Yeah, seems like. I looked at the last couple of novel chapters, and they indicate that this version was created by customizing a production model of the Hizack, so they must have simply switched the "RMS" prefix to "RX".DeltasTaii wrote:I have a feeling that if this appears after the final RMS model Hizack, it has this model number because it's an experimental model and there's no relevance to the preproduction Hizack anyways.
Also as per the recent chapters: As previously noted, the Wagtail was created using parts from the GM III project. Apparently this project is an attempt to further extend the lifespan of all those vintage GM units, and the novel notes that even though the GM II has catalog specs comparable to the latest mobile suits, it's still limited by its outdated basic design. As a result, many pilots prefer the postwar GM types like the GM Custom and GM Quel.
The specific parts used in the Wagtail were apparently intended for a high mobility version of the GM III. These parts use Gundarium Gamma alloy in their armor, and they have magnet coating besides. Pretty impressive for a mere GM!
