MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Type

Brief information :-
At nearly twice the mass of the Gundam Virtue, the mainstay mobile suit of the Human Reform League is comparable in design to a bipedal tank, markedly less advanced and less maneuverable than the mass-production types of the other major powers. Unlike all other mobile suits in Gundam 00, and indeed in the Gundam metaseries as a whole, the Tieren series (with two exceptions) have no cockpit display screens. Instead, the pilot wears a virtual reality helmet which connects to the mobile suit's sensors. Despite this the Tieren is still reliable, which is why it hasn't been replaced.
