OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing sidestory manga, The Last Outpost (G-Unit).

[edit] Information

The OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe is the last of Dr. Berg's G-UNIT series of mobile suits. Following on from the two original OZ-XGUO1A Gundam Geminass units, the Griepe features the same modular design and shares many of the same parts, as well as incorporating the performance increasing PX System. The Griepe's standard armaments include a long range mega particle launcher and a beam lance. The Griepe can also transform into a fighter mode, which features a buster mega particle cannon capable of taking out several mobile suits in one shot. In its mobile suit mode, it comes with a pair of powerful anti-beam shields connected by flexible joints that deploy like wings which can fold over the body to provide a defensive shield similar to the XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell. When their high-density silicon carbide is activated, they generate a powerful repulsive force field that provides effective protection against attacks from all directions. The Griepe's reflect shields apparently rely on the repulsive properties of their silicon carbide construction to repel enemy attacks, rather than an electromagnetic field as in the shields used by the Hydra and Mercurius. The shields has to be specifically "activated" in order to do so.

The Griepe was constructed on board the OZ Prize flagship, the Gran Shiro, and taken to the asteroid colony MO-V by incognito MO-V pilot Odel Bernett, posing as a masked OZ ace named Silver Crown. Odel's younger brother and MO-V's top pilot Odin Bernett piloted the Griepe for the rest of OZ's siege against OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe.

The Griepe is heavily damaged in a battle against the OZ-15AGX Hydra Gundam, piloted by OZ Prize's Commander Valder Farkill. Following the battle, Odin salvages parts from Odel's OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius and Roche Nattano's LO Booster Geminass to keep the Griepe going for long enough to take out the Gran Shiro.
