UTA/TE-6 GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type

The GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type is a Mobile Suit Variation from the series Gundam SEED.

Combat Abilities
Weapons wise, the GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type mounts two phonon maser cannons, which are mounted on the same position as the ones on the standard UMF-4A GOOhN. Besides these cannons, the suit can also use its large digging claws as weapons.

System Features
To assist in digging operations, this GOOhN variation is equipped with a subsurface radar and an acoustic search system, thus granting the suit superior sensor capabilities when digging throught the ground.

History
During the First Bloody Valentine War ZAFT created the GOOhN, one of only two unique types of underwater mobile suits. Eventually, a prototype version of the GOOhN used for digging operations was created which was the GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type. Though not meant for combat, some units are said to have been used for the Battle of Porta Panama when ZAFT forces had to gather any available forces to destroy the Mass Driver. The fact of an enemy coming from underground caused shock to the Earth Alliance pilots and gave an advantage to these units that were not fit for combat.

Another single GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type was used by PLANT civilian Diller Rojo, who used such a suit to search through the remains of the deserted Mendel colony for informations on the first Coordinator George Glenn.

After the war, the GOOhN Underground Mobility Test Type was put into limited mass production as the UTA/TE-6P Geo-GOOhN.
