The PMX-002 Bolinoak Sammahn is a Mobile Suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and is piloted by Sarah Zabiarov.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The third mobile suit built by Paptimus Scirocco aboard the Jupitris, the Bolinoak Sammahn was a mobile suit designed as a seek-and-destroy unit. It was equipped with advanced surveillance technology built into its head and forearms, but because of this, it had limited armaments. The only fixed armament of the suit were two 3-tube rocket launchers, which were mounted in the shoulders of the Bolinoak Sammahn. Additional weaponry consisted of a single shield, which mounts beam sabers/beam tomahawk/beam guns and a pincer/grappling unit.

History[]
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam/Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation III - Love Is the Pulse of the Stars[]
The Bolinoak Sammahn was fielded in the last days of the Gryps Conflict, piloted by Sarah Zabiarov. Sarah used the suit in the battle at the Gate of Zedan[1] and the battles against Axis, during which the Bolinoak Sammahn was damaged by Haman Karn's AMX-004 Qubeley. The Bolinoak Sammahn was destroyed when Katz Kobayashi tried to kill Scirocco only for Sarah to take the blast, killing her in the process.[2]
Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula[]
In U.C 116, a modified Bolinoak Sammahn was used to steal data from SNRI headquarter during a terrorist attack in Side 4 Frontier 1 colony. This unit was piloted by Fonse Kagatie and escorted by Cypher in his MSA-120 Draig.[3] Thanks to the diversion caused by Zeon Remnants terrorists, Fonse and Cypher manage to infiltrated the SNRI's databanks and steal enormous amount of Formula Project data.[4][5] Using the modified Bolinoak Sammahn's electronic warfare capabilities, they are able to cover their tracks and escaped the Side 4 with only Veronica Vermon in her RGM-111Y2 G Custom noticing their existence.[6]
Variant[]
- Bolinoak Sammahn Fonse Kagatie Custom
- Featured in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula, it is a modified Bolinoak Sammahn piloted by Fonse Kagatie, but its external appearance remains unchanged from the original. Deployed in U.C.116, it has excellent electronic warfare capability. It could hack and steal data from enemy databanks via cables launched from its hands and process these data rapidly in real time. It also has the ability to use a slow acting virus to cover its track, so the enemy does not realized it had been hacked.[4]

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Bolinoak Sammahn was likely named after the Japanese children's song Mori no Kuma-san ("Mr Bear of the Forest"), the Japanese version of the American camp song "The Other Day I Met a Bear". During the design phase, its name was "Molinoak Samahn" (モリノーク・サマーン), making it even closer to the song title.
