OZ-00MS Tallgeese: The OZ-00MS Tallgeese is a Mobile Suit introduced in the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing anime. Its primary pilot is Zechs Merquise. Designed by the five scientists, the Tallgeese was the first armed mobile suit, and is the common ancestor of both the Gundams (specifically their prototype, the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero) and the mass-produced military mobile suits (most notably the OZ-06MS Leo and its variants).
The Tallgeese was a well-rounded unit featuring both long-range and melee weapons, and also has heavy armor coupled with high power "Super Vernier" boosters. Unfortunately, performing high-speed movement put an immense g-force strain on the pilot, with one theory saying the pilot would experience as much as 15 Gs. To solve this problem and reduce production costs, the Tallgeese's design was simplified to create the Leo. After Zechs defected from OZ, Mike Howard, one of the original designers of the Tallgeese, equipped the suit with a large detachable booster unit that allows it to escape the Earth's atmosphere. In the EW version, a "Tempest" Heat Lance and Heat Halberd were added to its arsenal, and the suit was eventually upgraded into the OZ-00MS Tallgeese Flugel whereby the "Super Vernier" boosters were replaced with wing binders for better mobility in space.
