TYP-G12/CMR Typhoeus Gundam Chimera

The TYP-G12/CMR Typhoeus Gundam Chimera is a powerful mobile suit introduced in the 2023 Gundam Build Metaverse anime short, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Gundam Build franchise. Designed by Maria Urutsuki, also known as Mascarilla, the Chimera is an enhanced version of the Typhoeus Gundam, incorporating the Kutan Twin Dragon Type as a Hybrid Armor Launcher (HAL) unit. This combination results in a mobile suit that blends high firepower and advanced propulsion systems, offering exceptional performance despite its 1/144 scale. The Chimera features an impressive array of weapons, including smoothbore guns, a psycho arm unit with six mega beam cannons, dual five-barrel beam cannons, wire-guided beam swords, and dual dragon head thrusters that expel breath-like thrusts. It also utilizes eight reflector bits for remote combat support, enhancing its combat versatility.

The Chimera’s design allows it to transform between its mobile suit (MS) and mobile armor (MA) modes, with the exterior removable to reveal the core unit of the Typhoeus Gundam in MA form. This transformation adds to its tactical flexibility, allowing it to adapt to various combat environments. The mobile suit plays a significant role in the Gundam Build Metaverse series, where it is used in strategic battles, showcasing its advanced technology and powerful combat abilities. The Typhoeus Gundam Chimera stands as a testament to the blending of cutting-edge mobile suit engineering and the tactical versatility necessary for modern warfare in the Gundam universe.
