This machine is based on the Rick Dom, and was heavily modified to operate the bit that was put to practical use in the former Zeon army's MA Elmeth in a MS. Since it was originally intended to install the psycommu system that was installed in the large MA into the MS, the psycommu control unit connected to its back alone is as huge as the MS. Even so, it has been downsized to 1/3 the size of the Elmeth.

The bits are not mounted on the fuselage, but are operated by a device called the "Bit Carrier", which is launched from the mothership. This bit carrier is also huge, about the size of an MS, and it ejects eight bits mounted inside on command from the MS side to perform all-range attacks. It has no fixed armament when equipped with a psycommu control unit, but it can use a heat saber when its backpack is replaced.

The legs are shaped specifically for space combat, and the backpack has thrusters as well, but the heavy psycommu control unit makes it less maneuverable than conventional MS. For this reason, the backpack and shoulder blocks can be detached in emergency situations (such as when the bit cannot be used). In addition, although improvements were made to its mobility, such as increasing the output of the attitude control thrusters (120% higher than before), they were not enough, and it was not able to achieve the original purpose of installing the psycommu in a MS. This is thought to have led to the development of the funnel, a fundamental revision of the bit system.
