By the way, why do MS designers shun MSPaint???

Cleaning with MSPaint

Hah, didn't make it! Oh well.

Good luck! I already have a short list of who'd I pick to be the winrar.

In my head I thought a month and a half would be sufficient heads-up for proper planning and time to work, but I guess my personal reasoning and the imaginary land of the internet are different things. I am somewhat weary to know what the voters will say though.

Oh well, Papa Bear knows best. Contest extension to April 4th 11:59pm, central. =o

Limit the April 1st jokes, please.

And yeah, it's sort of stupid to not extend a deadline for something like this. I'm no one's boss or anything, haha.

It was clear to me I needed to go the route of Gundam X for this topic, but what the hell I'll throw in a Leo too!

After the rediscovery of the Tallgeese at the colony L5-A0206 the Earth Alliance began research into building a mass production variant. The Leo which had been in service for 19 years was beginning to show signs of it's age and thus the EA set out independent of OZ to build a replacement. Using the highly successful Leo as a base, new thrusters based on the Tallgeese's Super Vernier's were attached to the shoulders of the mobile suit on a quick pivot system. This allowed for nearly the same mobility with a lower fuel consumption cost. One of the other key features was the inclusion of the Tragos legs which housed two jet engines, these engines would allow for much greater speed inside Earth's atmosphere with a lower fuel consumption cost over standard rocket motors.

The shoulder shield, long since an optional peice of equipment, was made a permanent fixture to the mobile suit allowing for the addition of two fixed beam sabers. In order to account for the beam sabers the chest of the Leo was heavily modified to include a new larger nuclear reactor, This meant adding a new cockpit block, which featured heavier armor thanks to the use of Gundanium in limited quantity. In addition, the Leo TST was given new chest vents to allow for much faster cooling, this reduced the overheat problems some of the older Leo's were experiencing when equipped with beam weapons. In the end, however, the Alliance Development team abandon the project after learning of the OZ-12SMS Taurus, as it was deemed far superior to the Leo TST.

Oh Yeah in less than two hours to the deadline woot!

33J-A-MS Murphy J (MS mode)

33J-A-MS Murphy J (Gunship mode and Subsuit mode)

After the Dark Gundam fiasco during the 13th Gundam fight the Neo American Government felt that their Murphy unit was lacking in power when compared to other nations grunt mobile suits. They still liked the idea of a fast transformable ms that was the Murphy so instead of a completely new ms, the Murphy was upgraded into the Murphy J(jet).

The Murphy J stands at 12.7 meters tall, two meters taller than its older counterpart. This is mostly to make room for the large jet engines that propel it over the ruined landscape. Its armament has also been heavily increased with two fourteen-tube rocket pods mounted on each arm as well as six missile pods, three stored under each arm wing, with six missiles each. Its most powerful weapons are its 30mm gatling gun mounted on the back left as well as its 140mm cannon mounted on the back right which can be fired in Mobile suit mode or Gunship mode. Compared to the original Murphy Everything increased across the board which was what the Neo American government was looking for.
