The third part of the Death Gale Team, the EMS-VSX3 Totuga was built for the purpose of defense. Originally intended for a long-range fire support role, the Totuga was redesigned to give it the strongest defense possible. To that end, it was given incredibly thick armor capable of withstanding most attacks. Its large generator allows it to power a beam shield strong enough to withstand the main mega particle cannon of a capital ship. The Totuga's main weapons were a pair of hammer hands, large bludgeoning weapons similar in concept to the RX-78-2 Gundam's Gundam hammer, but permanently attached to its arms. The large spikes on its back, which generated the beam shield, could double as beam guns. The most unusual part of the Totuga's arsenal, however, was the set of fast-hardening gas dispensers on its back. This substance would quickly transform into a semisolid adhesive, trapping any mobile suit that got within its range. The Totuga was assigned to ace pilot Barnes Gernsback, who would play the defensive role on the Death Gale Team, drawing fire to distract the enemy. The Totuga was finally destroyed on Earth by Tobia Arronax, who got around its incredible armor by stabbing its shoulder joint with a beam saber, then punching the still-ignited blade all the way through the Totuga's body.
