Webmaster's notes: The MSM-04G, as evident by its model number, is a variant of the MSM-04 Acguy. Though probably being internally similar to the Acguy, the Juagg is externally a completely different mobile suit, its torso mounting several forward facing hydrojets, and its head having a long, snout-like protrusion. Where the MSM-04N Agguguy is designed for close combat, the Juagg was designed for exclusively medium/long range support, mouting three massive 320mm rocket launchers on each arm. While capable of dishing out a large amount of firepower in a short time, the Juagg is extremely limited in ammo capacity, each tube containing only a single rocket. Because of this the Juagg could only be used in specialized situations in which it will be able to quickly fall back and/or reload. The Juagg could be fitted with stanard mobile suit hands when needed, though most likely the hands were used primarily for manual labor and cargo loading, as they are too bulky to handle most weapons.
