AMG-06a "Apollo"

The AMG-06a (also known as the Apollo) is a limited production mobile gear designed and used by Jupiter Front. It is featured in Mobile Gear Gundam Blues.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The AMG-06a Apollo is a testbed unit designed to gather data for the future of Jupiter Front's space-based mass production mobile gears. While the frame is able to operate within Earth-based gravity, the Apollo is primarily developed for use in the vacuum of space. In order to quickly gain necessary data, 100 Apollos were commissioned to Meteor Electronics to be built and shipped across the Jupiter Ring of the Orbital Boundaries.

The main body of the Apollo is lightly armored, with a key focus on enhancing the capability and effectiveness of the unit's Auto-balancer system. The chest and waist units (with the exception of the abs section), the forearms, and the lower legs at the knees are the only sections covered in armor components, with the rest left exposed. In combat scenarios, the unit can be equipped with lightweight stainless steel armor for its exposed components. A pair of movable wings on the shoulders, called binders, assist in propulsion-less movement for the Apollo.

The Apollo comes equipped with a single 60mm machine gun sitting in the right breast of the chest unit and a pair of beam saber hilts placed in the backing of the binders. In combat, the Apollo can be further equipped with a long-range beam rifle and a riot shield.

After the mass production of the AMG-09a "Jupiter", which partially used the data obtained from the Apollo, the limited production unit would end up being given to the best pilots of the space-based forces to act as a kind of commander type mobile gear.
