For the invasion of Earth, ZAFT creates various models of mobile suits following the production of the ZGMF-1017 GINN. The TFA-2 ZuOOT is a transforming ground assault artillery unit. Throughout the war, ZAFT deploys ZuOOTs across the world from North Africa to the failed Operation Spit Break in Alaska. In the designated tank mode, the ZuOOT can speed across land with its tank treads, but it is no more maneuverable than the standard tank used by the Earth Alliance. Because of this poor maneuverability, ZuOOTs often operated in conjunction with the highly maneuverable quadruped TMF/A-802 BuCUE. The ZuOOT's main armament includes twin shoulder-mounted cannons, but it is also equipped with vulcan guns, an arm-mounted cannon and a handheld machine gun. Despite its relatively poor performance, ZAFT creates an upgraded model after the war, the TFA-4DE GAZuOOT.
Pilot: Martin DaCosta
