The JMA-0530 (Model U) Wodom (colloquially referred to as "Scarecrow" (カカシ Kakashi?) by the Militia) is a mobile suit that appears in ∀ Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The Wodom (short for "Walking Dome") is a large mobile suit for anti-ship combat used by Dianna Counter.[1] The head unit functions as both a generator and a weapon block, equipped with hatch-type anti-air missiles, anti-air vulcans, and a beam cannon. This beam weaponry is designed for anti-ship use and is not typically deployed for ground combat. Additionally, more missiles are mounted on both sides of the head unit.[2] The Wodom's most distinctive feature is its towering height of approximately 40 meters and its unique form, where limbs appear to extend directly from a hemispherical head. Due to this peculiar appearance, the Wodom was expected to serve as a psychological weapon, instilling fear in Earthlings and decisively crushing their spirit of rebellion without the need for combat.[3]

Primarily designed for long-range combat, the Wodom, due to its massive size, is often outmaneuvered in close-quarters combat. To counter this, rockets and machine guns are positioned within the head's hatches.[4] The surface of the Wodom is covered with Nanoskin (Nano-Surface Kinetic Improvement) like the System-∀99 ∀ Gundam, providing high defensive capabilities.[3][4][5] The cockpit is located in the waist section, housed in a cylindrical block that offers significantly more space compared to other mobile suits.[4][6] It can be configured as either a single or dual-seat type, enabling both the pilot and a unit commander to co-occupy it when the Wodom is used as a command unit.[7] These units were discovered in the Lunar Mountain Cycle.[8] The unit stationed on the Zacktraeger features a predominantly red color scheme.[9]

Armaments[]

  • Anti-Ship Beam Cannon
A powerful beam weapon mounted above the green camera eye and concealed by a hatch. It is powerful enough to destroy an entire city or even an Aspite ship in a single hit.
  • Triple Large Missile
Two sets of triple large missiles are attached to the sides of the large head unit.
  • Small Missile Launcher
Four small missile launchers are mounted next to the anti-ship beam cannon, two on the left and two on the right. They are concealed by hatches.
  • Anti-Air Vulcan Gun
Two anti-air Vulcan guns are located in the large head unit, next to the small missile launchers. The guns' barrels pop out when in use.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Nanoskin (Nano-Surface Kinetic Improvement Nervation)
The surface of the Wodom has a layer of nanomachines equipped with self-healing function. Considered an intelligent or smart armor, the Nanoskin forms an incredibly strong chitinous multilayered structure composed of amino sugar-like polymers, which mitigates, offsets, disperses, and absorbs external impact. In the event of damage, the Nanoskin can repair and reinforce the surrounding areas immediately, thereby minimizing the damage.[5] However, unlike that of the Turn-types, its Nanoskin cannot repair the unit's internal machinery.[10] The Nanoskin also has the ability to protect an object from deterioration over time, maintaining it in pristine and operable condition for thousands of years. It was used to cover technology buried in the Mountain Cycles, but it disintegrates upon exposure to air.[11]
  • Extra Generator
A second generator can be attached on top of the mobile suit's head to boost the firepower and firing duration of the anti-ship beam cannon. However, the added weight requires the Wodom to support its head with both arms.

History[]

The Wodom was excavated from a mountain cycle on the Moon. It was the backbone of the Dianna Counter forces, and was also used by the Moonrace forces stationed on the space station Zacktraeger. One of the first units to be used on Earth was piloted by Poe Aijee, and her attacks on Inglessa would lead to the awakening of the ancient System-∀99 ∀ Gundam.

Variants[]

  • JMA-0530 (Model U) Wodom Rainer Cziommer Custom
Appearing in Gundam Build Fighters, it is a customized Gunpla of the Wodom built and piloted by Rainer Cziommer.
