The MS-14S (YMS-14) Gelgoog Commander Type is a commander mobile suit that entered production as the MS-14A Gelgoog.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Featuring a high-powered generator, various thrusters to aid mobility, a large pointed oval-shaped shield, a Beam Rifle, and a Beam Naginata, the MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type rivals the capabilities of the Earth Federation's RX-78-2 Gundam. In fact, compared to the Gundam, the Gelgoog Commander Type is slightly faster, more mobile and possesses a more powerful generator and beam weapon selection; this was proven by Char during his first sortie in his personal unit against Amuro Ray's Gundam during the One Year War. On the other hand, it has thinner and less durable armor than the Gundam (which is built with Luna Titanium Alloy), and the lack of built-in weapons makes the Gelgoog easier to disarm (which Amuro literally did) and leave weaponless.

Armaments[]

  • Twin Beam Sword
The Gelgoog Commander Type is equipped with a twin beam sword, sometimes referred to as a "Beam Naginata". Its handle is about the length of two beam saber hilts and has a beam emitter at both ends, allowing it to generate two beam blades by containing and shaping plasma via an I-Field. The weapon can cut through most armor not treated with anti-beam coating. It can also generate only a beam blade on one end. When not in use, it is stored on the back.
  • Beam Rifle
The Gelgoog series is the first series of mass produced Principality of Zeon mobile suit to be equipped with a beam rifle. It was developed by incorporating the federation's technical data on energy CAP technology that Zeon obtained via Side 6. The beam rifle fires compressed mega particles in the form of a beam which has the power to penetrate all but the specially treated materials.
  • Shield
The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit, and has an anti-beam coating to protect against beam attacks. Typically physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break. The Gelgoog's shield is arm-mounted and can be stored on the back when not in use.
  • 110mm Machine Cannon
Mounted on the right forearm, this modification originated from the Gelgoog Marine. This projectile firing weapon is highly effective against most mobile suit armor at close range.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • High Mobility Thruster Pack
A powerful thruster pack, that greatly increases the Gelgoog Commander Type's speed and mobility. This was removed from a MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type, and installed on Char Aznable's Gelgoog.

History[]

The Gelgoog was Zeonic's entry for Zeon's next flagship mobile suit and rival to Zimmad's YMS-15 Gyan. After it was adopted as the new mainstay mobile suit, 25 units, under the designation YMS-14S (the 'Y' in YMS-14S means it is a prototype Mobile Suit) were produced initially; 24 of the machines were given to the Chimera Corps, aka the Ace Pilot Corps. The remaining unit was assigned to Char Aznable, who piloted it against the RX-78-2 Gundam in two sorties. Later on in the war, the designation "Y" in YMS-14S was removed, renaming it MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type. Originally a prototype, it was later converted into a high performance unit for commanders.

Proving to be an excellent design, the Zeon forces only made slight changes based on feedback from the test pilots. A significant change was adding more armor to make it more durable, but cutting down some of the Gelgoog's speed. Once finalized, they decided to put it under mass production to counter the Earth Federation's mass-produced RGM-79s, which were slowly but steadily pushing deeper into the Principality of Zeon's territories. The mass-produced version was then designated MS-14A Gelgoog.

After Char's unit was damaged and defeated in combat by Amuro Ray and his RX-78-2 Gundam, his Gelgoog Commander Type was later repaired and modified to improve its performance, adding a new and more powerful backpack taken from the MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type as well as replacing the severed arm with an arm from the MS-14F Gelgoog Marine. It is then held in reserve while Char pilots the MSN-02 Zeong. After the end of the battle of A Baoa Qu, Char flees using his Gelgoog to support the Zeon retreat to Axis. While at Axis, Char's Gelgoog is further refined, removing the B-type backpack, adding a more streamlined design, larger thrusters, a vulcan gun and a hidden beam saber, earning the unit the new designation of MS-14U Gelgoog (Outer Space Type).

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Due to an animation error, the Char's Gelgoog debuted in Mobile Suit Gundam TV series featured a twin sword with metallic blades instead of beam blades when facing the RX-78-2 Gundam inside the Texas Colony.
  • The beam naginata used by Char's Gelgoog had blue blades in the TV series, but they were changed to yellow in Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space. However, during the Gelgoog's second battle with the Gundam, the scene where it activates its beam naginata used recycled footage from the TV series, so its blades were blue in that scene, but changed to yellow in the next scene.
    • In the flashback scene in Char's Counterattack, the Gelgoog's beam naginata had blue blades, even though the scene also featured the Core Booster from Encounters in Space.
  • Char's Gelgoog Commander Type appears in the Extreme Vs. series at a cost of 2000, the same cost as the Gundam. Aside from possessing its beam rifle, Char can hurl the Gelgoog's Beam Naginata as well as charging it up for more power and to give himself a speed buff. It can also summon Lalah Sune's Elmeth for support.
