MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type

MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type, first designated YMS-14, is the pre-production Gelgoog Zeonic built for Zeon's ace pilots in Mobile Suit Gundam (1979, U.C. 0079). Twenty-five were finished in October of that year, twenty-four for the Chimera Corps and one for Char Aznable.

What it does in the story

Char took it to Texas Colony and fought Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam twice, and its speed and beam weapons made the contest closer than Zeon's earlier suits managed. After it was wrecked he moved to the Zeong.

What makes it different

• The Y means prototype, and it was dropped. Zeon built the first twenty-five as YMS-14S and removed the Y once the design was settled, redesignating them MS-14S. The mass-produced MS-14A that followed trades speed for armour.
• Twenty-four of twenty-five went to one unit. The Chimera Corps, Zeon's ace pilot corps, took nearly the whole first run. The machine left over was Char's, which is why the type reads as a commander's suit.
• It was Zeon's first line suit with a beam rifle. The rifle used Federation energy CAP data obtained through Side 6, and the Gelgoog was the first beam rifle in Zeon's mass-production programme.
• The sword emits from both ends. The twin beam sword is about as long as two sabre hilts, with an emitter at each tip, so it runs two blades or one. It is I-field contained and stows on the back.

How big is it?

• Head height: 19.2 m, per Bandai's official spec
• 1/144: roughly 13.3 cm
