MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type

The Gelgoog High Mobility Type is a variant of the original MS-14A Gelgoog. It first appeared as a part of the Mobile Suit Variations line.

Combat Characteristics
The MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type was essentially a standard Gelgoog equipped with a more powerful thruster pack, greatly increasing its speed and mobility. The Gelgoog High Mobility Type was equipped with a twin-bladed beam saber and a high-output beam rifle. The Gelgoog is able to store the beam rifle or bazooka on a storage rack, which looks like it is attached to the backpack.

Armaments

 * Twin Beam Sword
 * The twin beam sword, also known as a beam naginata, is the MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type's weapon in close-range melee combat. The beam sword operates by generating a beam of plasma contained and shaped by an I-field.


 * 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.


 * Shield
 * The Gelgoog carries a unique arm mounted shield styled after the shields used by the African Zulu tribe.

History
When the Principality of Zeon military began field testing of its MS-14S Gelgoog prototype mobile suits during the last weeks of the One Year War, it was already hard at work on variants of the powerful new Gelgoog line. One of the first variants to be produced was the MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type only twelve of the original twenty-five MS-14Ss would be modified into this B-type during field testing by the Ace Corps, which included Zeon's famous "Crimson Lightning" ace pilot, Major Johnny Ridden. When the Gelgoog line went into mass production, an additional 55 B-type Gelgoogs were produced, participating in the Battle of A Baoa Qu at the end of the war.
