At this point, the mobile armor plan considered before the outbreak of war resurfaced. The mobile armor is a large mobile weapon that is not limited to humanoid form, and the first prototype machine was a high-speed space boat equipped with a manipulators and a powered-down mega particle cannon. At the time, due to a strong desire for versatility and working capabilities, the mobile armor plan was defeated by the mobile suit plan.

Another factor in the birth of the mobile armor was the existence of the psycommu system. This system was a man-machine interface developed by the Newtype research institute known as the Flanagan Agency. Simply explained, it allows machines to read human thoughts and transmit them to other terminal machines. Direct control via brainwaves made for extremely high transmission speeds, but because the system itself was very large, it could not be installed in a mobile suit.

After the completion of the space combat mobile armor known as the MA-05 Bigro, the psycommu-equipped MAN-03 Braw Bro was developed. While it remained in the category of a test machine, it was equipped with four wired mega particle cannons, and although it normally required a crew of three people all its cannons could be operated by a single Newtype pilot using a psycommu system.

Further psycommu research produced an unexpected byproduct in the form of reactive waves (psycho-waves) that were entirely unaffected by Minovsky particles. These could be detected in people with high Newtype abilities, and a new mobile armor was developed in order to apply their power to wireless weapons. This was the MAN-08 Elmeth, a Newtype machine equipped with unmanned combat pods known as bits. Ultracompact nuclear fusion reactors were installed in these bits, enabling them to fly at high speeds and attack with mega particle cannons.

The MSN-02 Zeong was developed in order to equip a mobile suit with this psycommu system. Naturally its body was enlarged, but its offensive capabilities were tremendous.

Other machines also appeared, such as the underwater MAM-07 Grabro and the MA-08 Big Zam that was equipped with anti-beam deflection field generators for fortress defense.

Because there is no standard type of Mobile Armor, it is difficult to identify the common features of this weapon. Their performance is also hard to compare because the size and functional environment varies widely depending on the model. They do not necessarily have manipulators or walking systems, and these are completely omitted in models that do not require them. This is because these weapons are designed to suit their respective purposes, discarding the kind of versatility possessed by a mobile suit. As described in the MS Development History, mobile armors are descended from space combat ships, and unlike mobile suits they are wholly unconcerned with the humanoid form.

History

The Mobile Suit demonstrated its superiority during war with its high versatility. When local warfare became more diverse, situations arose to which this general-purpose weapon could not adapt. Aside from the adaptation of general-purpose machines for local warfare, governments developed new support weapons. A Mobile Armor is a large Mobile Weapon that is not limited to humanoid form.

Features

Common features include a large nuclear fusion reactor far surpassing that of a mobile suit, high-output mega particle cannons, and mobility surpassing that of mobile suits and other existing weapons. New technological knowhow derived from mobile suits was incorporated in their development, and in a sense they could be called a development or enlargement of the mobile suit. Although many mobile armors are designed for space combat, they can also function adequately in the atmosphere if equipped with Repulsor-drive systems.
