Combat Abilities
The Tallgeese III is based on the previous two models and like them features superior speed that exceeds that of most other mobile suit. Its armament is similar to the one used on the previous models, although most weapons were upgraded and two new were added. The weaponry now includes a pair of head mounted vulcans, a pair of beam sabers, a retractable heat rod and a mega beam cannon.
Armaments
Beam Saber
For close combat, the Tallgeese features two beam sabers, which, when not used, are stored in the shield of the suit.
Mega Beam Cannon
The strongest weapon of the Tallgeese III is its mega beam cannon, which replaces the old dober gun used on the previous two models. This beam cannon is among the most powerful mobile suit beam cannons and nearly as powerful as the twin buster rifle of the Wing Zero. Its raw strength was displayed when one shot was enough to destroy the asteroid base MO-III.
Vulcan Cannons
A new addition to the armament of the Tallgeese series is a set of head-mounted vulcan guns. These guns can be used to shoot down enemy suits at close range or incoming missiles.
Shield w/Retractable Heat Rod
Like the previous two models, the Tallgeese III also mounts a shield on its left arm for. Unlike its predecessors however the shield mounts a retractable, similar to the one previously used on Zechs' OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon.
History
Tallgeese III is a variant suit of Treize Khushrenada's OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II and was built around the same time as that unit; it however wasn't finished in time for Treize to take it with him to space. After the Eve Wars' conclusion, the Tallgeese III was confiscated by the Earth Sphere United Nation's Preventer taskforce and kept in storage.
In AC 196, when the Mariemeia Army declared war on the Earth Sphere Unified Nation, former OZ ace pilot Zechs Merquise returned from hiding to work for the Preventers. Zechs was assigned the code name Wind and given Tallgeese III to fight against Mariemeia's Army. He first attacked them in space while they launched from their base MO-III. Using the suit's beam saber, Zechs cut down several ships but had to stop when Dekim Barton threatened to throw a colony on Earth. When Dekim fled, Zechs used the Tallgeese' mega beam cannon to destroy the asteroid base. Later, Zechs would use the Tallgeese III to pacify Mariemeia's army of MMS-01 Serpent's in Brussels without killing any of the pilots.
Triva
- After the events of Endless Waltz it is not seen being destroyed, as a result it may be the only mobile suit left in exsitance in the After Colony era.
