AMX-014 Doven Wolf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AMX-014 Doven Wolf was an Axis Zeon mobile suit seen in the Gundam ZZ TV series

The AMX-014 Doven Wolf is the mainstay of Axis Zeon's mass production mobile suit, beating out the competing AMX-011 Zaku III design— for good reasons. While Zaku-III design is modular and can mount numerous standard armaments, Doven Wolf are equipped with beam weapons all over its body, including wire-guided remote beam gun forearms and wire-guided remote "incom" beam guns, all controlled by a "quasi-psycommu" computer control system. Thus, even a normal, non-Newtype pilot can conduct all-range attacks similar to those made by a Newtype pilot using a standard psycommu system and bits. To top it all off, Doven Wolf also mounted missile launchers, grenade launchers, vulcan guns, and a high-powered beam rifle, which could be connected directly to the mega particle guns in its abdomen and fired as a mega launcher.

While it is certain that it used some design concepts taken from the salvaged MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II, the Doven Wolf is more influenced by ORX-013 Gundam Mk-V, when a researcher defected from the Murasame Research Institute and took one of the three Mk-V with it.
