Mobile suits are giant humanoid robots that are a part of the Gundam franchise. Recently I did a post on my favorite Gundams of the franchise and now I am looking at my top five mobile suits that are not gundams from the entire gundam franchise.
Tallgeese
The Tallgeese mobile suit makes its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing during the After Colony era of the timeline. Tallgeese is used by the Organization of Zodiac (OZ) in the anime and is notable for being piloted by Zechs Merquise.
Tallgeese is considered to be the prototype design that all gundams and moblie suits in the After Colony timeline. Tallgeese has had two additional models created in with the second being nearly identical to the first due to using parts of the first after it was destroyed.
Tallgeese is fitted with weaponry that enables it to perform both at close-range and long-range fighting very well. Tallgeese's weapons include:
- Dober Gun
- Beam Sabers
- Shield
- Missile Pod
Gouf
The Gouf was a mobile suit that made it's appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam during the Universal Century era of the timeline. The Gouf was mainly developed as a stronger version of the Zaku II used by the Principality of Zeon. Gouf's were used mostly as a mass produced model and no notable pilots used it during the war in Mobile Suit Gundam.
Gouf's were one of the mobile suits that saw limited use and eventually had production stopped as it was other models became more favored for battle.
The Gouf's main weapons consisted of:
- Machine Gun Hand
- Heat Rod
If needed, the pilot could use all standard weapons that were used by Zaku II mobile suits.
ZAKU Warrior
The ZAKU Warrior made its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny during the Cosmic Era of the timeline. The ZAKU Warrior was a mass-produced unit used by the organization Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty (ZAFT) and thus was used by many different pilots.
The ZAKU Warrior was created after the first war that took place in the timeline. This particular mobile suited is noted for being stronger that other models and was used as a means to cope with military restrictions of a treaty that was signed in the anime.
The ZAKU Warrior has weapons that allow it to be used as both a long-range and short-range fighter depending on the situation. It's weapons include:
- Hand Grenades
- Shoulder Shield
- Beam Tomahawk
- Beam Rifle
- "Cattus" Recoiless Rifle
Gadessa
The Gadessa mobile suit makes it appearence in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 during the Anno Domini timeline. The Gadessa was a special mobile suit built for the antagonist organization Innovators and was piloted by characters Revive Revival and Hiling Care.
The Gadessa was produced in limited numbers as only Innovators were able to pilot these suits to its full capability. The Gadessa would serve as the base design for more advanced mobile suits used by the Innovators.
The Gadessa is mostly a long-range fighter and support unit though it does have close range weapons if the situation calls for it. Its weaponry includes:
- GN Mega Launcher
- Beam Saber
- GN Vulcan Wrist Guns
- GN Cutter
Jesta
The Jesta mobile suit makes it appearance in Mobile Suit Unicorn during the Universal Century timeline. The Jesta mobile suit is used by the Earth Federation and is used mainly as an escort unit for Unicorn Gundam.
Being that the Jesta suit is a escort unit, its main objectives on the battlefield is to destroy ordinary enemy units so that more powerful gundams can fight stronger enemies without sustaining damage from needless fights.
Jesta mobile suits are equipped with various weapons to help complete its mission on the battlefield. These weapons include:
- Vulcan Head Guns
- Hand Grenades
- Beam Rifle
- Beam Saber
- Shield
