Su-MBS-P-05 Koba

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.

The Soviet Union's Lightwing Drive mobile suit, fueled by vodka and the People, the Koba is the prototype for the USSR's next generation of mobile suits. Of the world's handful of Lightwing mobile suits, it is generally recognized as the master of space combat, with its variety of strong vernier engines.

I based the Koba off of the Gelgoog from Mobile Suit Gundam, pretty much. Koba was Josef Stalin's original pseudonym, which, if I recall correctly, means "bear."
