Mobile Suit

A Mobile Suit is a type of mobile weapon used in militaries. It is a humanoid combat vehicle, typically employing two arms to deploy weapons, two legs for propulsion, and a head that acts as a camera and sometimes houses a secondary weapon that acts as a rotationg turret (with the head itself providing rotation). Typically speaking, a mobile suit is approximately 60 feet in height, with a cockpit located in the unit's torso. However, exceptions are not uncommon; units that are much larger or slightly smaller are not unheard of, and occasionally the cockpit is located in the head or (in semi-rare cases) the crotch, as well. The name "mobile suit" is believed to be a combination of the terms "Mobile Infantry" and "powered armor suit" from the Robert A. Heinlein book Starship Troopers. Different terms exist to differentiate mobile suits from ordinary space suits used to protect individuals in vacuum; for example, the Universal Century makes reference to "normal suits" or "pilot suits".
Though the exact development process behind the creation of mobile suits varies by timeline, they are generally used for their versatility, with many models being usable in a wide variety of environments; from inside space colonies to open space, across all parts of Earth, and even occasionally underwater or in mid-air.
Mobile suits are typically deployed in a fashion similar to modern-day tanks or aircraft. Working in groups, they are often organized into teams consisting of three to five units, though larger formations in major battles are not unknown. Typically teams are homogeneous, consisting of a single unit type, but may sometimes be composed of complimenting unit types (e.g. a close-combat unit type and a fire support unit type). The latter is most common in teams with high-performance units and experienced pilots.
==History==
The first mobile suit ever developed was the MS-01 Mobile Suit by the Principality of Zeon in the early 0070 U.C. The mobile suit itself is then constently upgraded a few times to create the first combat-ready mobile suit, the MS-05B Zaku I. The Zeon forces then evolve their Zaku I to make a more improved version of it called the MS-06F Zaku II and it's commander type. During the One Year War, the Zeon forces devestate the Earth Federation Forces with their mobile suits, resulting in the Federation to commission the V-Project. The Federations most famous mobile suit at the time was the RX-78-2 Gundam due to it's revolutionary weapons, especially the beam rifle.
