Botty (ボティ?) is a minor character from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
History[]
When the A.E.U.G.'s mobile suits were entering from the direction of Colony 15, enemy fire took out the right leg of Lieutenant Botty's Rick Dias. Thus, Quattro ordered him to fall back [1].
Destruction of the Gate of Zedan[]
When Fa's Methuss got too close to Jerid's Byarlant, Apolly ordered him to go and help the Zeta. As he approached the Zeta, a beam from Reccoa's Palace Athene's Twin Beam Gun took out the left leg of his Rick Dias [2].
Operation Maelstrom[]
After Bright Noa commenced Operation Maelstrom, Botty was the third pilot sent out, launching from the Argama's starboard catapult. With the mobile suits en route to the Gryps II Colony Laser, Quattro ordered Botty to go with him to find and destroy the Colony's microwave receiver panel [3].
Notes & Trivia[]
- Botty does not appear in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation III - Love Is the Pulse of the Stars but animation of his appearance in episode 45 is reused; the dialogue was re-recorded such that Apolly audibly refers to the character on screen as Batch—a different character who also piloted a Rick Dias in the television series [4].
