Battroid Mode
The Fz-109 features large limbs and an overpowering silhouette.* The manipulators also have a form similar to a beast, which curve toward the inside. In addition, compared to the Unified Forces made VFs, its airframe is large, and it worked effectively even in hand-to-hand combat.

* Translator's note: originally was: "Starting with the large shoulder armour and triangular head, it features a creature-like appearance that isn't seen in the Unified Forces VFs".

Related Facts: VF-14 Vampire
The VF-14 Vampire is the Unified Forces made VF that became the base of the Fz-109. The VF-14 is said to be the successor to the VF-4 Lightning III, which was loaded on the Megaroad 01, and the VF-14 inherited such things as the VF-4's appearance, and basic structure. There is a record that the Unified Forces Varohta Star Investigation Squadron operated the VF-14. It is thought that the Protodevilun seized the airframe when the Investigation Squadron snuck into the Varohta Star system. The Protodevilun then improved upon the VF-14, making the Fz-109.

Caption: While defending the Unified Forces military vessels, the VF-14 Vampire sortied toward the 4th Varohtan planet. A considerable number of VF-14 were mass-produced.

Right: VF-14 Vampire
Illustrated are the VF-14 that were operated by the Special Forces unit Dancing Skull. The exterior and armaments are somewhat different to the VF-14 that the Varohta Planet Research Squadron operated. It is equipped with a total of 3 beam guns in the head and shoulders, as main weapons.*

* Translator's note: originally was: "In Fighter form, the VF-14 has a shape closer to an aircraft when compared to the Fz-109, which has a form like a living creature form. The VF-14's battroid form also has a sharper appearance. It is armed with 3 beam guns as it's main armaments."
