kampfer (mobile suit)
A fictional military mecha from the Gundam series. It first appeared in Gundam 0080.
MS-18E Kämpfer
A high-speed prototype assault mobile suit created by Zeon. Intended for close combat, it prioritized speed and armament over any sort of armor protection, being loaded with a variety of weapons - including chain mines, bazookas, shotguns, beam sabers, and panzerfausts.
Piloted by veteran Zeon soldier Mikhail Kaminsky.
The only known unit was deployed in a colony in the final days of the One Year War, where it rampaged and destroyed several Earth Federation mecha until being destroyed itself by the Gundam Alex.
For the light novel series, see kampfer.
