When the [[OZ-00MS Tallgeese]] mobile suit prototype proved too expensive and unfeasible for most pilots to handle, the Tallgeese's design was downgraded into a simpler, less-powerful unit. Naming their mobile suits after signs of the Zodiac, OZ's first mass-produced unit was called the OZ-06MS Leo. The Leo would serve as the mainstay of the mobile suit forces for the Earth Alliance military, the Specials force, and later OZ and its Romefeller Foundation masters.
 +
The OZ-06MS Leo is the first mass-produced mobile suit and was developed based on the first armed mobile suit, the [[OZ-00MS Tallgeese]]. Unlike the Tallgeese, the Leo is usable by normal pilots and has low production cost. The Leo is highly versatile, it can adapt to all kinds of missions and can operate on Earth and in space. This is thanks to its wide range of weaponry and optional equipment, as well as multiple hardpoints on its shoulders, back and thighs for mounting some of these weaponry and equipment. Introduced in AC 175, the Leo was slowly upgraded over the years, but had changed very little by the time of the outbreak of war in AC 195. The Leo served as the mainstay mobile suit for the Earth Alliance military, the Specials force, and later OZ and its Romefeller Foundation masters.
−  
−
The Leo gains its adaptability through the hardpoints on its shoulder armor pieces to mount various types of weaponry, and also the hardpoints in the back that allow it to mount different backpacks. It uses a similar leg unit to the Tallgeese.
  
−  
−
First introduced into service in AC 175, the Leo was slowly upgraded over the years leading up to the outbreak of total war in AC 195. By that time, the Leo had actually changed very little from earlier models. The primary reason for the Leo's long service record was its simple adaptability: in addition to a wide variety of hand weapons, the Leo could be outfitted with a winged thruster pack for limited atmospheric flight capability.

  +
:The same type of circular shield as the Tallgeese. It is attached to the left shoulder with a joint on the back, enabling the MS to keep both hands free. It also has a holder on the back for storing two beam sabers.
−
:The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit. Since the introduction of beam weaponry, shields have been treated with an anti-beam coating allowing it to withstand several beam shots before the coating wears off. Typically physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break. A shield can be equipped to either arm of the Leo in order to increase defense against both beam and physical attacks. The shield the Leo uses is similar to the one used by the Tallgeese, and like the one used by the Tallgeese stores two beam sabers.

::The Leo is equipped with two beam sabers, stored within the shield. The principle of these close combat weapons is energy being focused into a beam with a sword shape, and used to melt and cut through even the toughest armor. One can be used as a reserve weapon, or both can be used simultaneously in a twin sword fashion.<ref>Gundam Wing Encyclopedia</ref>

;*105mm Rifle
−
:For ground combat use, the Leo is equipped with a 105mm shell firing rifle. Because this weapon is based on older technology, it can be cheaply produced and can be used by just about any mobile suit. The weapon has no where near the power of a beam rifle, thus its attacks can be stopped by a healthy layer of armor. Designed for close to medium range shooting, it has an extremely fast firing rate, but low power round for round. A precision radar is mounted on top of the muzzle.<ref>Gundam Wing Encyclopedia</ref> A stock can be unfolded to dock with the shoulder armor.<ref>[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101201235137/gundam/images/a/ad/Leo-tech-data2.jpg]</ref>

:Replacing the standard 105mm Rifle is a Beam Rifle for space use. The particle beam fired from a beam rifle can penetrate almost any armor that has not been treated with specific counter-measures. While designed for space use, it can also be effectively used in atmospheric conditions.<ref>Gundam Wing Encyclopedia</ref> Like most beam weapons of the period, it is powered by a replaceable energy cap. If the beam rifle runs out of energy, the current energy cap can be replaced by a new one.<ref>[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101201235137/gundam/images/a/ad/Leo-tech-data2.jpg]</ref>

:Some Leos were seen carries a Bazooka as an optional weapon. Held with both arms and sits over the right shoulder when in use. The bazooka has a long body to minimize recoil.<ref>Gundam Wing Encyclopedia</ref> It features a similar sensor system to the head sensors of the Leo. While very powerful, the Bazooka had a slow rate of fire and fairly limited ammunition.

==History==
  
==History==
−
The OZ-06MS Leo was the first Mass production mobile suit used by OZ, designed as a scaled-down version of the Tallgeese, which was deemed too expensive for mass production. The lead developer of the original prototype Leo was [[Seis Clark]]. Although lightly armed and is obviously rather difficult to pilot effectively, the Leo proved superior to anything produced by the Space Colonies. The base Leo was equipped with a Beam rifle and a shield which contained a pair of beam sabers, thus the Leo was equipped for almost anything, and it could also be loaded with a standard rifle or heavier dober gun. Later, almost all Leos were equipped with vernier backpacks for space combat. The aging Leo was eventually phased out for the newer [[OZ-12SMS Taurus]] and [[OZ-02MD Virgo]] mobile suits, the Leo's legacy finally ending with the [[Serpent]], one of the toughest non-Gundam mobile suits in the After Colony timeline.

