Technology & Combat Characteristics

The EMS-05 Agg was constructed in preparation for Zeon's upcoming assault on the Earth Federation subterranean headquarters of Jaburo. Built at California Base, it was one of a few highly specialized mobile suits that would aid in the assault. The Agg was designed primarily to bore and smash through rocks to create tunnels for other, more combat capable mobile suits to enter through Jaburo.

The Agg was equipped with two hover jets instead of standard legs, so it could float across the ground instead of walking. To efficiently cut through rocks, the Agg featured two very large drills on its forearms, as well as a pair of large grinders on its shoulders, and a laser cutting torch on its torso. However, the Agg had virtually no combat capability, but its arm drills could be replaced by 4-tube missile pods and a 4-tube missile launcher mounted on its head to serve a more combat oriented role.

History

The few Aggs that were constructed at California Base did not participate in the assault on Jaburo because Char Aznable discovered a secret entrance to the subterranean base and launched the attack much earlier than originally planned. It is unknown if the Agg was recovered or if they were captured alongside many other Zeon prototypes upon the liberation of California Base by the Earth Federation Forces.
