The G-838 Mahiroo is a mobile suit that appeared in the anime series ∀ Gundam.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The G-838 Mahiroo is the mainstay mobile suit of the Ghingham Fleet.[1][2] The model number prefix G stands for "Ghingham." The first 8 represents the number of constituent molecules that drive its muscle-fiber polymer motor. The 3 indicates the number of data paths in the drive-system control network. The final 8 represents the degrees of freedom in the muscle-fiber polymer motor’s drive axis.[2] Unlike other mobile suits, it uniquely employs a drive system powered by artificial muscle fibers, leading to the speculation that it originally mounted a Mobile Trace System that captured the pilot’s myoelectric signals and directly traced their movements.[1]
Inside the ring-shaped structure on its left arm is an accelerator, granting it firepower greater than its size would suggest.[2] Also on the left side is a semi-fixed cutter with a small firearm built inside that fires iron projectiles.[2] It is also equipped with a small handgun called the REN-DO,[2] as well as a toroidal shield-integrated mega-particle cannon on its right shoulder. The massive composite sensor array occupying most of its head, the extensive armament secured even at the cost of reducing the arms’ degrees of freedom, and the legs, which also function as manipulators, all indicate that this unit was originally optimized for long-range combat in outer space.[1]
Although air resistance makes it somewhat unstable, it possesses enough thrust to fly within the atmosphere.[2] However, when it encountered Diana’s forces, the fighting became predominantly close-quarters, preventing it from fully demonstrating its capabilities, and many units were destroyed on the battlefield.[1]
