Notes:
• First introduced into service in EC 0001 by Getter Heavy Industries as the mainstay mobile suit of the Romanian Empire, the Leo has slowly upgraded over the years. The Leo has actually changed progressively from earlier models, with only the exterior staying relatively the same. The primary reason for the Leo's long service record has been it's simple adaptability: in addition to a wide variety of hand weapons, the Leo could be outfitted with a winged thruster pack for limited atmospheric flight capability. As the Leo's design was altered and updated, older units would be sold off to civilians, mercenaries and/or smaller countries that joined the Empire, all the while keeping the best units for the main RAF and their own Getter Corps. Despite its age, this version of the Leo was still in use in more remote areas of Europe and some units in extremely rare cases have made their way to other continents. The flight pack adaptors and connection points have been removed from all of these units. |
