Essentially the last in the "Gaza" line built by Neo Zeon during the First Neo Zeon War, the AMX-008 Ga-Zowmn was actually quite a radical departure from its AMX-003 Gaza-C and AMX-006 Gaza-D predecessors. The Ga-Zowmn was also a transformable unit, and both its mobile suit and mobile armor modes were armed with an improved "hyper knuckle buster" beam rifle and a pair of 9-tube launchers equipped with large missiles. The Ga-Zowmn was also armed with beam sabers and vulcan guns in its forearms for close-range and melee combat. However, its heavy firepower made this "general purpose" mobile suit more appropriately used as an offensive mobile suit.
