EMS/Tu-S-10 Asad

Description

This mecha design comes from a gargantuan Gundam alternate history story I concocted a few years ago, where, among other things, the Confederacy survived the American Civil War by retreating to the Caribbean and World War II ended with a draw between the Allies and Axis, which leaves the world sort of hovering in a permanent six-way Cold War. I scrapped the whole thing when I realized it was stupid and more or less turning into an excuse to have Gundams fighting Nazis and Confederates and Communists at the same time, but the mecha designs live on.

Egypt was a country I envisioned as a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy, nominally allied with Britain over that whole Suez Canal thing but actually pretty much doing its own thing, much to Britain's dismay. The Asad here is the result of a collaboration between Egyptian and Soviet engineers, as a mobile suit specifically tuned for high speed desert combat with the inclusion of a large jet engine on its backpack.

I don't recall having much in the way of inspiration for this thing, although I suppose I did pretty much steal the shield from the Gelgoog Marine from 0083, sort of.
