The TK-53 CGS Mobile Worker is a mobile weapon featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS television series.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Used for combat duty by Chryse Guard Security.[1] When not used in combat, its weapons are often removed and it is routinely used to transport materials.[1] They are older than the ones available on the market now, and hence has inferior armaments and performance.[2][3] It runs on a Hydrogen Engine[4] and thus can be operated legally within city limits, unlike mobile suits that cannot as their Ahab reactors would ruin various city functions. A commander variant with a second rear seat for commander and a space variant also exists. Meanwhile, another version has been upgraded with heavier armament and an additional chaingun on the chin where a sensor used to be.

Armaments

  • 30mm Machine Gun
The CGS Mobile Worker possess two 30mm machine guns on either sides. While they are able to do damage to other mobile workers, they can barely do any damage to mobile suits due to their Nano Laminated Armor.[2]
  • Missile Pod
The pair of 30mm machine guns can be replaced with a pair of 8-tube missile pods when required.

Special Equipment & Features

  • Alaya-Vijnana System
An organic device system, it is an old type of man-machine interface. Apparently, the system was developed during the Calamity War to maximize the abilities of mobile suit, however it is also possible to use the system for piloting mobile worker. The system consisted of two parts, one part is installed in the mobile worker, and the other part (informally referred to as "Whiskers") is implanted into the pilot’s spine (usually at a young age as the implant only fuse with growing children). Thanks to this system, the pilot can be connected to the mobile worker's computer and directly process its data. It also allows the pilot (even uneducated ones) to operate the mobile worker without reading the instruction manual. The implant in the pilot also enhances spatial awareness.

History

Trivia

  • Mikazuki's personal mobile worker is painted white.
  • Akihiro's personal mobile worker is painted light blue.
  • Norba's personal mobile worker is painted pink/light red. He carried the color scheme over to the Ryusei-Go when he became the mobile suit's pilot.
  • Orga's mobile worker is a commander variant painted brown. He will often observe the battlefield and give orders from the second rear seat. Its pilot was initially Biscuit and then later Takaki.
  • Eugene piloted a standard tan mobile worker.

Trivia

  • The "TK" in the CGS Mobile Worker's designation is an out-universe reference to its real life designer, "Teroaka, Kenji". A few other designs in Iron Blooded Orphans also do the same to their respective real world designers.
