Mobile fighter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mobile fighter is term used to refer to a specific type of fictional humanoid fighting vehicle in the Gundam anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Unlike a normal mobile suit, which is piloted by a standard pair of hand and foot operated controls, a mobile fighter is controlled through the use of a system called the mobile trace system.

By dressing in a specially designed mobile trace suit and using the mobile trace system a pilot could operate his or her mobile fighter by the movements of their own body and the channeling of their chi energy. This produces a degree of control of the mobile fighter that is so precise that it is nearly unparrelleled. However only the strongest fighters are even able to equip a mobile trace suit without having their bones broken by the pressure of the suit being applied. But some warriors of exceptional prowess, such as the Shuffle Alliance, are able to control a mobile fighter through their own chi energy alone, not needing the assistance of a mobile trace suit.
