From beginning to end, Cheng Tian had looked like he was itching to stir up trouble. Among the many development paths for the basic Gundam frame, he had specifically chosen Unit 2 from 0083. There was clearly something going on there.
Gundam Prototype Unit 2 had average overall Combat Power, but it carried an exceptionally special superweapon—
Nuclear Rocket Launcher.
With Unit 2 successfully developed, it had also been added to the production line. Its production cost was only 19,500 credits, just 400 more than a Gundam. Yet those 400 credits meant the difference between it and a Gundam was one nuclear warhead!
In other words, for less than 20,000 credits, Cheng Tian could produce a nuclear warhead along with every Gundam Prototype Unit 2 he manufactured...
Of course, in the world of Super Robot Wars Y, where monsters were everywhere, there were countless things more destructive and dangerous than nuclear warheads. A nuke could barely rank among them. But in Cheng Tian's plan, this thing would not be used in conventional combat. It had another purpose.
Thanks to Old Luo's overtime analysis, the cold mecha wreckage was transformed piece by piece into warm Chosen Coins, and several usable Mecha Parts were successfully salvaged as well.
One was a "Large Booster" that could increase movement by 2. This thing had been directly extracted from Char's Zaku wreckage.
Another was an "Action Replay System." Once equipped, it increased the pilot's melee checks by an amount equal to 5 points of Strength. Better than nothing. This one had been extracted from the Nine Dragons Gundam wreckage.
But the most interesting part was a component called "OS Downgrade," dismantled from the wreckage of several Death Army units. Its effect was actually to reduce a mech's Strength, Spirit, and Agility by 50 points each!
