Revision as of 18:04, 18 December 2020

The OZ-00MS2B (OZ-00MS3) Tallgeese III (aka Tallgeese, Tallgeese III) is a mobile suit featured in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. It is piloted by Zechs Merquise.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Tallgeese III is based on the previous two models and, like them, features superior speed that exceeds that of most other mobile suits. It retains the beam saber that are used by the previous models, and features three new weapons, a pair of head mounted vulcans, a retractable heat rod and a mega cannon. Its also has a new head design and different shoulder armor.

Armaments

  • Vulcan Gun
Mounted in the head, the pair of shell firing weapons have high-rate of fire but little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though they can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, attack vehicles, etc.
  • Mega Cannon
The strongest weapon of the Tallgeese III is its mega cannon, which replaces the dober gun used on the previous two models. It has two modes; a compact configuration which functions like a beam rifle, and a beam cannon mode where the barrel splits open and extends. The beam cannon mode is among the most powerful mobile suit beam cannons, and nearly as powerful as the twin buster rifle of the Wing Zero, with one shot being enough to destroy the asteroid base MO-III.
  • Shield
Like the previous two models, the Tallgeese III's shield is hung off the left shoulder joint for defensive purposes, but unlike its predecessors, it also mounts a retractable heat rod in addition to two beam sabers.
  • Beam Saber
The Tallgeese III is equipped with two beam sabers stored in the shield when not in use. Powered by an internal capacitor, the beam saber focuses plasma into a blade shape and can cut through any object not treated with an anti-beam coating. While the basic structure of the beam sabers are similar to the ones used by the Tallgeese and Tallgeese II, they've been enhanced and possess the same performance as the ones equipped by Gundams.
  • Retractable Heat Rod
Hidden within the shield is a retractable heat rod. When deployed, it can be used with or without being super-heated. The heat rod can be used to trip or entangle opponents, and even cut through mobile suits when heated. This weapon is useful for battling mobile suits with anti-beam coatings.

Special Equipment & Features

  • Interface System
The cockpit has an interface that served as the precursor of the Epyon System.

History

Tallgeese III is a variant of Treize Khushrenada's OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II and started development around the same time as the building of that unit; however, it wasn't finished in time for Treize to take it with him to space. After the Eve Wars' conclusion, the Tallgeese III was confiscated by the Earth Sphere United Nation's Preventer taskforce and kept in storage.

In AC 196, when the Mariemaia Army declared war on the Earth Sphere Unified Nation, former OZ ace pilot Zechs Merquise returned from hiding to work for the Preventers. Zechs was assigned the code name Wind and given Tallgeese III to fight against Mariemaia's Army. He first attacked them in space while they launched from their base MO-III. Using the suit's beam saber, Zechs cut down several ships but had to stop when Dekim Barton threatened to throw a colony at Earth. When Dekim fled, Zechs used the suit's mega cannon to destroy the asteroid base. Later, Zechs used the Tallgeese III to pacify Mariemaia's army of MMS-01 Serpents in Brussels without killing any of the pilots.

Notes and Trivia

  • In Super Robot Wars 64, the Tallgeese III can be obtained by bartering the Epyon to Howard. This method is a bit different compared to the method used to obtain the five Endless Waltz Gundams. The Endless Waltz Gundams can be obtained by fully upgrading the TV version of each pertinent Gundam.
  • Zechs appears with the Tallgeese III in Gundam Battle Assault 3: Featuring Gundam SEED challenging the player (controlling Athrun Zala with his Justice). Before the fight begins, Zechs confirms that Athrun's mobile suit is a Gundam type, continuing that all Gundams are tools of mass destruction and such things must be destroyed.
  • Additionally, the suit is featured in a secret boss battle, with the musical track used being a remix of the Tallgeese music used in Gundam Wing: Endless Duel.
  • The Tallgeese III's Mega Cannon's function as a MAP attack is omitted from some Super Robot Wars games, but makes a notable reappearance in Super Robot Wars Z3: Time Prison.
  • It is possible to build either a Tallgeese or Tallgeese II from the 1/100 HG Tallgeese III and the 1/144 HG Fighting Action Tallgeese III model kits as they contain the necessary shoulder and head parts for the two older versions of the Tallgeese.
  • The Tallgeese III appears in Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space as a DLC unit in the Japanese version, and already unlocked in the localized version.
    • Additionally, its equipment is depicted in error; the Mega Cannon is a much thinner handheld weapon rather than it being attached to its shoulder. Also, during gameplay the shield is held upside down, though in the Unit Viewer this is rectified. Additionally, despite the presence of the shield, the heat rod is unavailable. Several of these problems are rectified in Gundam Battle Assault 3 as it uses recycled models from Encounters in Space.
  • The Tallgeese III's head ornament may be in reference to Char Aznable's original helmet.
