Technology & Combat Characteristics
This transformable mobile suit is part of the Gaza series developed by the Zeon remnants based at the asteroid Axis. After the completion of the AMX-003 (MMT-1) Gaza-C, the Axis forces begin developing new machines with higher performance and more specialized capabilities. The Gaza-E is developed simultaneously with the AMX-008 Ga-Zowmn, but where the Ga-Zowmn is designed for higher fighting strength in mobile suit form, the Gaza-E emphasizes cruising performance in mobile armor form. The mobile armor form of the Gaza-E can even fly in atmosphere while carrying another mobile suit on its back, thus functioning as a sub flight system along the lines of the Base Jabber or the Dodai Kai series.
Because the Gaza-E is designed to operate mainly in mobile armor form, its handheld armament is limited to a projectile-firing bazooka. The large binders on its shoulders are equipped with missile pods and powerful beam cannons, giving it high firepower in both mobile suit and mobile armor forms.
Armaments
- Beam Cannon
- This beam cannon is comparable to battleship caliber-class beam cannons and are able to either swipe or slag enemy units and support craft; or, to literally cut through most structures or cities.
- 24-tube Binder Missile
- The AMX-007 Gaza-E mounts a 24-tube missile launcher on its wing binders. This weapon is used against battleships or heavily armored enemies.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is the standard melee armament for the AMX-007 Gaza-E. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by an energy capacitor that is recharged from special racks. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-field and is capable of cutting through any metal alloy. The only way to block a beam saber is to counter with another beam saber or to use armor that has been treated with an anti-beam coating. When not in use the Gaza-E's beam sabers are stored in recharge racks in the shoulder binders.
- Hand Bazooka
- A small-scaled bazooka. It's the Gaza-E only hand-carried gun. While more powerful than the beam gun of AMX-006 Gaza-D, the Hand Bazooka had a slow rate of fire and fairly little of ammunition.
History
Due to its relatively high cost, which is twice that of a Gaza-C, the Gaza-E is produced only in limited numbers. A handful of these machines are deployed by the space battleship Gwaley to protect the New Desides as they escape from Ayers City on March 28, UC 0088. There are also reports that at least one Gaza-E is present aboard the space battleship Gwadan during the final stages of the Gryps Conflict.
