Special Equipments and Features

[edit] In Char's Counterattack

Based on the frame of the mass-produced AMS-120X Geara Doga Psycommu Test Type (although its outward appearance differs drastically), the Jagd Doga was a special-purpose mobile suit equipped with a psycommu system, for use by Neo Zeon Newtype pilots. Six funnels, remote weapons operated by the psycommu system, were included in the design. Standard armament featured a beam saber with an attached heat knife, a half-dozen missiles stored in the shoulder armor, and a quartet of mega particle cannons positioned in the arm-mounted shield. Other weapons varied from unit to unit.

Only two units appeared in the movie and are confirmed to be built. The first unit, which sports an aquamarine color with gold trim and a prominent antenna on its head, was piloted by artificially-enhanced cyber-Newtype Gyunei Guss. His unit was equipped with a beam assault rifle mounting an attached grenade launcher. Gyunei used this mobile suit to fight Amuro Ray twice, first in the prototype RGZ-91 Re-GZ, and later in the custom-engineered RX-93 Nu Gundam. Amuro bested him in this second engagement, completely destroying the Jagd Doga with a single bazooka shot to the back. The second unit, painted red with silver trim, was piloted by Neo Zeon convert and Char-enamored Newtype Quess Paraya. This unit was equipped with a potent beam-based mega Gatling gun. After being damaged in combat, Quess abandoned this unit and subsequently came to use the gargantuan mobile armor Alpha Azieru.

[edit] Elsewhere and Miscellany

The Jagd Doga appears on page 28 of the 1993 manga Mobile Suit Gundam in UC 0099: Moon Crisis, by Masafumi Matsuura, along with a medley of other Neo Zeon mobile suits. It features both the prominent antenna of the Gyunei unit and mega Gatling gun of the Quess unit.

As with other mobile suits from the movie, the Jagd Doga received two 1/144th-scale model kits (one in each color scheme) in 1988[3][4], and likewise a pair of Mobile Suit in Action (MSiA) figures in 2002[5][6]. Both Jagd Dogas were featured in the recent 1/200th-scale "High Complete Model Progressive" - HCM Pro - lineup in 2006[7][8]. Expensive, high-quality resin kits have been manufactured by B-Club[9].
