Real World

The YMS-08A High Mobility Prototype is an experimental mobile suit from the series Mobile Suit Variations.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Earth Attack Force's design, simply code named the High Mobility Prototype, was actually very similar in design and construction to the Zeonic Company's competing model, the YMS-07A Prototype Gouf. The High Mobility Prototype featured new thruster arrays in the lower legs, which made the mobile suit capable of performing short thruster-assisted jumps, an innovation that was also featured in the Prototype Gouf.

Armaments

• 120mm Machine Gun

• Heat Hawk

• Shield

History

A total of five High Mobility Prototype units would be constructed by the Earth Attack Force for field testing, but they proved to be incredibly expensive units to manufacture, not cost effective for the small increases in performance that the unit achieved. The High Mobility Prototype program would later be merged with Zeonic Company's MS-07 Gouf development programs, although some of its design features may have also carried over into the MS-08TX Efreet. The five High Mobility Prototypes that were built would later be shifted to full combat duty.
