Technical and Historical Notes |
Another high-performance prototype developed by Neo Zeon during the First Neo Zeon War, the AMX-107 Bawoo was the first Zeon-style transformable mobile suit which could separate into more than one component. In the Bawoo's case, the mobile suit could separate into two separate fighters, called "Bawoo Attacker" and "Bawoo Nutter." The initial prototype featured a cockpit in each of the two fighters, but the final production version featured a single pilot occupying the Attacker and an unmanned Nutter controlled either via wireless remote control from the pilot in the Attacker, or - if the area's Minovsky particle density was thick enough to jam transmissions - by an onboard auto-pilot computer control system. The two components could also be quickly re-combined into the mobile suit mode. These features made the Bawoo the first mobile weapon that allowed its pilot to effectively control more than one combat unit in the field at the same time. Along with its beam rifle, beam sabers, and grenade launchers, the Bawoo also carried a shield which mounted five, fire-linked mega particle guns, greatly increasing its firepower.
Although initially planned as a limited production unit for high-ranking officers and aces (with one custom, orange-colored unit operated by Glemy Toto), the Bawoo's versaility offered by its transformation systems made it highly popular, and the Bawoo soon found its way into full mass-production.
