Mobile Armor
From Gwn
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.
