This trophy is called "This thing's on!," and it's an unmissable story based trophy unlocked after completing Directory 1B: A Future Reward.
After beginning the game, you'll automatically start the tutorial mission, "The Threat of Zeon." That's Directory 1A. You need to complete the next mission, Directory 1B to unlock this trophy.
The mission is pretty straight forward.
You enter the Iron-Blooded Orphans' world in order to escort a former representative to Edmonton's parliament to try and get independence for Mars. Break missions are quite linear. Head forward and defeat the two Graze mobile suits. Advance towards the railyard to fight another four Graze units. A fifth will appear after the four have been defeated. Grab the orange crates you'll see for extra Credits, and then head out of the railyard to the right. As you approach the bridge, another break occurs and several OZ-06MS Leo's will appear. While fighting them, yet another break occurs, but thankfully it's Gundam Barbatos coming to help. Defeat all the Leo's, grab the orange crate under the bridge, and the one just to the left of the bridge between some buildings, then head to the checkpoint.
At the checkpoint, yet another break occurs and Zechs Merquise appears in the Epyon. The AI tends to target whoever last damaged it. So, you can use sub weapons while it targets Mikazuki for some hits without it necessarily switching to attack you all the time. You can also try and exploit that by dodging/guarding near Mikazuki to allow him to hit the Epyon and have it switch targets. Mainly, keep your distance from the Epyon best you can. It's much faster than the Zaku II and hits multiple times quickly. For many fights, a simple jump and boost away/around is more than enough to stay away from the bosses. This allows partners to hit them and switch the target back to them. When the Epyon is defeated, fly to where it was and pick up all the dropped goods.
You'll exit the directory and get the results screen. In Mission Pickups, you'll have two blueprints. These are for the Guntank and Guncannon mobile suits. Continue through the Tip menus about Mobile Suit roles, and the trophy will unlock when you hit OK on the popup that reads, "New MS has been developed: Guntank."
