MS-08TX[EXAM] Efreet Custom

During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon’s Flanagan Institute conducted research on Newtypes, particularly to find ways to use them in combat. One of the institute’s researchers, Professor Chlust Moses, feared that Newtypes would eventually dominate Oldtypes, so he created the EXAM System, which offered Newtype-level performance by containing the soul of Newtype test subject Marion Welch. Eventually, Moses defected from Zeon and gave his EXAM research to the Earth Federation Forces, where he continued development. The MS-08TX[EXAM] Efreet Custom was one of several variations on the MS-08TX Efreet, but it had a few changes in armament. While the standard Efreet featured several handheld weapons, the Efreet Custom had grenade launchers and missile pods mounted on its body. After Moses’ defection, the Efreet Custom was used by ace pilot Nimbus Schterzen, who used it in several battles against EFF pilot Yuu Kajima and his EXAM-equipped RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1. They later faced each other on December 4 when the EFF launched an attack to reclaim their captured California Base. Both the Efreet Custom and the Blue Destiny Unit 1 were destroyed in battle, but Nimbus and Yuu survived and continued their EXAM-fueled rivalry.
