This huge
transformable mobile armor
is a handmade creation of the brilliant
Paptimus Scirocco,
constructed aboard the transport ship
Jupitris
during its round trip to the outer reaches of the solar system. The Messala's powerful engines are designed to counter the pull of Jupiter's gravity, and its
mega particle cannons
and
missile
pods give it firepower comparable to that of a space warship. In its
mobile suit
form, the Messala's
beam sabers,
forearm claws, and
grenade
launchers make it a formidable foe in close combat as well. As Scirocco continues his mobile suit development efforts, he hands this early work down to a succession of his loyal followers.
