When man took his first steps into space and started building new structures in the heavens, it was clear that new tools would be needed to perform the construction.
Mobile Suits are nearly as old as the colonies themselves. Most are designed for a specific environment - land, space, air or water. Typically speaking, a mobile suit is approximately 60 feet in height, with a cockpit located in the unit's torso. Mobile suits are humanoid combat vehicles, typically employing two arms to deploy weapons, two legs for propulsion, and a head that acts as a main camera and sometimes houses a secondary weapon that acts as a rotating turret (with the head itself providing the rotation).
