Webmaster's notes: The MS-14C Gelgoog Cannon, without a doubt, would have turned the tide of the war if only enough units had been produced in time. Based off the body of the MS-14A, which was usually the best mobile suit on the field, the MS-14C added a beam cannon over the shoulder, the type of fire-power that could easily devestate an enemy ship. The addition of the MS-14B high mobility thruster backpack to the Gelgoog Cannon meant that despite the added weight of the beam cannon it could still move faster than the MS-14A. For more precise combat it could use both the beam nagita and beam rifle of the Gelgoog, as well as an optional missile launcher. In place of the standard Gelgoog shield, the Gelgoog Cannon could be equipped with a less cumbersome forearm mounted shield, though the protection it provided was very limited. The Gelgoog Cannon had an entirely different head from the A type, the main difference being the addition of a forehead sensor also seen on the Zaku Cannon to aid in targeting the beam cannon.
