for actual combat operations, but Waltfeld forcibly commandeered it as his personal machine due to its high performance.
Armaments
* MA-M4F Saber Fang
Two cutters made of a special alloy are equipped on the head. This armament is reminiscent of the saber tiger's fangs, but it was not adopted for the LaGOWE because it posed a major obstacle to its operation and transportation in base facilities and during urban warfare.
* D55G Leg Spike
A pair of spikes mounted on the foot of each forelegs. They increase the close combat capability of the unit.
* MMI-M10W Twin 450mm Railgun
One of two weapons that can be mounted on the turret on the suit's back, this twin barrel railgun uses electricity to accelerate the projectiles. The projectiles are fitted with plasma warheads that can destroy a Linear Tank with a single blow. Due to the BuCUE's quadruped design, it is able to fire the railgun steadily, without worry of recoil.
* M88 13-tube 400mm Missile Pod
The other weapon that can be mounted on the turret on the suit's back, since the turret is a rotary type, the missile pod can be fired in all directions. A sensor is installed at the tip of the warheads to automatically recognize and track enemy targets.
