Technical
and Historical Notes
|
During the
development of its new land combat MS-09
Dom, Zimmad Company modified a MS-07
Gouf to serve as a test data collection unit for the Dom
project. Called the MS-07C-5 Gouf Test Prototype, this unit
was used strictly for test operations and never saw combat.
It mounted extra thrusters in its legs to mimick the characteristics
of the in-development Dom,
as well as a new weapon that would be a standard for the Dom,
the highly effective heat saber.
