Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Me02R-F02 Messer Type-F02 is a mobile suit operated by the anti-Earth Federation organization Mafty. Anaheim Electronics was in charge of the development of the Messer series, and as such it is a part of the same line of former Neo Zeon mobile suits, such as the AMS-119 Geara Doga and MSN-04 Sazabi. Its design was heavily based on Zeon-type MS designs such as the rounded armor parts, mono-eye and shoulder armor with spikes, but this is also thought to be a result of Anaheim Electronics' intention to hide their involvement with Mafty. It was equipped with standard armaments that consisted of a beam rifle, shield and beam sabers. To facilitate guerrilla warfare, these weapons were derived from those used by Earth Federation Forces mobile suits.
The Messer Type-F02 is a variant of the Me02R-F01 Messer Type-F01, and features the addition of lifting flares to the legs which result in an improved hover duration.