Over the years, from the basic Leo, designer and engineers developed many variants for different combat situations.
  
−  
 
*'''Leo Cannon Type:''' An upgraded version of the OZ-06MS, the Leo Cannon Type was identical to the standard model used in AC 195 except for the addition of a pair of beam cannons on the shoulders. The Leo Cannon Type was mostly used by officers and team commanders.

−
*'''Leo Early Type:''' An older version of the OZ-06MS, the Leo Early Type was the original version prior to being upgraded over the years up until AC 195. It features a simpler head design, less armor on the knees and ankles and has differently designed shoulders without the extra armor plates. Despite its age, this version of the Leo was still in use in more remote areas of Earth, including Colonel Bunto's breakaway nation in former China.

*'''Leo Space Type:''' Requiring a mobile suit force to help police (read "blockade") travel and commerce between the space colonies, OZ and the Earth Alliance adapted the standard Leo for space use with the addition of a cylindrical booster backpack equipped with rocket and vernier thrusters. This Leo variant also carried a beam rifle similar to that of the standard Leo, except that it was fitted with a radar disc for targeting in place of the usual optical sensor. The color scheme for this version is mostly purple, but there were also a few that were painted blue as well. There were also several ground combat Leo's hastily refitted for space use as seen in the opening and later scenes of the OVA Gundam Wing Endless Waltz.

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The OZ-06MS Leo is a mass-produced general purpose mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing series.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The OZ-06MS Leo is the first mass-produced mobile suit and was developed based on the first armed mobile suit, the OZ-00MS Tallgeese. Unlike the Tallgeese, the Leo is usable by normal pilots and has low production cost. The Leo is highly versatile, it can adapt to all kinds of missions and can operate on Earth and in space. This is thanks to its wide range of weaponry and optional equipment, as well as multiple hardpoints on its shoulders, back and thighs for mounting some of these weaponry and equipment. Introduced in AC 175, the Leo was slowly upgraded over the years, but had changed very little by the time of the outbreak of war in AC 195. The Leo served as the mainstay mobile suit for the Earth Alliance military, the Specials force, and later OZ and its Romefeller Foundation masters.

Armaments

  • Shield
The same type of circular shield as the Tallgeese. It is attached to the left shoulder with a joint on the back, enabling the MS to keep both hands free. It also has a holder on the back for storing two beam sabers.
  • Beam Saber
The Leo is equipped with two beam sabers, stored behind the shield. These close combat weapons generated a blade-shaped beam to melt and cut through enemy's armor. One can be used as a reserve weapon, or both can be used simultaneously in a twin sword fashion.[1]
  • 105mm Rifle
One of the Leo's primary armament. This shell firing firearm is designed for mid-range ground combat and has an excellent rate of fire, but low power round for round.[1] Thus, its attacks can be stopped by a healthy layer of armor. The 105mm rifle is fed by a drum magazine containing around 100 rounds and has a targeting radar mounted on top of the muzzle.[1] The 105mm Rifle is held using both hands and the rear end of its stock can split into two.[1][2]
  • Beam Rifle (Space Type)
A beam firearm originally developed for the Leo Space Type, it can also be used by the basic Leo on the ground.[1] The weapon is designed with a focus on firepower and is powered by a removable energy pack.[1][2]
  • Beam Rifle (Shorty Type)
Depending on the situation, this short length firearm can be used instead of the beam rifle (space type).[1] Both weapons share the same basic construction, but the shorty type is designed with a focus on rate of fire and ease of use.[1] The shorty type is also powered by a removable energy pack.[1]
  • Bazooka
An optional weapon for ranged bombardment, it has a wide attack radius and is usable on earth as well as in space.[1][2] Due to its length and large recoil, the weapon is held with both arms and sits over the right shoulder when in use.[1] It features the same type of sensor as in the Leo's head, allowing the weapon to have high accuracy.[2]
  • Dober Gun
A long range firearm, it is similar to the weapon used by Tallgeese.[1] When in use, the rear end of the gun is mounted onto the Leo's shoulder via a shoulder attachment and its trigger is held in hand. This is the only weapon in the Leo's arsenal that can damage Gundanium alloy.[1] Although powerful, it does have a huge recoil when fired. Despite this, it is still possible for a Leo to use two Dober Guns.[3]
  • Large Beam Cannon
A large firearm that a Leo Space Type used to shoot a shuttle in the first episode's opening narration. It is also known as Mega Beam Cannon.
  • Beam Cannon
A large, long range weapon originally used by the OZ-12SMS Taurus, it fires a powerful beam that can destroy even Gundanium armor.
  • Twin Beam Scissors
A pole weapon borrowed from the XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell.
  • Buster Rifle
The main weapon of the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam. Its energy cartridges allow it to fire three powerful beam shots, each comparable in power to a battleship's main guns and capable of destroying a small group of mobile suits and ships.

