Revision as of 18:15, 26 February 2016
The MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type (aka Gouf Flight Type) is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Variations series and the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam anime series.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Following the Principality of Zeon's invasion and subsequent occupation of much of Earth during the One Year War, the Zeon military found that their revolutionary mobile suits that proved so effective in space combat were essentially slow-moving targets on Earth, which made fighters made for atmospheric combat surprisingly effective against them (Federal pilot Lydo Wolf, for example, was a fighter ace before becoming a Mobile Suit pilot). This encouraged Zeon engineers to think of ways to create a mobile suit design that was capable of sustained atmospheric flight. A program was initiated to develop an atmospheric flight-capable mobile suit, and four MS-07 Goufs were modified into the experimental MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type.
Armaments
- 5-barrel 75mm Machine Gun
- Both hands of the MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type are replaced with 75mm machine guns, with ammunition magazines mounted on the arms. The gun has five barrels which are shaped to look like fingers. It fires physical rounds at a rapid rate and possesses enough firepower to destroy lightly armored mobile suits with ease. However its effectiveness against heavy armor is very limited.
- 360mm Giant Bazooka
- Despite not having normal hands, the MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type was still able to use the same 360mm Giant Bazooka used by the MS-09 Dom. The bazooka is magazine fed and holds 10 rounds per magazine. A single round can blow the torso off of an enemy mobile suit.
History
Mounting aerodynamic control surfaces on its backpack and a pair of powerful thermonuclear jet engines on each leg, the Gouf Flight Test Types were assigned to Zeon's captured California Base and later transferred to an air force base in Arizona for extensive test flights. This initial design would prove flawed, however, and over the course of its test flight schedule, the Gouf Flight Test Types were refurbished and redesigned along the way, the last incarnation being the MS-07H-4 model before the program was finally scrapped.
However, when the Earth Federation reclaimed California Base, they discovered the MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Types and began using them for their own purposes, even up to UC 0087 during the early part of the Gryps Conflict, when the Earth Federation used them in vain to defend Jaburo from the AEUG.
