MSN-0100 Hyaku Shiki - AEUG prototype, personalized
high-performance attack mobile suit, piloted by Char during the
latter part of Gryps War. Protected by a newly developed Anti-Beam
Coating, this mobile suit shows a bright gold tone in place of his
favored red scheme.

MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki
The MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki (codename: "Â Gundam"
(Delta Gundam). "Hyaku Shiki" is Japanese Kanji character "S®".
In English means "Type 100".) is a mobile suit built by Anaheim
Electronics as part of the "Project ¤". It was originally designed
as one of the prototypes for the MSZ-006 ¤ Gundam by incorporating
the "movable frame" technology found in the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II and
back-pack wing binders for additional mobility, though defects in
the frame design rendered it incapable of transforming to mobile
armor mode. As a result, its design was revised to eliminate the
failed transformation mechanisms. The Hyaku Shiki sported a
gold-colored frame - a result of a beam resistant coating, and
probably as a gesture of insult that such a mobile suit can be
developed in secret despite the Titans, being also a customer of
Anaheim, closely monitoring them.
This mobile suit was initially assigned to Quattro Bagina of the
AEUG and remained in service until its abandonment during the end
of the Gryps War, following a confrontation between Quattro Bagina
and Haman Karn of the Axis camp. The AEUG space warship Argama
later recovered the abandoned mobile suit but was never assigned to
a permanent pilot.
A beam large cannon called the mega bazooka launcher was also
designed by Anaheim for use by the Hyaku Shiki. While this weapon's
power was sufficient to easily destroy a battleship with one shot,
its power requirements were so high that a second mobile suit
(usually the MSA-005 Methuss) had to attach power cables directly
from its reactor to the mega bazooka launcher. A single shot from
the launcher was sufficient to completely drain the reactor,
requiring the Hyaku Shiki to carry the other mobile suit back to
the hangar for refueling.
Hyaku Shiki first appear in episode 9 of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam A
New Bond, design by Mamoru Nagano.
