Technology & Combat Characteristics

Once a standard MS-09G Dwadge ground combat mobile suit used during the One Year War, it was heavily modified by its owner, Desert Rommel, leader of Zeon Remnants "The Rommel Corps" still operating on Earth in Africa. Rommel's Dowadge is steadily upgraded over the years following the war's end, and by U.C. 0088, it is redesignated the MS-09H Dwadge Custom and was more formidable than the regular Dwadge.

It is equipped with chemical fuel rocket boosters on the shoulders and a duct for exhaust heat effective in local battles such as tropical areas is newly installed in the crotch, making it possible to continuously demonstrate high mobility without being influenced by the environment. Its generator was also retrofitted and attack power increased due to the implementation of beam weapons, which was a problem for the MS-09B Dom. Its armor and operating system are also upgraded, and the performance is comparable to that of MS of the late 0080's to some extent.

History

Despite the aformentioned upgrades, the Dwadge Custom was still considered an obsolete machine when compared to the advanced mobile suits fielded by AEUG in U.C. 0088. It was subsequently destroyed in battle against the Gundam Team when it was defeated by the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam's Beam Saber.
