Description

While plans for the Rakshasa were being developed a secondary project sprung up around the MSN-104 to create a mobile suit which could effectively be piloted by the Newtype pilot of the MSN-104 to work in tandem with the unit to produce devastating results. The concept had been used before in mobile suits like the Bawoo, however, the main difference is a computer would not be handling most of the responsibility for operating the second attack unit. Because of the unique method of operation the MDN-103 earned itself the title of Bit mobile suit.

Because the MDN-103 was intended to function without a pilot Anaheim engineers attempted to make the unit as high performance as possible, this however, proved completely unsuccessful as the shear weight from the new Psycommu-Flash system responsible for receiving signals from the Newtype Pilot was so large it actually increased the weight of the unit tremendously and as a result of this incredible bulk the unit's increase thrust was squandered making it slower then the Rakshasa itself.

During the development of the Rakshasa funds from the Sleeves began to run low and the MDN-103 was abandoned before it's completion and Fin Funnels were instead substituted for the Bit Mobile Suit. The only data on the unit was deleted in UC-105 after the decline of Newtype pilots and the demand for newtype use MS dried up entirely, without ever testing the viability of a newtype controlling two units.
