Technical and Historical Notes
Developed at the Zeon asteroid base Axis, the Neue Ziel II was intended
to be the successor to the AMX-002 (AMA-X2) Neue Ziel, piloted by Anavel
Gato during Operation Stardust in UC 0083. Based off a similar body frame, the
Neue Ziel II replaced the original's half control system with a full
psycommu system and funnels. Though the Neue Ziel II featured less
weapons overall than its predecessor, the funnels gave it the ability
to perform a true all-range attack. Its other weapons consisted of
folding claw arms that mounted mega particle guns and beam sabers, a
pair of 80 millimeter vulcans, and a set of missile launchers.
Additionally, the Neue Ziel II was painted red since it was intended to
be used by the legendary Char Aznable. While it was developed in the
first part of the Gryps Conflict, the Neue Ziel II's development was
cancelled due to its high production costs and the fact that the
availability of a Newtype pilot was not ensured.
