Real World

MSJ-06II-C/BT Tieren High Mobility Commander Type B (aka Tieren High Mobility Commander Type B, Tieren), is a mass produced upgrade of the MSJ-06II-C/B Tieren High Mobility Type B in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

At nearly twice the mass of the GN-005 Gundam Virtue, the variant of the Human Reform League mainstay mobile suit is comparable in design to a bipedal tank, markedly less advanced and less maneuverable than the mass-production types of the other major powers. Though the unit's heavy armor and firepower are relics from an older generation of combat vehicles, the preservation of these throwback features translates to practical dependability in general-purpose warfare, the reasoning behind its continued deployment. The Tieren's cockpit is screen-less and relatively cramped. The piloting display is head-mounted.

Although designed and built after the original MSJ-06II-C/B Tieren High Mobility Type B, it shares more physical features in common with the MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Type, possessing the same build and shields and lacking the High Mobility Pack. Instead the enhanced mobility is derived from the enlarged legs which contain thrusters powerful enough to allow the Tieren to hover. With this ability the Tieren High Mobility Type B can accelerate over land to speeds much greater than what any previous HRL mobile suit could acheive with the exception of the more advanced MSJ-06II-SP Tieren Taozi.

Another notable difference is the switchover from the smoothbore cannon of previous models to the smoothbore gun. It does not have the same rate of fire as the cannon however the longer barrel could point to greater range and accuracy. And it has the ability to mount a carbon blade allowing for a quick switch between ranged and melee combat.

Armaments

• 200 x 25 mm Smoothbore Gun/Blade

A gun based on the smoothbore weapons technology of the HRL. Markedly less advanced then the linear weapons used by the Union and AEU. However the technology is quite reliable and dependable. The gun does not have the same rate of fire as the cannon however the longer barrel could point to greater range and accuracy. And it has the ability to mount a carbon blade allowing for a quick switch between ranged and melee combat.

• Shield

A prominent plate shield normally docked to the front of one of the unit's lower legs, extending upwards to the hip. Two smaller shields are mounted onto each shoulder.

History

The Tieren High Mobility Type B Commander Type is the commander type variant of the MSJ-06II-C/B Tieren High Mobility Type B.

A squad of Tieren High Mobility Type B were seen led by Sergei Smirnov who piloted a Tieren High Mobility Type B Commander Type in the Taklamakan Desert. The squad managed to capture the Gundam Kyrios however this success was not due to the combat abilities of the Tieren unit but actually due to the presence of super soldier Soma Peries and the effects her quantum brainwaves on Allelujah Haptism. After the appearance of the Throne Gundams the Tierens were quickly annihilated by Throne Zwei and its GN Fangs. The Commander Type survived but was heavily damaged.
