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-130A is a close quarters combat model, sporting the fixed armaments of the combining heat knives, two beam sabers, 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. The A-Unit also sports a Chain Mine similar to the MS-18E. The chain mine consists of a number of disc-shaped mines connected to each other by flexible cable. Each mine has magnetic claws on its underside, allowing it to be attached to objects. The chain mine can be thrown out like grenades one by one, laid on the ground or fixed to a building as a mine, or (most destructively) attached to a single enemy and detonated. The A-Unit also utilizes four Heat Darts like that used on the MS-08TX/S. These weapons can be thrown or hand held, and are standard heated blades that cause damage to enemy units instead of disabling them, befitting its more overt nature. The A-Unit can also support two Sturm Faust rocket propelled grenade units. Yet, the greatest armament of the A-Unit is 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 A-Unit is a close combat specialty suit that is fielded on regular occasions. As of UC 0095 the A-Unit is still in the possession of Neo Zeon's 'Sleeves'.
