An upgraded version of the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ, the ZGMF-601R GuAIZ R serves as ZAFT's main mass production mobile suit in the postwar period and during the early stages of the second Earth Alliance/ZAFT war. While the basic design is the same as the original, several improvements have been made to its armaments. The head vulcans, composite shield and beam rifle of the original remain, although the extensional arrestor has been removed. In addition, some of the backpack thrusters have been removed. The GuAIZ R's hips now feature a pair of "Pollux IX" railguns that function in a similar manner to the "Xiphias" rail cannons used by the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. At the outbreak of war in October C.E. 73, ZAFT is in the process of replacing the GuAIZ R with its latest mass production design, the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior.
