The EMS-TC06 Banzo is a mobile suit featured in the manga Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost. It is piloted by Kosher.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Designed to overcome a beam shield's defense, the main weapons of Banzo are four missile launchers on its abdomen. Instead of directly attacking the target, the missiles are programmed to turn and hit the target from either the sides or its back, avoiding the beam shield's defense. Although Banzo's missile is very small and lacking in attack power, hitting the target from behind is often enough to damage its main thrusters and greatly reduce its mobility. The Banzo also has heavy armor since it is likely to get hit from its own missiles.
By U.C. 169 the Banzo was mass-produced, with the only difference being the visors and white coloration.
Armaments[]
- Micro Missile
- Four micro missile launchers are located in the abdomen. The power of each missile is quite low, and as such it is designed to target the enemy mobile suit's thrusters, reducing its mobility.
- High Heat Bullet
- An anti-MS weapon installed in the missile launchers during the final battle. They are shot into a MS cockpit, which is then incinerated.
- Beam Saber
- A beam saber is emitted by removing the manipulator.
- Beam Shield
- Equipped on both arms.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Missile Storm