History

The Leo was the first mass production mobile suit and proved superior to anything produced by the Space Colonies. The lead developer of the original prototype Leo was Seis Clark. Decades later, the aging Leo was eventually phased out for the newer OZ-12SMS Taurus and OZ-02MD Virgo. The Leo's legacy finally ended with the Serpent, one of the toughest non-Gundam mobile suits in the After Colony timeline.

Variants

  • Leo Cannon Type: An upgraded version of the OZ-06MS, the Leo Cannon Type was identical to the standard model used in AC 195 except for the addition of a pair of beam cannons on the shoulders. The Leo Cannon Type was mostly used by officers and team commanders.
  • Leo Early Type: An older version of the OZ-06MS, the Leo Early Type was the original version prior to being upgraded over the years up until AC 195. It features a simpler head design, less armor on the knees and ankles and has differently designed shoulders without the extra armor plates. Despite its age, this version of the Leo was still in use in more remote areas of Earth, including Colonel Bundt's breakaway nation in former China.
  • Leo Space Type: Requiring a mobile suit force to help police (read "blockade") travel and commerce between the space colonies, OZ and the Earth Alliance adapted the standard Leo for space use with the addition of a cylindrical booster backpack equipped with rocket and vernier thrusters. Depending on the situation, its primary armament is the beam rifle (space type) or the beam rifle (shorty type). The color scheme for this version is mostly purple, but there were also a few that were painted blue as well. There were also several standard Leo hastily refitted for space use as seen in the opening and later scenes of the OVA Gundam Wing Endless Waltz.
  • Reconnaissance Type Leo: Introduced in the G-Unit manga, the Reconnaissance Type Leo (also known as EWAC Leo) is a variant of the Leo Space Type. It is used for reconnaissance and information-gathering. The most notable change to the basic Leo design is the modification of the head unit, which now has three camera eyes and a large radome at the back. The mobile suit is armed with a mini machine gun.
  • Leo Flight Unit Type: A Leo fitted with a winged flight unit on its back for limited atmospheric flight. Two drop tanks are mounted on the flight unit for acceleration. Boosters can also be attached to the sides of the thighs for take-off and rapid acceleration.
  • Leo Parachute Pack: A small parachute backpack that's used to slow the Leo's descent after being dropped from the transport planes and is jettisoned upon landing.
  • MD System Experiment Leo: A unit used to test the Mobile Doll control system.
  • Leo Type II (Chimera): Introduced in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop, it was a prototype version of the Leo used in early military campaigns such as that led by Treize against rebel factions in Mogadishu. At Treize's insistence, these Leos were painted white.
  • Leo Type IV (Greif): Featured in the Frozen Teardrop and New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Glory of the Defeated. Resembles the Tallgeese even more, and features the high speed flight capabilities of the Aries. The cannon is developed from the Tragos, the backpack verniers from the Aries, and the head crown from the Tallgeese. Rebels at the Marius Plant of the Lunar Factory used black-painted Greifs in their rebellion in AC 186.
  • Leo Valder Farkill Custom: Featured in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: G-UNIT, this Leo was the custom unit of OZ Prize leader Valder Farkill while he served under Treize Khushrenada. Although its appearance is distinct from other Leos, very little is known about its specifications.

Notes and Trivia

  • The Leo's name is derived from "Leo" being the fifth Zodiac sign meaning "lion" - perhaps in reference to the lion symbol of the Romefeller Foundation.
  • The OZ-06MS Leo is the most common mass production mobile suit in New Mobile Report Gundam W. Its model number is similar to that of the most famous mass production mobile suit from the original Gundam; the MS-06 Zaku II.
  • Due to the vast usage of stock footage depicting the Leos being destroyed with ease, a meme has started showing that the Leo is actually one of the weakest units in the Gundam metaverse. This was shown in SD Gundam Force, with the Pawn Leos being shown to be defeated easily, even by running into each other and tripping over their own feet. Fans also joke about Leos being destroyed by sneezes or stray breezes.
  • The Large Beam Cannon/Mega Beam Cannon came with the Robot Damashii Leo Option Set 3 which was sold exclusively in May 2014 as well as the P-Bandai HGAC 1/144 OZ-06MS Leo (Space Type) first sold in 2018.
