Technology & Combat Characteristics
The MSM-03C, or "Hygogg", was a development of the MSM-03 Gogg. Although the early Gogg was one of the first true amphibious mobile suits, it was handicapped by several problems which included being under-powered, limited armament and poor performance on land. Zimmad started looking at ways to address the early Gogg's shortcomings. This resulted in the MSM-03C model, first introduced shortly after Operation Odessa. This new machine introduced a number of structural changes in order to accommodate a more powerful generator. Its streamlined shape allowed for greater mobility both on land and in water and used large twin hydrojet thrusters for water propulsion. As it used a redesigned frame, the Hy-Gogg was significantly lighter than its predecessor, however, increasing its performance in mobile suit combat while maintaining proper balance that surpassed its counterpart, the MSM-07E Z'Gok-E. Additionally, production costs were reduced due to the implementation of standardized parts, including the cockpit, derived from the United Maintenance Plan, and advantageous for servicing. While the Hy-Gogg was armed with a pair of machine cannons and torpedo launchers for a variety of combat roles, its primary weapons were mega particle cannons incorporated into the Hygogg's hands, allowing for a wide area of attack. The Hygogg could be equipped with an optional "hand missile unit" on each arm unit, which featured panels designed to blow-away when the missiles are launched.

History
Only very limited numbers of the MSM-03C variant were built. In December UC 0079, Zeon's Cyclops Team special forces was operating three units of this type. These units were used to attack an Earth Federation Antarctic base in an attempt to destroy a prototype mobile suit. The mission failed as the prototype was launched into space before any of the Zeon mobile suits could destroy it.
