The MS-06G Zaku II High Mobility Ground Type (aka Zaku Type G) is one of many variants of the standard MS-06 Zaku II created by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. It was first mentioned in Mobile Suit Variation but never had official lineart until the release of MSV-R.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Developed as an improved model of the MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type, the MS-06G is the final production model of the Zaku Ground Type. Since its development period overlapped with that of the MS-07 Gouf, it shared some of the latter's visual features, such as the shape of the arms and spike armor.[1] To improve its terrestrial combat capabilities under the extra stress of gravity, the joints and leg frame were reinforced. The power cables on the legs have been internalized, the backpack was also upgraded and extra thrusters were added, giving it far greater ground combat performance than the base model. Additionally, the backpack could be equipped with a large antenna as an optional equipment. The shape of the armor, including the shield on the right shoulder, have been modified to be more aerodynamically designed, granting the machine improved maneuverability.

Armaments[]

  • Shoulder Shield
Mounted on the right shoulder, it is a simple defense used to block most physical projectiles. However, unlike the standard shoulder shield, which folds onto the top of the shoulder, the MS-06G's shield is angled off to help improve its defense.
  • MMP-78 Machine Gun
A new model machine gun with enhanced firepower to combat Federation Forces MS. Early and late type models of the MMP-78 Machine Gun exist, with differences in the location and mounting of the grip in the latter. "MMP" is an abbreviation for "Mobile Suit Machine Pistol". The MS-06G's machine gun features a barrel guard and a barrel jacket for improved performance in ground combat.
  • Heat Hawk
An axe-shaped close combat weapon, it uses a super-heated blade to cut through the armor of enemy MS or vehicles. The thermal energy is generated by the power output of the Zaku II's thermonuclear reactor and relayed through the MS' hands.
  • H&L-SB25K/280mmA-P Zaku Bazooka
A portable, physical projectile-type firearm. It is primarily for anti-ship combat and displays its power in hit and run attacks. It can also be used against enemy mobile suits, but it is harder to hit a constantly moving target.
  • ZIM/M.T-K175C 175mm Recoilless Rifle
The main gun of the Magella Attack main battle tank, it was then remodeled as an MS artillery weapon. The Top Cannon was mainly used for long distance ground combat and can be loaded with HEAT or APFSDS rounds. It's capable of destroying mobile suits in a single hit, and can also inflict heavy damage to warships.
  • 360mm Giant Bazooka
The same MS-use bazooka as used by the Dom, it fires rocket-propelled 360mm physical rounds. It is fed by a 10 rounds magazine, and a single round can blow the torso off of an enemy mobile suit.

History[]

During the middle stage of the One Year War, the MS-06G became the single most maneuverable mobile suit on the ground.[2] Due to its late development, only 58 units were produced before production was halted.[1] The only unit that survived the war was captured by the Earth Federation Forces in California Base while undergoing modification.[2]

In 0079 U.C, Lieutenant Gunter Hal piloted a Zaku II High Mobility Ground Type attached with a commander antenna in the African Front. He was feared by the Earth Federation troops and earned the nickname "Hawk of Hogle" when he destroyed 9 Federation fighters in an aerial battle situated above Hogle Mountain in the Sahara Desert. Lieutenant Gunter Hal, sortied a total of 23 times on the African Front, tallying up an impressive score of 32 fighters, 6 bombers and one RGM-79. Around the middle of December, Gunter was transferred to A Baoa Qu with him only spending 42 days on the African Front.
