MoGe-79 Brook

The MoGe-79 Brook is a consumer-grade Mobile Gear accessible to the general population in the Orbital Era. It is featured in Mobile Gear Gundam Blues.

Technology & Characteristics
The MoGe-79 was produced as a general-purpose, easily mass produced Mobile Gear that could be sold on the civilian level for general consumers to purchase and use. The frame is made modular for ease of production, making the Brook easily customizable to anyone with any know-how on technology and mechanics. This leads to a lot of features not on the base product to be frequently added. Generally, the hope is that the Brook would be used for under-gravity construction duties and homemade projects. Starting price on the Brook is $59,999.99 dollars.

Overall, the base product is a giant central torso unit with a pair of construction arms and back-bent support legs. The torso houses its cockpit (and the pilot) under a hermetically-sealed translucent plastic dome, with above access to the engine unit (powered by a High-grade 100-volt battery that can last 10 hours in constant use) under the pilot seat. The construction arms have three-point movement vertically, with little horizontal side-to-side, and have a pair of support claw hands. The arms can handle over 900 tons of pressure before their hydraulic pumps give out to the weight. The back-bent support legs can handle the same, with the added weight of the torso and arms, and feature a locking system in the toes for full ground support.

Customized variants of the Brook tend to be scattered too far and between, with little consistency overall. What is frequently added is a different cockpit hatch and propulsion system for space-use, fully articulated manipulators for wielding home-produced mobile gear weapons, etc. The original cockpit unit can also be frequently torn out and replaced with military-grade controls. The Brook is popular enough in the black market to be used as a makeshift mobile gear force for either active combat, or transport assignments.
