A Space-type Mobile Suit developed by the East Asian League.

About this creation

The AMS-004S is a mass-produced Space-type Mobile Suit by the East Asian League and was designed alongside the AMS-003A Firebird. This is noticeable with the removal of several humanoid features to help increase function within their respective battlespaces.

The legs have been replaced with multiple thruster pylons.

The two main thrusters are placed on the back.

Additional vernier thrusters have been placed on the shoulders.

The head unit.

The torso.

The cockpit open.

The shield is attached to the left arm of the Mobile Suit and is able to be moved into multiple positions.

Showing the mechanism behind the shield and its positioning.

The missile launcher holds eight missiles that are mounted onto launch rails.

The other weapon option is a fully automatic "grease gun" that is fed from two large drum magazines.

When all ammunition for the firearm has been extinguished, the pilot is able to simply eject the weapon system and switch to the backup melee weapon.

The melee weapon shown activated, design courtesy of Sylphion.

*Twitch's Remarks*
So, this particular Mobile Suit is not supposed to be anything spectacular. I literally made it in one day, start to finish. I wanted to make something that somewhat resembled a traditional Mobile Suit, but looked silly at the same time. And so this is the end result. Enjoy!

Quoting David Roberts Great use of colour and the rotary missile launcher is a neat & clean design that looks great.

Oh no, why did you comment on this!? This Mobile Suit looks SO horrible... Go comment on something WAY cooler. Anyways... The missile launcher is not rotary, the missiles just fly off of the rails. No rotation, they just shoot off. But thank you anywho!

Quoting cyberfrank 2010 great design! the rocket launcher is especially distinctive, and of good taste! bravo tf!

Thank you! I wanted a simple design, and having missiles that launch off of rails like that worked well.

Quoting jd davis I like that missile launcher twitch I personally think that you could improve on that basic design. like making it fire more missiles, make it more compact etc. but as always your work is top notch even this first gen mobile suit

Thank you! There is not supposed to be anything spectacular about this Mobile Suit since it was designed for simplicity in mind.

Quoting Klushots (Formerly Me23456789) Oh definitely. I have professional-grade experience with ridiculousness so I completely understand how fun it is. And it seems that series isn't as little-known as its short lifespan indicated. Or maybe it's just that places like this attract the type of crowd that would know about it.

It is crazy how the show drew more attention after it was canceled after its one and only season.

Quoting Klushots (Formerly Me23456789) "Firefly?" That pilot's name doesn't happen to be Wash, does it? (But really, how many people are gonna get THAT reference?) Being completely honest, it's not up to par with your previous work, but since you said you literally did this in the space of a day I can't really criticize much. Especially with the rate I work at. Looks like it could be an interesting concept for you to work on and refine, though.

Well, there IS a reason that my pride-and-joy Gundam is called "Serenity." And I kept "fire" in the name to show that it was built alongside the Firebird. I know it is not up to par, but since it is a first-generation Mobile Suit I do not expect it to be. It was fun building this since I was laughing the whole time with how ridiculous it looked. Sometimes you just have to do those fun builds.
