OZ-00MS Tallgeese
Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)
Timeline: After Colony (A.C)
Unit Type: Prototype General-Purpose Mobile Suit
Pilot(s): Zechs Merquise
Developer: OZ
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT
The first ever armed mobile suit, the Tallgeese was the creation of the five scientists behind Operation Meteor, and the grandfather of both the Gundams (Specifically the Wing Gundam Zero), and the mass-produced military MS.
It was a well-rounded unit with powerful long-range and melee weapons, while also sporting heavy armor coupled with high power boosters. It featured powerful "Super Vernier" boosters that could dish out an acceleration of about 15 Gs, but it put a lot of strain on the pilot. This and other aspects of the Tallgeese's design were simplified when creating the Leo to reduce production costs and solve the problem of the strain on the pilot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EQUIPMENT
The Tallgeese's primary ranged weapon was the Dober Gun. A high-powered cartridge gun, it was mounted at the right shoulder and could fire beams at an excellent rate with good long range accuracy. For defense, it carried a round shield on the left shoulder that also stored a pair of beam sabers on its back. Finally, it also used a handheld missile pod consisting of two triple missile launchers connected by a grip in the center.
Just like the Gundams, the Tallgeese was also equipped with a self-destruct system, a last option tactic if the pilot couldn't protect the suit and didn't want it to fall into enemy hands. This explosion could have enough power to destroy several city blocks or other large targets if it was necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY
Designed in A.C 170 by the five scientists, the Tallgeese was extremely powerful, but expensive to mass-produce and harsh on its pilots, so the design was simplified; resulting in the Leo. In A.C 195, it was restored by an OZ soldier named Otto, and then used by Zechs Merquise to fight the Gundams.
One of the original designers of the Tallgeese, Mike Howard, equipped it with a large detachable booster unit so that it could escape Earth's atmosphere after Zechs defected from OZ.
In the end, the Tallgeese was destroyed via its own self-destruct system. Its remaining spare parts were later used to develop the Tallgeese II.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEGACY
After its destruction, Treize Khushrenada would design the OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II using the original's spare parts. It retained the equipment of the original and sported a new color scheme and visual design.
------------------OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II------------------
At the same time the Tallgeese II was being built, the OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese III, a new iteration based on the previous two models, was being developed, but it wouldn't be until A.C 196 where it would be finished and given to Zechs to pilot once again. This suit would feature three new weapons, a new head design and shoulder armor.
----------------OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese III------------------
In New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: The Glory of Losers, a new variant of the Tallgeese would be introduced named the OZ-00MS Tallgeese Flugel. This version would be outfitted for space use, and replaced the original thruster units on the back with four angelic wing binders lined with numerous thrusters, giving the Tallgeese more speed and maneuverability.
---------------OZ-00MS Tallgeese Flugel----------------
Finally, there was a custom Gunpla based on the Tallgeese in Gundam Build Fighters called the OZ-00MSVa Tallgeese Valkyrie and built by Greco Logan, the US champion.

Personal Opinion: Every version of it looks amazing, I think my favorite is either the Flugel or the II. Definitely one of Wing's most iconic mobile suits.
