Methuss

The MSA-005 Methuss is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and is a transformable mobile suit featured in The Knights of the Multiverse, appearing in a major supporting role in the Mini-Series while only making a couple of appearances in the beginning of Season 1.

It would later be used as the basis for the Orguss.

Pre-Series
The Methuss was the first true transformable mobile suit produced by Anaheim Electronics for the AEUG under their "Project Zeta". It served as a testbed for the transformation structure and the gathered data was later used in the development of MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. Like the Zeta, the Methuss was very fast and agile in mobile armor mode. However, as a prototype unit, it was only armed with two arm beam guns and six beam sabers. Despite being a prototype, the Methuss was still assigned to the AEUG flagship Argama and used first by Reccoa Londe in UC 0087. Afterwards, it was assigned to young pilot trainee Fa Yuiry. As she wasn't a terribly good pilot, the Methuss was often heavily damaged, but it turned out to be easy and quick to repair so it would be ready for the next engagement.

Armaments
The Methuss is capable of transforming into a space fighter-like mobile armor form, and it's quite fast and agile in this form. However, its mobile suit mode is lacking in combat abilities, as its weaponry is limited to the pair of beam guns on its forearms.
 * Transformation


 * Arm Beam Gun

The Methuss has one beam gun stored in each forearm, which flip forward when in use, and are powered directly by the Methuss' generator. It can also flip forward when in Mobile Armor mode.


 * Beam Saber

The Methuss is equipped with six standard beam sabers (three stored in each leg) and they can emit either a standard beam blade or an alternate axe-shaped blade each.
