Description

The MSM-03 Gogg is the first successful amphibious mobile suit produced by the Zimmad Company. The Gogg was needed to help secure Zeon s footholds in the Earth s oceans. The Gogg was heavily armored to withstand deep sea pressure. The mobile suit also held a powerful reactor, so powerful that the Gogg could even use twin mega particle guns mounted in its body. The Gogg, however, had no cooling systems and used the water as a natural heat sink. Lastly, the MSM-03 Gogg had ballast tanks also built inside the body, allowing it to travel fully submerged. The tanks could also hold water to cool the mobile suit s reactors during out of water operations, but as soon as the water ran out, its reactor would overheat, forcing it back into the water. The MSM-03 design proved marginally successful. However, it wasn t produced in a lot of numbers and was later replaced by more powerful and better designed amphibious mobile suits, such as the MIP Company s highly successful MSM-07 Z Gok. The Gogg served as a base from which almost all other underwater combat mobile suits were designed.
