Changes: PMX-001 Palace Athene

Revision as of 16:12, 3 September 2019

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The PMX-001 Palace Athene is a custom mobile suit created by Paptimus Scirocco. The unit is featured in the series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and piloted by AEUG defector Reccoa Londe.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The second mobile suit built by Paptimus Scirocco aboard the Jupitris during the Gryps Conflict, the Palace Athene was a mobile suit built for offense. Though normally armed with four beam guns in its torso and claws on its feet, it could also be outfitted with a heavy 2-barrel beam gun, eight battleship-grade long-range missiles, and a shield mounting several small missile launchers. Although the extra equipment gave the Palace Athene the firepower equivalent of a large mobile armor or space battleship, its bulk and size did cause it to suffer a lack of good speed and maneuverability.

Armaments

Mega Beam Gun/Beam Saber: The Palace Athene is equipped with a pair of mega beam guns/beam sabers, one located in each forearm. These beam guns can double as beam sabers for close quarters combat.

Scattering Beam Gun: The Palace Athene has a pair of scattering beam guns, one located in each shoulder. These create a spread of beam projectiles effective for attacking multiple targets, larger targets, or even suppressing movement from targets.

Movable Shield

Large Missile: The Palace Athene can equip eight large missiles on its back, each one capable of destroying a warship.

2-barrel Beam Gun: The Palace Athene can mount a 2-barrel beam gun onto its right forearm, which comes equipped with a grenade launcher. The 2-barrel beam gun is effective at mid-range combat.

Grenade Launcher

Shield: The Palace Athene can mount a shield onto its left forearm. Similar to the MS-15 Gyan, the shield comes armed with 8 small missile launchers.

Small Missile Launcher

Special Equipment & Features

Foot Claws: The heel spurs can rotate forward while the toes can pivot down for the feet to form claws. This enables the Palace Athene to grasp and pierce enemy mobile suits with its feet.

History

Just like many of Scirocco's mobile suits, only one Palace Athene was built, and it was assigned to former AEUG pilot-turned-Scirocco supporter Reccoa Londe, who piloted it from the Battle of the Gate of Zedan to its destruction at the Battle of Gryps.

Notes & Trivia

The "Palace Athene" is named for "Athena" (sometimes known as "Pallas Athena"), the Greek goddess of Warfare.
In Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, it is very powerful against numerous enemies, due to its overwhelming firepower.
In Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam, the Palace Athene can only sortie with one of its additional weapons. If not given either the missiles or shield, it can use the scattering beam gun as its sub weapon.
