![]() Īn axe-like melee weapon, whose name is short for "tomahawk". The heat sword is also known as "Heat Saber". This polymer compound was later replaced by easier to produce ceramic materials. Since the polymer compound's primary ingredient was ceramic microparticles, it was basically a disposable weapon. Initially, its blade was made of a polymer compound that has undergone shape memory treatment, allowing it to be stored inside the weapon's grip when not in use and upon heating, will expand out of the grip and took on the shape of the heat sword's blade. However, it has a longer reach than the heat hawk and is capable of slicing in half shield made of Luna Titanium. Like the Zaku's heat hawk, the heat sword has a blade that is heated to high temperatures in order to increase its cutting capacity. The heat rod could also be superheated to give it cutting properties.Ī defensive armament that can be attached to the left arm, it also stores the melee weapon, the heat sword.Ī melee weapon originally developed for the Gouf series. This retractable cable delivers a high-voltage electrical shock when it comes into contact with an enemy mobile suit, damaging its internal systems and stunning its pilot. Some Goufs were fielded with two 5-barrel 75mm Machine Guns, while others were fitted with two regular manipulators instead.Ī close-range weapon installed in the right forearm. ![]() It fires physical rounds at a rapid rate, and despite its bulky and awkward appearance, its barrels demonstrate limited degree of digital dexterity, including the ability to hold the shield, and to adequately grip the heat sword and various firearms. The MS-07B Gouf's regular left manipulator is replaced by a five-barrel 75mm machine gun shaped like enlarged fingers. One customized unit was piloted by Visch Donahue, which had the original 5-fingered machine gun left hand replaced by a normal manipulator hand, in its place a 3-barrel 35mm machine gun was mounted on the left forearm. Despite its very short production run, several variations were produced in limited numbers and it was still deployed across the world alongside Zakus and Doms. The Gouf's production was cut short by the development of a more cost efficient unit, the more powerful and nimble MS-09B Dom. The Gouf outclassed the MS-06 Zaku II in terms of speed, power output, and melee combat ability, but its overall performance was not great enough to be justified by its increased cost. ![]() It also had a powerful heat sword stored within a shield, and could also use the standard Zaku II weapons, such as the 120mm machine gun or the 280mm bazooka. For armaments, it has the 5-barrel 75mm machine gun in its left hand and a heat rod, which could be used as a superheated slicing weapon or as a grappling weapon with a powerful electric shock effect. It featured much-improved mobility with a powerful backpack and leg-mounted thrusters for jet-assisted jumps based on the YMS-08A High Mobility Test Type. ![]() The MS-07B Gouf is designed specifically for Earth-based, close-quarter MS combat. ![]()
