Technical and Historical Notes

The pinnacle of Newtype-use machines during its time, the Griefer units served as test beds for the Psychoframe that would eventually be utilized in the MSN-06S Sinanju. Neo Zeon used valuable data from past Psychoframe cockpits as well as stolen works from Anaheim when creating these machines. Five units were created, each with a different role to play, but all designed with Newtype pilots in mind. The basic frames were constructed much the same, consisting of Gundarium Alloy. Despite the various roles these machines played, they were made with little armor plating, with the intention of making them fast. While their speed and acceleration is nowhere near that of the Sinanju's, they are still rather formidable. They lack the ability to make the same fine-movement, but again they are dedicated machines that have become a good offensive measure against the Federations Jesta production line.

The two YAMS-130B models are the general use models, sporting the fixed armaments of the combining heat knives and two heat wires. The heat wires are very similar to the Heat Rod of the MS-07B Gouf. However, as stated the weapon is a retractable wire and thus is much thinner in design which makes it harder to see even when heated up. As, such it can not detain a opposing suit as could the Heat Rod, but can still trip them up if used properly. It produces an electrical discharge that can surge most equipment on a mobile suit. Yet, the greatest armament of the B-Unit are the two funnels, each stored within the shoulder armor. With a power rating of 5.3 MW individually they are on par with most standard beam rifles and can be operated by the user's Newtype abilities separate of one another. They are only operable when in the vacuum of space. The B-Units are all round general purpose suits that are fielded on regular occasions. As of UC 0095 the B-Units are still in the possession of Neo Zeon's 'Sleeves'.
