C-Type: Cold Climate Operations
The C-Type Mission Pack adapts the Gundam F90 for combat in sub-zero environments. A key feature is the full-body anti-cold mantle, which protects the suit's systems from extreme temperatures. For mobility on snow and ice, it includes deployable ski units that attach to the feet. The pack is further equipped with heating units on the arms and legs, with their power cables realistically recreated using lead wires for added detail.

T-Type: High-Speed Tracer
The T-Type Mission Pack focuses on high-speed pursuit and interception. Its defining feature is a massive backpack thruster unit that grants the F90 explosive acceleration. For defense, it includes large shields mounted on articulated arms on the shoulders, allowing for optimal positioning without hindering mobility. This configuration transforms the Gundam F90 into a formidable high-velocity combatant.
