A replica of Zssa discovered by Moonrace on Moon Mountain Cycle. The Zssan is quite different from normal Zssa with different frame and blue paint job. It carries less missile and lacking other armaments utilised by Zssa. Instead, Zssan's arms can deliver "arm punch" attack, by launch its manipulator hand outward and increase impact punching force (similar to Zssa's partner machine in Universal Century era AMX-101 Galluss-J). It's 6-tube leg missile launcher usually loaded with wire anchors that can be use in close range combat. While Zssan never seen equip with any optional booster pack, it alway armed with single 7-tube missile pod similar to one used by Zssa.
