{"title":"MSJ-121 Demi Trainer","description":"\u003cp\u003eMSJ-121 Demi Trainer is the training mobile suit of the Asticassia School of Technology in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury\u003c\/em\u003e (2022, Ad Stella 122). Burion builds it for a school set up to train staff for the space development industry, so it is a teaching machine rather than a frontline design. Suletta Mercury and Reiko Hamlet both pilot one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Demi Trainer is the machine students drill in and the machine the school's duels are fought with, which puts it in the opening episode when Suletta is dropped into a duel she never asked for. It returns for the minefield exercise, where one is seen firing a missile launcher and spraying slow-acting masking, and it fills the school's quieter scenes in hangars and on balconies. By A.S. 125, with Asticassia rebuilt, the HZR-09K Huzar has replaced it as the trainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEverything unnecessary was taken out.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe design strips components that do not serve training, and the machine is described as manoeuvrable as a result. The same simplification is what makes it quick to service between student sorties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudents are expected to modify it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nAnyone with basic technical knowledge can rework the machine, so it doubles as a platform for engineering coursework instead of a fixed specification. Its potential for customisation is treated as a feature of the trainer, not an accident.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts guns are deliberately weak.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nEvery firearm at the school is set to low output, and the beam gun's magazine is built to school standards rather than to combat ones. A training accident is therefore unlikely to destroy the machine or injure the pilot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Daedalus is a tool first.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nIt is a multi-tool assembled from standardised blocks: quad-barrelled missile launchers or gatling barrels for firearms use, circular saws and hammer drills for work. It can be carried by hand or bolted to the forearm once the manipulator is removed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height: 16.2 m at the head, according to Bandai's official spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 11 cm\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.
