MS-06-R-3 High Mobility Zaku (Gelgoog Forerunner Test Type)





One of the missing links that often appears in development flowcharts, but rarely detailed by itself.
There is no information that I am aware of that suggests anything about the fate of this MS, heavily implied to have been the only example of the type.  It's worth noting that the MS-11 in this case probably does not refer to the MS-11 Action Zaku.

Clarification



Just to put this out there - it's never going to be my intention to try and get a profile for every Mobile Weapon/Fighter/whatever robot and every character listed at some point, but just to try and provide some information on things that maybe don't get as much coverage, or things I think are particularly confusing.

That being said, I am going to try to post more smaller articles to fill the gaps between the larger and more image intensive ones to try and keep things moving along.

How I decide this is fairly random, but again, I'm always open to requests for information on specific topics as well, so feel free to post comments on what you want to see.

MS-11 Action Zaku

Dolos Analysis



This is an unofficial (let's face it, almost every Gundam publication is) analysis from a 2003 A Bao A Qu magazine special on how a Dolos might actually be able to hold its sometimes-published capacity of 182 MS.  

On another note, a modern aircraft carrier operating four catapults simultaneously should be able to launch an aircraft every 20 seconds in ideal conditions. If we look at the Dolos with seven visible launch ports, we could reasonably extrapolate that the Dolos can launch one MS every 10 seconds, which means it will still take 30 minutes to launch all 182 MS.
