The RGZ-91X Re-GZID is a mobile suit introduced in the Mobile Suit Moon Gundam manga.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The RGZ-91X Re-GZID was one of the machines born in the process of selecting the official adopted model of the RGZ-91 Re-GZ and was regarded as a prototype of the Re-GZ. Amuro Ray was involved in this machine's design, and sought to take a different approach from the Zeta Plus series, hence the naming scheme Re-GZ (Refined Gundam Zeta). Although Amuro considered this machine to be his ideal form of the Re-GZ, it was ultimately not adopted due to being more expensive than the final chosen model. Despite this, one unit was produced, and Amuro renamed it to the "Re-GZID" (ideal = ID) at Saphira Gardner's suggestion to differentiate it from the adopted model of the Re-GZ.[1][2]
Armaments[]
- 60mm 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 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.
- 90mm Chest Gatling Gun
- Mounted in the chest, the pair of 90mm Gatling guns have a high rate of fire but low damage. They can be used together with the Vulcan Guns to assist in close combat with a Beam Saber.
- Twin Grenade Launcher
- Both forearms are equipped with a twin grenade launcher similar to those used by the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam.
- Triple Grenade Launcher
- Mounted on the side skirt armor is a grenade launcher similar to the RGM-89 Jegan.
- Beam Saber
- The standard close range armament for most mobile suits, it is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through most armor not treated with anti-beam coating. The Re-GZID is equipped with two stored on the backpack.
- Beam Smart Gun
- A long-range beam weapon used by the MSZ-006 Plus Series.[3]
- Shield
- A basic arm-mounted defense equipment for many Federation mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit. It is also treated with an anti-beam coating 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. The design is similar to one used by the Re-Gz right down to the placement of the hand grenades.
- Hand Grenade
- Three hand grenades are stored in the grenade rack mounted on the other side of the shield. They can be thrown or timed to explode after several seconds as set by the pilot. A common tactic also used by attaching a grenade on a dummy balloon to use for traps.
- Hyper Mega Cannon
- A modified Hyper Mega Cannon left from the MSZ-010A1 Theta Plus.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Dummy Launcher
- A large capacity dummy launcher is attached to each leg, enabling the deployment of a large numbers of various types of dummy balloons.
- Wave Shooter Mode
- A flying armor unit that replaces the backpack of a traditional mobile suit. As it is separate from the mobile suit itself, the strain and load on the suit's movable frame is lessened.[3]
