The OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius is the upgraded form of the OZX-GU02A Gundam Geminass 02. It was piloted by MO-V's Odel Bernett when first introduced in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit manga and by Corin Nander in the second manga adaptation of ∀ Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

An upgraded and refurbished version of the damaged Geminass 02, the Aesculapius was created by the OZ Prize as a high mobility, assault mobile suit. It can transform between a High Mobility Mode, which maximizes the performance of the High Torque Thrusters, and a Close Combat Mode which excels in assault. During Close Combat Mode, Aesculapius's backpack and shoulder armor flip forward, and two sets of python claws are deployed over the forearms for melee combat. The python claws are also armed with four rapid shots for ranged combat. Other armaments of the Aesculapius included a pair of beam swords, an accelerate rifle, and two optional beam rifles. The Aesculapius retained the PX System of the Geminass 02, which increases the performance of the mobile suit for a brief period.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Sword
The same close combat weapon as used by the Geminass 02, the beam sword emits a blade-shaped plasma beam to damage enemy unit. Usable only in High Mobility Mode, two of these weapons are stored in this mode's shoulders.
  • Accelerate Rifle
The same handheld firearm as used by the Geminass 02, it has a spiral particle accelerator and fires beams of high-speed muon. Additionally, the rifle can fire a charged "hyper shot" by utilizing the internal electromagnetic condenser. Usable only in High Mobility Mode.
  • Python Claw
Two sets of attack manipulators deployed over the forearms during Close Combat Mode, they are stored in the shoulders during High Mobility Mode. Each set of python claws consisted of three claws, which are actually super-vibrating blades.
  • Rapid Shot
Two beam vulcan cannons mounted onto each set of the python claws. They can also be fired in High Mobility Mode.
  • Beam Rifle
A pair of optional handheld rifles that served as sub-weapons. Their output and range are inferior to the Accelerate Rifle, but as they can be stored on a rack attached to Aesculapius's backpack, they do not interfere with the transformation mechanism.

Special Equipment & Features[]

The PX system takes advantage of the increased adrenaline a pilot feels during combat and also increases the performance of the mobile suit, but does have a time limit which, if exceeded, has serious consequences for both the pilot and the suit.
  • High-Torque Thruster
  • Propellant Leg Tank
Additional leg units equipped with propulsion energy tanks and thrusters. They also function as counterweights for the mobile suit, which has a top-heavy design.
  • Active Jammer
  • Omnidirectional Active Scanner

History[]

Gundam Aesculapius was first used by OZ Prize pilot Roche Nattono to attack on MO-V. However, after he failed to use it properly, it was given to Silver Clown (Odel Bernett's undercover identity). Later, Silver Clown secretly delivered the completed OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe to his younger brother Odin. When Odel's plan was discovered by OZ Prize commander Valder Farkill, he returned to MO-V and brought the Aesculapius with him, although its data was later used by Dr. Berg to create the more powerful OZ-10VMSX-2 Gundam Burnlapius.

In the manga adaptation of ∀ Gundam by Koichi Tokita, Corin Nander piloted the Gundam Aesculapius instead of the AMX-109 Kapool Corin Nander Custom.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Gundam Aesculapius's Close Combat mode is similar in appearance to the MSM-07 Z'Gok from the Universal Century.
  • Aesculapius is the Roman god of medicine and healing with its Greek counterpart being Asclepius.[1]
  • The 2022 P-Bandai HGAC 1/144 Gundam Aesculapius is based on a redesigned version of the mobile suit. Aside from changes in body proportions to match the previously released P-Bandai HGAC 1/144 Gundam Geminass, it also featured several changes in the legs, chest, arms, and the Close Combat Mode (e.g. the armor now covers the entire chest instead of merely stacking on top of it).
