Of the twelve Zodiacs, seven are Mobile Suits, four are unknown, and one is a battle ship. The Leo, Aries, and Pisces total the same ability level at 500. The Leo has 100 in every ability, while the Aries gains 10 points to weapons and speed, but loses 10 points in power and armor. The Pisces has 10 less fighting ability than the Leo, but has the same weapon ability as the Aries. The Cancer has a 510 total ability. It has the same fighting ability as the Pisces and the same firepower as a Leo, but the Cancer has 110 points in speed and power. OZ saw this as enough of an improvement to mass produce the Cancer as its new marine Mobile Suit. The Taurus is far greater than any Mobile Suit at the time it is created. Its abilities total 555. Having the fighting ability of a Leo, the Taurus gains 10 points in weapons, power, and armor, as well as a large 25 point boost in speed. The Taurus is eventually mass produced as a Mobile Doll, although it retains the ability to be piloted by a human. The Virgo series of Mobile Dolls, the Virgo and Virgo II, are much more advanced than any OZ Mobile Suits. Unable to be piloted at all, the Virgo's are armored with Gundanium, the same as the Gundams themselves. The Virgo was a well-rounded Mobile Doll, and the Virgo II comes close to the abilities of the original five Gundams. The Libra is an immense battleship, equipped with almost countless beam cannons and a large, central beam cannon capable of destroying an entire space colony. The other five unknown Zodiacs may or may not or were yet to exist in the After Colony timeline. There are no records of any of them ever being in service. |

The Tallgeese Series | |||
The first combat-worthy Mobile Suit ever created, the Tallgeese proved too powerful for the average soldier to handle. Hence, it was downgraded to the similiar Leo Mobile Suit. The original prototype Tallgeese was restored and rebuilt to function as a Mobile Suit to match the power of the Gundams. More than three times as fast and strong as an Aries, the Tallgeese lacks in close range combat and weapons, partially due to the inferior OZ weaponry available to the Tallgeese. However, speed is very impressive, and the Tallgeese is actually stronger than the Wing Gundam, if slightly less armored. The Tallgeese has points where it needs them most, and because of this it performs on a level equivalent to the Gundams. Listed are the Tallgeese's ability levels. Fighting 100 Weapons 110 Speed 150 Power 130 Armor 120 Total 610 The Tallgeese II was identical to the Tallgeese, except in paint scheme. The Tallgeese III seen in Endless Waltz improved upon the weaknesses the original Tallgeese had, fighting and weapons. Adding 2 vulcans, a heat rod, and replacing the dober gun with a mega cannon, the Tallgeese III was now a Mobile Suit that could take on any of the Gundams. Note that these numbers are completely unofficial and are as of now, theory. Fighting 150 - with the addition of the extremely deadly heat rod, the 150 fighting gives the Tallgeese III almost Epyon-like abilities in close combat. Weapons 150 - the mega cannon holds all the power of the Wing Zero's twin buster rifle, thus the weapons ability is equal. Speed 150 - using the same super vernier engines as the original Tallgeese, the Tallgeese III still has the same speed. Power 130 - this power ability is sufficient enough to handle the mega cannon and heat rod. Armor 120 - the Tallgeese III is armored with the same Titanium Alloy as the original. Total 700 |

The Vayeate and Mercurius | |||
Created by the five scientists who created the original five Gundams, the Vayeate and Mercurius were made for OZ as Mobile Suits that could exceed the power of the Gundams. The Vayeate and Mercurius were offense and defense taken to their extremes, and were meant to be used in tandem or in groups if they were ever mass produced. The Vayeate was equipped with a beam cannon with the power of the Wing Gundams' buster rifle, with an attached generator so the number of rounds that could be fired was be limitless. The Mercurius excelled in close combat, carrying a beam crash shield and ten planet defensors which set up a magnetic field capable of deflecting even a shot from the Vayeate's beam cannon. The Vayeate and Mercurius were ultimately destroyed during the battle with Wing Zero, and the natural resource sattellite that was preparing to mass produce them was also destroyed by Wing Zero. |

The Virgo Upgrade | |||
The original Virgo Mobile Doll used technology from both the Vayeate and Mercurius, namely a generator-powered beam cannon and planet defensors. Here are the original Virgo's ability levels. Fighting 130 - 20 less than the Mercurius, the Virgo is equipped with four planet defensors on its left shoulder. They provide some close range abilities to the Virgo. Weapons 140 - 20 less than the Vayeate, the Virgo's right arm houses a built-in generator on the shoulder and an attached forearm beam cannon with concentrated, almost buster rifle-type power. Speed 125 - the same speed as the Vayeate and Mercurius. Power 110 - lacking the beam crash shield of the Mercurius, the Virgo has the same power as the Vayeate which is only needed to handle the beam cannon. Armor 120 - although it is Gundanium armor, the Virgo is less armored than the Vayeate and Mercurius. Total 625 The Virgo II was the successor of the Virgo. About equivalent to the original five Gundams, the Virgo II could be equipped with a system similar to than seen on the Wing Zero, where the operator would place helmet on their and direct orders to the Virgo II's based upon how they would see victory being attained. These are the Virgo II's ability levels. Fighting 150 - the same as the Mercurius, due to the eight planet defensors the Virgo II has mounted four on each shoulder. Weapons 145 - 15 less than the Vayeate, the Virgo II loses the beam cannon and instead gains a powerful beam rifle. Speed 125 - the same as the Vayeate and Mercurius. Power 110 - same as the Vayeate and original Virgo. Armor 120 - no additional armor was gained in the upgrade. Total 650 |

The Serpent Mobile Suit | |||
Seen only in Endless Waltz, the Serpent had no base of reference on which to estimate its ability levels. Certain approximations can be made on its weapon systems and performance as seen in the OAV series. Please note that the following ability levels are completely unofficial. Fighting 110 - having no close range combat weapons, but more advanced and stronger than a Leo, 110 points seems correct. Weapons 150 - given the dual gatling gun and 16 missiles, this puts the Serpent a small margin behind the Heavyarms in terms of weaponry. Speed 110 - speed was not demonstrated, but the Serpent must be more advanced than the aging Leo Mobile Suit. Power 150 - 150 power is consistent with the Heavyarms Kai for the power needed to lift a dual gatling gun. Armor 130 - armored with Neo-Titanium, the Serpent's armor is slightly better than that seen on the Tallgeese. Total 650 - the Serpent is the equivalent of the Virgo II Mobile Doll. |
