W006-Bulkeley-HWP

Painted with a more robust Anti-Dust Coating giving it a dull green appearance, the W006-Bulkeley-HWP (Heavy Weapons Platform) is often confused with a regular AA. However, it lacks both the Marionette system and advanced manipulators, preferring to use Magnetic spheres on the ends of the arms to hold the weapons in place and direct links to its computers to fire them. The W006 has a rather striking similarity to a rotund humanoid with optical cameras equipped in the head unit. Its long stride is often noted to be similarly comical. The W006 is often known as the 'Gallier', although the origin of this nickname has long since been forgotten.

However, the W006 is most probably one of the longest serving units created and still is used by the military as a fall back suit. W006's success is often put down to its custom operating system, the Memory Force OS. W006 is pre-programmed with 'maneuvers' (such as jumps, rolls and melee attacks); whilst nowhere near as versatile as the Marionette System, this allows relatively new or unspecialized pilots to be highly effective, especially en mass. Additionally, the weapon loadout, whilst primitive, is still able to punch through most heavily armored enemies and do significant damage to buildings. On top of this, whilst nowhere near as agile as more up to date mobile suits, W006's comical gait is surprisingly fast and can turn very quickly, which is complemented by its low center of gravity that prevents it from tipping over. On top of this, the Gallier's generally simple design and older technology allows for incredibly heavy armor compared with most other mass-produced AAs. Although one of the more effective W series units, the W006 should never be considered in any situation aside from ground based combat as there is no known way of equipping it otherwise.
