Technical
and Historical Notes
|
When
Jupiter Energy Fleet captain Paptimus Scirocco returned to the
Earth Sphere aboard his resource carrier ship Jupitris
during the Gryps Conflict, he brought his personal handmade transformable
mobile armor, the PMX-000 Messala, with him. A very large unit
equipped with powerful thrusters to operate under Jupiter's
high gravitational pull, the Messala was extremely fast and
agile when he operated it in the "normal" gravitational forces
of the Earth Sphere. Armed with a pair of heavy mega particle
cannons and a pair of missile launchers, it packed almost as
much firepower as a space battleship. When transformed into
its mobile suit mode, it also mounted grenade launchers, beam
sabers, vulcan guns, and grappling "vice claws," also making
it highly effective in close-range combat.
