Technical
and Historical Notes
|
As the land
combat MS-07B Gouf was
being developed during the One Year War, one of its design features
was the incorporation of thrusters in the legs to allow it to
perform jet-powered jumps. This idea convinced Zeonic Company
to incorporate the idea into its Zaku II
line, and several land combat-type MS-06J
Zaku IIs were modified in such a manner. The result was
the MS-06G Zaku II Improved Ground Combat Type (or "G-type"),
which featured extra armor and the additional leg thrusters
to increase mobililty.
