The first of the advanced "Gundam" mobile suits to reach the battlefield of the seventh space war, the Gundam Leopard GT-9600 was equipped with a large number of guns and missiles, making it a perfect ground support mobile suit.  Although unable to fly, it was equipped with a set of wheels on each foot, that allowed it to "skate" along the ground.  It's most devastating weapon, however, was the "Inner Arm Gatling" which would completely cover the left are, and could be used to devastate enemy armor.  Like it's sister units, the Gundam Airmaster GW-9800, and the Gundam X GX-9900, the Gundam Leopard was equipped with a "flash system" that allowed a Newtype pilot to remote pilot the mobile bit units called FT-9600's.

An unknown number of FT-Bits were manufactured during the war, but it is believed that they were all destroyed in the final climactic battle against the Space Revolutionary Army.

[1]The Head and Hands are small targets , and are difficult to hit.  Therefore, even with a called shot, they are -3 to hit.

[2]Destroying the Sensor Antenna will disrupt the FT's ability to receive radio signals and has a 50% chance of destroying the radar and laser tracking systems. This does little to slow the unit, however, as it is being remotely controlled by a Newtype in another unit.

[3]Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will disable the GT-Bit
