A ground combat mobile suit capable of atmospheric flight, the ZM-S09G Tomliat was designed to address the problems found its predecessor, the ZM-S08G Zolo. Rather than using the costly and complicated separation/docking component system, BESPA instead opted for a single, fast-transforming body for the Tomliat. With the generator and other parts incorporated from the Zolo, the Tomliat was relatively low-cost unit in terms of production. The Tomliat, in its attack helicopter mode, was capable of re-entering Earth's atmosphere on its own, and many Tomliats were deployed to Earth in exactly this fashion, rather than be shipped down on shuttles or other transports.
