Technology & Combat Characteristics
Designed by Dr. Berg and constructed by MO-V's Hermann Industry, the Geminass 01 was one of two "G-UNIT" all-purpose mobile suits secretly developed by MO-V. "G-UNIT" is a mobile suit concept, capable of adapting to various different battlefield situations by equipping various weapons and optional parts. This is accomplished through the "linear-lock bolt" mechanism, an electromagnetically powered equipment switching system allowing the Geminass to rapidly swap out its arms, legs, and head, allowing it to switch to different loadouts (known as "units") depending on the environment and the type of engagement.
Software-wise, the Geminass is equipped with the PX (Pilots Experience) System. This system reacts when the pilot's senses are sharpened, and increases the mobile suit's output to maximum level in response. When the system is active, reaction speed and mobility are greatly increased. However, activating the system places a great strain on the pilot, so a limiter was placed on the system. If the limiter is ignored, there is a risk of the mobile suit being destroyed. On a side note, its model number originally began only with "X", but "OZ" was added after MO-V aligned itself with OZ.
History
In AC 195, five teenaged boys use Gundam mobile suits to wage a guerrilla war against OZ and their oppression of the space colonies. Far removed from this conflict, new Gundam type mobile suits are being secretly constructed at the mobile suit factory asteroid MO-V. Developed by Dr. Berg, the OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 and OZX-GU02A Gundam Geminass 02 represents a change in mobile design philosophy. The Geminass 01 is assigned to rookie pilot Odin Bernett, who is at first unable to use the PX system but gains mastery of it over time. Later, the Geminass 01 is upgraded to the more powerful OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster and eventually passed over to former OZ Prize pilot Roche Nattono.
In Gundam EX A, Leos Alloy uses Gundam Geminass equipped with High Mobility Unit and engage in battle against Heero Yuy's XXXG-01W Wing Gundam to collect his combat data. However, Leos end up using the Geminass to shield the Wing Gundam from Extreme Gundam Carnage Phase's attack and has to dive out from the world of After Colony.
