{"title":"MS-08TX Efreet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMS-08TX Efreet is a Principality of Zeon ground-combat prototype from the One Year War, introduced in the game \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079\u003c\/em\u003e (U.C. 0079). Zeon's Earth Attack Force developed it independently of the mainline Zaku line, and its number places it between the MS-07 Gouf and the MS-09 Dom. Henry Boone and Doug Schneid are among its pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenry Boone, leader of the Wolf Gar Team, commanded Operation Desert Dragon from an Efreet in an attempt to take the Albatross Transport Base in the Gobi Desert. Doug Schneid of the Marchosias Corps flew a purple example with a gatling gun grafted to its left forearm and a heat lancer. His machine survived the war and passed to Zeon remnants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt fights with power rather than technique.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nWhere the Gouf is a technical fighter built around fixed armament, the Efreet leans on high thrust and high output with purpose-built hand weapons. Its thrust is quoted as higher than the Gelgoog's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnly eight were built.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nProduction stopped at eight units. Zeon's leadership was putting resources into space-use mobile suits, and the Efreet was awkward to operate and hard to manufacture. The design left enough margin for several versions anyway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt carries two heat swords at once.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nOne mounts on each side skirt, so a pilot can keep a reserve blade or fight with one in each hand. The blade is heated rather than energised, like the Zaku's heat hawk, and it is shaped differently from the Gouf's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe smoke dischargers are the point.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nFour dischargers can blanket an area in thick smoke, which is how the suit is meant to work: close in under cover, destroy the target and withdraw before the cloud clears. The shotgun and the 360 mm Giant Bazooka finish the job quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead height: 17.2 m, 18.1 m overall, per Bandai's official spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 11.9 cm at head height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/100: roughly 17.2 cm at head height\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.
