| REVIEW This is a great figure. It features ver. 2.0 articulation, with double jointed knees, elbows, and ball jointed wrists, and no impeding of its movement by armor or design. The sculpt is fantastic, from the opening grenade storage clip on the left hip, to the vulcan pod on its head. The shield can mount to either forearm, and has a sliding and rotating mount allowing for different poses. Three extra hands are provided for holding the various weapons, including a large beam saber with detachable blade and a mean looking beam rifle. The Base Jabber is just as nicely detailed, and has fold down handles for the Jegan to grasp in flight. One interesting detail is that the Base Jabber can be combined with the Booster Bed's large rockets. This figure definitely rates an outstanding. |

| Unit type: sub-flight system |
| The Base Jabber served as a long range mobile suit transport and delivery system, allowing two mobile suits to ride it in an over / under manner. Each side of the Base Jabber had a flat deck with folding handles for the MS to grab, and foot rests for the mobile suit to brace against the acceleration with. The Base Jabbers themselves didn't go into battle, having no armor nor armament, and instead merely delivered the mobile suits close to the conflict, before returning to the safety of the carrier. Amuro used one of these units to retrieve his RX-93 nu Gundam from Anaheim Electronics during the Neo Zeon crisis. Pilot(s): Amuro Ray Appearances: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack |
| A descendant of the GM series of mobile suits launched by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War, the RGM-89 Jegan was lighter and more maneuverable than any previous GM-series model. Although not as fast or well-armed as the previous RGM-86R GM III, the Jegan was an all-around well-performing unit nonetheless. The Jegan mounted a fairly standard variety of weapons, armed with a beam rifle, a beam saber, shield-mounted missile launchers, three hand grenades, and an optional head vulcan gun pod. Though initially built by Anaheim Electronics exclusively for the Londo Bell task force prior to the outbreak of the Second Neo Zeon War in UC 0093, the Jegan (and many of its variants) would soon become a Earth Federation Forces standard, operated as its primary frontline unit for at least the next thirty years.
