{"title":"Dodai Kai","description":"\u003cp\u003eDodai Kai is not a mobile suit. It is a sub-flight system, a flat carrier the AEUG developed so its machines could keep up in the air and in space, appearing in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Zeta Gundam\u003c\/em\u003e (U.C. 0087) and \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam ZZ\u003c\/em\u003e. It follows the earlier Dodai YS and is ridden by a mobile suit rather than fighting on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt moves AEUG and Karaba units between engagements through the Gryps War and the First Neo Zeon War, carrying machines such as the Hyaku Shiki and the GM III. The type fades as both groups dissolve and the Earth Federation moves to the Base Jabber, though Oldsmobile Forces units still use Dodai Kais in U.C. 0122.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo mobile suits ride on top of it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nA carried machine kneels on the hull and holds a grip on the upper part with one hand, and the platform takes two at a time.

That is the platform's only armament, and it belongs to the carrier rather than the suit riding it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from P-Rex Hobby\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-Rex Hobby is a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vendors\"\u003eBandai Recommended Hobby Store\u003c\/a\u003e with 20,000+ customers served and \u003cspan data-prex-live=\"five-star-reviews\"\u003e1,800+\u003c\/span\u003e five-star reviews.
