RX-124 Gundam TR-6

RX-124 Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort] is the base unit of the TR-6 series in Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans, the photo-novel and manga set late in the Gryps Conflict (U.C. 0088). It is the final product of the TR Plan, the Titans' programme for a next-generation mainstay mobile suit, and Lieutenant Eliard Hunter of the Titans Test Team is its test pilot.

What it does in the story

The prototype rides aboard the Test Team's ship Aswan in its Kehaar II form, with Hunter formally assigned to it in February U.C. 0088. When Titans headquarters orders it committed at the battle over the Gryps 2 colony laser, the Aswan's commander judges that sending a Gundam out would only revive a settled war and orders Hunter to sortie and destroy the machine instead. On the way out it destroys three Nemos and lands a critical hit on a Salamis-class cruiser before an AEUG Rick Dias catches up.

What makes it different

• The TR-6 is a system, not one mobile suit. It is built around the Woundwort and its core component, the Primrose II. The Universal Replacement System lets the suit fold its limbs and take reinforcement units, so it can stand in for other Federation machines; with TR-1 Hazel parts it is named Hazel II.
• The cockpit is also an escape pod. The torso containing the cockpit detaches and works on its own as the Primrose II, which the design treats as a core component of the system rather than safety equipment added afterwards.
• The frame is thin on purpose. The Woundwort is a light-armour design, minimally armoured so transformation comes first, with folding mechanisms in the limbs. A high-output TR-type generator gives the small airframe its power-to-weight ratio and lets the mobile armour form fly in atmosphere.
• The transformation runs through a Drum Frame. The suit is a set of components on a Drum Frame, the centre of the transformation mechanism. The mobile armour form's aerodynamics are poor, so atmospheric flight needs option parts. The Boost Pod at the rear upgrades the Hazel's booster pod with coolant gas emitters and a built-in generator.
