The OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II was built exclusively for Treize Khushrenada, the leader of the World Nation. It was assembled from spare parts of the OZ-00MS Tallgeese, but has a different head crest, a new face mask that resembled the Gundam's, and the colors on part of its chests, shoulders, waist, back-mounted boosters, and shield have been changed to blue. This blue color was said to reflect Treize's intention to sortie as a representative of the Earth. Although certain sections of the Tallgeese II were made of gundanium alloy, the mobile suit's basic performance was unchanged from the original Tallgeese.
Armaments[]
- Dober Gun
- Like the original Tallgeese, the Tallgeese II uses a dober gun as its main weapon. The dober gun is a large beam cannon that utilized a cartridge system and is powerful enough to destroy multiple MS with a single shot. It is also effective against gundanium alloys. The dober gun is attached to the right shoulder through a dedicated movable arm unit, and is held in the right hand during use. The gun's barrel has a telescopic mechanism, and is equipped with an old-fashioned muzzle brake to improve accuracy.
- Shield
- A circular shield attached to the left shoulder through a dedicated movable arm unit. It also has a handle on the back so that it can be held by the left hand, enabling it to defend against attacks from various directions. When required, the shield can detach from the left shoulder and held solely in the left hand. Thanks to the anti-beam coating on its surface, the shield can defend against beam and physical attacks. The shield also stores a pair of beam sabers on its back, doubling as a saber holder.
- Beam Saber
- A melee combat weapon that emits a beam blade, a pair of them are stored on the back of the shield. The heat from the beam blade can melt and cut through enemy mobile suits and fighter crafts made of titanium alloy in a single swing. It is also effective against gundanium alloy.
- Heat Saber
- A large sword featured in the manga "Glory of the Losers", this close combat weapon's blade is heated to super-high temperatures for slicing through the armor of other mobile weapons. Like the "Tempest" heat lance, the heat saber can emit energy, and uniquely can even launch the energy forward as a damaging wave.[1] Treize chose it as the Tallgeese II's main weapon to suppress energy consumption in anticipation of the prolonged fighting with the White Fang. Its hilt is made of the same parts as the original Tallgeese's "Tempest" heat lance.[2]
History[]
During the Eve Wars, Treize led his troops on an assault of the White Fang's large battleship, Libra. After ordering the Leo Motherships to hold their positions, Treize flew the Tallgeese II within the firing range of the Libra's main cannon, challenging White Fang's leader, Milliardo Peacecraft, to a duel.
When his request was denied, Treize demanded that Milliardo fire on his Tallgeese II in order to end the war. The Tallgeese II would have been destroyed by the Libra's main cannon if not for the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam knocking it out of the path of the cannon's beam. Lady Une revealed herself to be the Wing Gundam's pilot and reminded Treize that "one must fight the battle in order to witness its true beauty".
After this, Treize ordered the destruction of the Libra and proceeded to shoot down numerous WF-02MD Virgo IIs. Later in the battle, Treize encountered Gundam pilot Chang Wufei in the XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam and fought a one-on-one duel with him. Despite having the upper hand in the fight, Treize ultimately allows Wufei to pierce the Tallgeese II's cockpit, causing it to explode and killing Treize.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The original 1/144 Tallgeese II model, first released in 1996, is a copy of the original 1/144 Tallgeese model and molded in the same black and white plastic, while packaged with additional parts to form the new head and several color correcting decals. If the plastic were to be produced in blue, due to the part setup of the original model, the white portions of the Tallgeese II would also be cast in blue.
