MS-14C-1A Gelgoog Cannon

MS-14C-1A Gelgoog Cannon is a mass-production assault mobile suit and variant of the original MS-14A Gelgoog. It first appeared as a part of the original design series MSV-R: The Return of Johnny Ridden and the unit is piloted by Jacobius Node.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The MS-14C-1A Gelgoog Cannon was essentially a Gelgoog High Mobility Type equipped with more powerful thruster packs, greatly increasing its speed and mobility. The Gelgoog Cannon was equipped with a twin-bladed beam saber, a high-output beam rifle, and a bazooka.

Armaments

 * Twin Beam Sword
 * The twin beam sword is the Gelgoog's weapon in close-range melee combat. The beam sword operates by generating a beam of plasma contained and shaped by an I-field. Because of the heat of the plasma the beam sword can cut through any alloy. The Gelgoog's twin beam sword is unique in that it has a longer than average handle, about the length of two beam saber hilts, and has an emitter at both ends, allowing a single weapon to create two beam blades. When not in use it is stored in a back mounted recharge rack.


 * RA-2 beam cannon


 * Beam rifle
 * The technology of the rifle allows the weapon to fire compressed mega particles in the form of a beam which has the power to penetrate all but the specially treated materials. The beam loses power as it travels so if a target is too far away, although the beam may still it, it may have lost the power needed to penetrate the armor.


 * Bazooka
 * 3-tube missile launcher

History
Has conformal tanks on its legs to extend its operating time. A high mobility backpack similar to that of the B type was prepared as optional equipment, and it can switch between this backpack and a standard cannon pack depending on the mission. The existing images show it with the high mobility backpack; the giant bazooka is just sitting in a storage rack, not built into the backpack. The stripes on its left side are for recognition purposes, and apparently there are also B types with matching patterns. It was assigned to the elite Chimera Corps and participating in the Battle of A Baoa Qu at the end of the war.
