The EMS-05 Agg is a Principality of Zeon mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Variation.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The EMS-05 Agg was constructed in preparation for Zeon's upcoming assault on the Earth Federation subterranean headquarters of Jaburo. Built at California Base, it was one of a few highly specialized mobile suits that would aid in the assault. The Agg was designed primarily to bore and smash through rocks to create tunnels for other, more combat capable mobile suits to enter through Jaburo.
The Agg was equipped with two hover jets instead of standard legs, so it could float across the ground instead of walking. To efficiently cut through rocks, the Agg featured two very large drills on its forearms, as well as a pair of large grinders on its shoulders, and a laser cutting torch on its torso. However, the Agg had virtually no combat capability, but its arm drills could be replaced by 4-tube missile pods and a 4-tube missile launcher mounted on its head to serve a more combat oriented role.
Armaments[]
- Laser Torch
- For breaching operations against hulls or rock, the Agg was equipped with a laser torch on its torso - designed to cut through dense material to breach enemy fortifications. Due to the Agg's mono-eye being mounted on the body rather than a head unit, the laser torch is often alluded to as the 'mouth' of the mobile suit. Its effectiveness against enemy mobile suits is unknown.
- 4-tube Missile Pod
- An optional armament of the Agg were 4-tube missile pods mounted on the arms in place of the large drills. While less useful for tunneling or smashing through rock, this gave the Agg a form of offensive weaponry against enemy mobile suits.
- 4-tube Missile Launcher
- An optional armament for a more combat oriented Agg was a 4-tube missile launcher mounted on top of the body, useful against enemy mobile suits.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Large Drill
- For its intended role as a machine designed to tunnel through thick layers of earth, the Agg was equipped with large powerful drills on the arms. Despite the limitations in its role as tunneling equipment, the drills could potentially be used to impale the armor of enemy mobile suits.
- Rock Grinder/Cutter
- To supplement the Agg's drills, the body itself mounted a pair of large rock grinding sawblades, one on each side of the mono-eye - allowing the body to continue drilling should the drilling arms fall out of action.
History[]
The few Aggs that were constructed at California Base did not participate in the assault on Jaburo because Char Aznable discovered a secret entrance to the subterranean base and launched the attack much earlier than originally planned. It is unknown if the Agg was recovered or if they were captured alongside many other Zeon prototypes upon the liberation of California Base by the Earth Federation Forces.
