Diorama - 전우(戰友), Comrade

“Paptimus Scirocco”—The-O, the mobile suit of a Newtype who is arrogant and a traitor who used his comrades for his own purposes!

After the end of the Gryps War, the Federation Army, lacking the power to deploy immediately into combat, decided to recover and use The-O, which was almost undamaged. While preparing for a large-scale extermination operation against the remnants of the Zeon forces remaining on Earth, the Federation Army also did not want to send The-O, a Newtype's mobile suit, back into space. Therefore, they strategically chose to utilize The-O's high output to equip it with a large ground-combat cannon and Gatling gun, positioning it as a long-range support unit. [World Setting of the Work]

In modern warfare, tanks and escort infantry, having established a bond of comradeship through combat, risk their lives to protect each other. Inspired by this fact, the depiction of Federal Army infantry saluting The-O before sortie with the hope for each other's safe return expresses that The-O, modified and deployed as a ground combat type, has been reborn from a traitor's machine into a true weapon of war that protects the lives of its comrades.
