{"title":"RGM-96X Jesta Cannon","description":"\u003cp\u003eRGM-96X Jesta Cannon is the heavy-armed variant of the Jesta, a limited-production special-operations machine fielded by Londo Bell in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam Unicorn\u003c\/em\u003e (2010, U.C. 0096). Anaheim Electronics built it, and the OVA gives the one confirmed example to Watts Stepney of the Tri-Stars Team aboard the Ra Cailum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatts flies the Jesta Cannon when the Tri-Stars order the Garencieres to stop, moving in close to demand the Unicorn Gundam come out and firing on the ship after getting no answer. Later the Ra Cailum launches its teams at Cheyenne Base to stop the Gryps 2 colony laser, and Watts lands his machine on an MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus A1 as the latter tries to lift off in waverider form, driving it back into the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe main gun draws straight from the generator.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nA beam cannon sits on the backpack over the right shoulder, wired directly to the reactor so it can fire continuously at high output.

One waist rack can be swapped for an optional beam saber rack, which is where the saber moves once the shield takes the left arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead height: 19.3 m, per the machine's official spec listing, at 39.7 t dry and 75.5 t gross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 13.4 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.
