TMF/A-802 BuCUE in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Designed by legendary mechanical designer Kunio Okawara, the TMF/A-802 BuCUE is a beast-like quadrupedal, ground-assault mobile suit fielded by ZAFT in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series. Compared to the conventional bipedal models among ZAFT’s forces, it boasts superior mobility. The BuCUEs were famously introduced in SEED as the preferred unit of North African commander “Desert Tiger” Andrew Waltfeld. Waltfeld himself piloted a custom BuCUE, that appeared in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV, which would eventually be developed into his signature orange-hued TMF/A-803 LaGOWE.

Story

Year 70 of the Cosmic Era. The Coordinators, a group of genetically enhanced humans, have moved into colonies orbiting the Earth. But that hasn’t quieted the tensions between them and regular humans; the conflict soon escalates into a full-scale war. On the neutral colony of Heliopolis, Kira Yamato, and his friends are going to school and just being kids. But when the ZAFT commando forces attack, Kira’s life changes forever.

Left with no choice, he and Federation officer Murrue Ramius are thrown into battle in a prototype mobile weapon, which Kira christens “GUNDAM.” Now, Kira must defend himself and his friends from his own people. For, unknown to anyone else, Kira is a Coordinator. And the enemy he faces on the battlefield is his childhood best friend, Athrun!
