The Samson is a ground transport truck used during the One Year War in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Samson was a truck used by the Principality of Zeon to transport mobile suits across Earth. The trailer was capable of carrying one standard Zaku-type mobile suit or a MS-07B Gouf, and could be covered with a canopy. Two machine gun turrets were mounted on the top of the tractor unit. The cab of the tractor unit could detach from the chassis and trailer, allowing it to function independently as a hovercraft named the Samson Top. While originally designed as an escape mechanism, the Samsung Top was also used as a troop transport due to its armaments and large cabin.

Armaments

2-barrel Machine Gun: A pair of 2-barrel machine gun turrets were mounted on the top of the cab, which could be used while attached to the trailer or as the Samson Top.
