The MSJ-121 Demi Trainer (デミトレーナー Demitorēnā?) is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Demi Trainers were developed for students of the Asticassia School of Technology, a school created for training personnel in the space development industry.[2] The unit's design is stripped of all superfluous components, affording it superb maneuverability and serviceability.[2] The MS can be modified by anyone with basic technical knowledge, giving it excellent potential for customization.[2] In addition to these facets, Demi Trainers are said to be the best choice for those learning to pilot, making them an obvious choice for students at the school.[2] If asked which MS they felt most comfortable with, students are most likely to answer, "Demi Trainer".[2]
Armaments[]
- Shield
- A medium size shield that can be attached to the unit's forearm.[2] Built using a simple design, this shield affords Demi Trainers with standard defensive capabilities against beam and impact weaponry.[2]
- Saber Stick
- A portable weapon in the shape of a rod.[2] Easy to handle, this simple-to-use weapon is well suited to anti-Mobile Suit combat training.[2] It can be mounted at the waist or on the backpack.[2]
- Beam Gun
- A small portable firearm.[2] All MS firearms at the school are set to low energy output, and this weapon's magazine complies with school standards.[2]
- Combat Knife
- A small physical sword.[3] Not only can it be used as a melee weapon, it can also be used for miscellaneous tasks such as cutting materials.[3]It can be stored on the forearm hardpoint.
- Daedalus
- Demi Trainers use a multi-tool system called the Daedalus.[3] The Daedalus was developed as a portable unit capable of functioning with a minimal number of parts.[3] It can be modified by swapping in various standardized block unit parts, each with specialized functions.[3] It has handgrips for portability, but by replacing mobile suit's manipulator, it can also be attached to the forearm of a mobile suit.[3] Daedalus systems can be modified into various equipment by swapping standardized block units.[3] Quad-barreled missile launchers and gatling barrels for firearms, or as circular saws and hammer drills for tools, these are used in training exercises at school.[3]
