[MIW] SD YMS-15 Gyan

 

Mobile Suit Gundam - Universal Century (UC)

---------------------------------------------------------

Although not exactly a grunt unit nor it is an amphibious unit, the YMS-15 Gyan does fit in the description of the ugly mobile suits of the Zeons. Gyan is unique because it was tailor-made specifically for its owner, M'Quve, a commander in the Zeon forces. He commands a mining operation at Odessa and was a subordinate of Kycilia Zabi. His passion is fencing and a certain vase so that might be the main principle of Gyan's design. It supposedly resembles a medieval armored knight but looks more like a chess piece that moves diagonally. True to its owner characteristics the Gyan is only equipped with a Beam Saber and a Missile Shield, making it a close combat unit and is inefficient in mid to long-range combat. The Gyan hasn't seen much action in the original series but has been revived in the Gundam Build Fighters, as its builder Susumi Sazaki is obsessed with it. 

This will be the last of our topics on the grunt units of the UC at the moment. It is also the last MIW's free SD model that you can collect by downloading below.
