The Gobble is the predecessor of the Gattle. The Gobble used to be the Principality of Zeon's main forces before the development of the MS-05B Zaku I. It first appeared as a part of the MSV-R line.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Gobble was intended as a pure fighter and later turned out to have some value as an anti-ship attacker, whereas the Gattle was used mainly for anti-ship attack. The Gobble carries two large weapons stations capable of carrying medium missiles for anti-ship attack, which can also hold large fuel tanks or mounted vulcan pods. The Gobble has six internal missile launchers It also has four regular-sized weapons stations on its landing skids, which are mainly used for short-range guided missiles. The Gobble has a crew of two - a pilot and a flight officer seated in a row.
