The TS-MB1B Euclid is a mass-production Mobile Armor introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Euclid is a mass-production unit used by the Earth Alliance and the latest entry in their TS Series of mobile armors. Developed using technologies from the YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah and YMAG-X7F Gells-Ghe, Euclid is larger and more powerful then the TS-MA2 Moebius. The Euclid's design focuses on versatility, combining high firepower with strong defensive abilities and high speed.[1] For offense, it is armed with two 7-barrel Gatling machine guns and two high-energy beam cannons. For defense, it can deploy a positron reflector shield from the two main thruster units at the sides of its body. The Euclid is also equipped with powerful thrusters throughout its body, granting the large mobile armor excellent mobility, and the ability to fly at high speeds both in space and on Earth, unlike the Moebius which can only be used in space. Like the Zamza-Zah and Gells-Ghe, the Euclid is operated by multiple pilots within the cockpit at the front of its main body.[1]
Armaments[]
- "Schneid Schutz" SX1021 Positron Reflector Shield
- The positron reflector shield is a powerful energy shield that is strong enough to deflect a positron cannon blast. This shield is jointly generated by the two emitters mounted in the two main thruster units at the sides of the MA. These two emitters are covered when not in use.
- M464 "Degtyarev" High-Energy Beam Cannon
- Mounted at the sides of the main body, above the Gatling Machine Guns, the pair of high energy beam cannons are the MA's main weapon and are strong enough to destroy any MS and warships in their firing path.
- M551 52mm 7-barrel Gatling Machine Gun
- Mounted in the lower half of the MA, below the beam cannons, the pair of Gatling machine guns have high rate of fire and high destructive power. Not only are they capable of shooting down enemy missiles, they are also powerful enough to destroy MS with a concentrated stream of fire.
History[]
Origins[]
During the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Earth Alliance saw its main mobile weapon, the TS-MA2 Moebius mobile armor outclassed by ZAFT's mobile suits. Following the end of the war, the EA allied with Adukurf Mechano-Industries to develop a series of advanced mobile armors to succeed the obsolescent Moebius.
Battle of Heaven's Base[]
The Euclid debuted during the Second Alliance-PLANT War in the Battle of Heaven's Base, when several dozen units were among the forces fielded to defend against ZAFT's attack on the base.[2]
The Requiem Crisis[]
Later, Euclids were fielded in space during the Battle of Requiem Station Gounod, to defend the relay stations of the Requiem superweapon, as well as the cannon itself during the Battle of Daedalus.[3][4]
