The YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu (ローゼン・ズール Rōzen Zūru?) is a mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn novel, its OVA adaptation and the television re-cut. It was piloted by Angelo Sauper.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The YAM-132 Rozen Zulu is based on the concept of the experimental mobile suit AMX-103 Hamma Hamma, and was designed as a Psycommu warfare mobile suit for non-Newtype pilots. Like the Hamma Hamma, both of the Rozen Zulu's arms contain wire-guided weapons that function as INCOMs, ending in claws that could be used as a melee weapon. The mobile suit is equipped with petal-shaped remote control devices, the "Psycho Jammer", which disrupts the connection and function of enemy Psycommu-guided weapons and systems. For defensive purposes, it carries a shield which has three built in mega particle cannons and an I-Field generator. This shield is later replaced by the wired shield unit that is mounted on the right arm to replace the destroyed arm-mounted INCOM. The Rozen Zulu is actually a heavily modified AMS-129 Geara Zulu (Angelo Sauper Use) using spare parts of the MSN-06S Sinanju. As a result, the suit has Psycho-Frame installed around the cockpit but as it is not intended for Newtype use. The suit is also incorporated with Quasi-Psycommu system so that normal pilots can control the arm-mounted INCOMs effectively.
Armaments[]
- INCOM
- Mounted in the forearms, the pair of wire-guided devices is the main weaponry of the Rozen Zulu and each is equipped with triple mega particle cannons of adjustable output as well as three claws that can be used to pierce enemy units. Controlled by the quasi-psycommu system, each INCOM also has three relay INCOMs, thinner disc-shaped objects, that are used to help the main INCOM change direction during attacks.
- Mega Beam Shield
- A unique physical shield used by the Rozen Zulu, it is mounted on the left forearm and is made of Gundarium alloy.
- Mega Particle Cannon
- Three mega particle cannons are mounted in the mega beam shield around the central I-Field Generator. They can fire normal beam shots or scattering beam shots.
- I-Field Generator
- Housed in the center of the Mega Beam Shield, the I-Field created by this generator not only improved the shield's defensive capabilities against beam weaponry, but can also be used to scatter the beams fired from the three mega particle cannons, increasing the attack area or to deflect the beams so that they can hit enemy units in other directions.
- Wired Shield Unit
- After the Rozen Zulu lost its right arm-mounted INCOM, the wired shield unit is attached to the right arm as a replacement. As implied by its name, this wired shield unit can be deployed as a wire-guided remote-controlled weaponry like the INCOM. Like the mega beam shield that is removed, the wired shield unit is equipped with an I-Field generator as well as three mega particle cannons that can fire normal beam shots or scattering beam shots.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Psycho Jammer
- Special, rose bud-like devices stored in the two back containers of the Rozen Zulu that are designed to disrupt the connection and function of enemy Psycommu-guided weapons. They function similarly to bits and funnels, except they are not equipped with offensive weaponry. Instead, they can generate a Psycho-Field around enemy units for capture/jamming purposes. Although the Rozen Zulu carried up to eight Psycho Jammers, it did not need all of them to generate the Psycho-Field, as seen when it used only six Psycho Jammers to create an octahedral Psycho-Field to inhibit the NT-D System of the full-psycho-frame mobile suit, RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.
- Quasi-Psycommu System
- The Rozen Zulu has a Quasi-Psycommu system which utilizes a mix of remote-control and computer-guidance systems to help its pilot control the mobile suit's remote-controlled weaponry as if they were controlled by an actual Psycommu system.
- External Propellant Tank
- Mounted on the back, the pair of tanks increase the amount of fuel the suit can carry, thus increasing its operational flight time. When the fuel is depleted, the tanks can be ejected to decrease mass.
