Technical and Historical Notes

Produced at the Principality of Zeon's California Base during the latter weeks of the Universal Century Era's One Year War, the MSM-10 Zock was one of the last amphibious mobile suits to be produced - though its form represented the shift from mobile suits to the new mobile armor concept. With the thrusters in its armor "skirt" and short, non-functional feet, the Zock could best be described as a hovering gun emplacement, capable of covering all angles of attack with its front-and-back symmetrical design. Only three Zock units were produced, with one of them serving under Commander Char Aznable's forces during his assault on the Federation's Jaburo base on 30 November UC 0079.
