Technology and Combat Characteristics
The Methuss was the first true transformable mobile suit
produced by Anaheim Electronics for the AEUG under their
"Project Zeta". The suit was used to test the transformation
system which would later be used in the powerful MSZ-006 Zeta
Gundam and the MSZ-008 ZII. Like the Zeta Gundam, the
Methuss was very fast and agile in mobile armor mode. However,
it was only a prototype unit and never was intended to be mass
produced, so the Methuss was only armed with two beam guns,
which were mounted on its forearms, two grenade launchers
mounted in the forearms, and six beam sabers. (It is worth
noting that they are "beam guns" in shape only - because they
are hardwired into the Methuss' generator, it's believed that they
are at least as powerful as standard beam rifles of the time.)

Aside from technology testing and combat the Methuss also

provided use as a support machine, acting as a second power
generator for the upgraded Mega Bazooka Launcher.

Armaments
Beam Gun

The Methuss carries two beam guns, one mounted in each

forearm. When in standby mode the beam guns are stored in
the forearms. When in combat the beam guns flip out in a
forward position. Each beam gun is rated with a power
output of 2.0 MW.

Beam Saber

The Methuss is equipped with 6 beam sabers, three stored in

each forearm where the recharge racks are located.

Grenade Launcher

The Methuss is armed with two grenade launchers, one in

each forearm, to improve it's firepower.

History
Despite the Methuss being a prototype it was still assigned to the
AEUG flagship Argama and used first by Reccoa Londe in the year
UC 0087. Afterwards it was assigned to young pilot trainee Fa
Yuiry. As she wasn't a terribly good pilot, the Methuss was often
heavily damaged, but it turned out to be easy and quick to repair
so it would be ready for the next engagement. Amazingly, Fa and
the Methuss managed to survive the Gryps Conflict.

The Methuss briefly remained in service during the first Neo Zeon
movement as well, again used by Fa against the Neo Zeon task
force lead by Mashymre Cello. The Neo Zeon attacked the
Argama while it was berthed at the Shangi-La colony and,
following the Argama's escape into space, the Methuss was
heavily damaged. Fa, torn between her duty to the AEUG and her
desire to take care of then-mentally-crippled Kamille Bidan, left
the Argama and returned to Shangri-La. This is the last
appearance of the Methuss; presumably, it was abandoned by Fa
and/or collected by junk scrappers.
