{"title":"MS-07B Gouf","description":"\u003cp\u003eMS-07B Gouf is Zeon's ground-combat mobile suit in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam\u003c\/em\u003e (1979, U.C. 0079). Zeonic developed it as a full rework of the ground type Zaku II, and the machine that introduced it belongs to Ramba Ral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRamba Ral's Gouf appears in episode 12, unnamed until episode 16, and Amuro registers it as something new because its armour and output do not behave like a Zaku's. Episode 19 gives it its one heat-saber duel with the Gundam: the Gouf cuts through the Gundam's shield, and the exchange ends with a beam saber through the Gouf's back while Ral escapes by hooking a cable onto the Gundam. Eight mass-production Goufs sortie under M'Quve in episode 22, half of them lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a rework of the ground type Zaku, not a clean-sheet design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nZeonic took the ground type Zaku II, the J type, and rebuilt it for close combat, to the point that more than sixty percent of the machine is new.

Only the saber is hand-held in the ordinary sense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shield exists because the left hand is a gun.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Gouf Shield is designed around the fact that the left hand barely works as a manipulator, so it is built for close-range defence first, with a mount latch on the back for the heat saber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt never became the mainstay.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nHandling difficulty and operating cost kept it out of mass issue, production lines were cut back after Odessa, and the Dom took over as the Zaku's replacement.
