Technical
and Historical Notes
|
The Principality of Zeon had begun developing experimental mobile armor during
the early stages of the One Year War, and one of the earliest
designs was the spacegoing MA-04X Zakrello. Rather than the
agile and multi-role concept used in mobile suits, the Zakrello
mobile armor was designed with speed and firepower in mind.
It was equipped with a high-output generator to power its scattering
beam cannon, and mounted large enough thrusters to give it tremendous
acceleration. It also mounted a pair of pincer-like blades for
high-speed, slicing melee attacks. However, what the Zakrello
enjoyed in speed it lacked in agility, making it highly prone
to taking fire and being unable to dodge attacks.
