Unit type: experimental mobile suit
Mechanical designer: Tatsuya Tomosugi Note: When Zeon scientists learned the existence of a Federation mobile suit capable of independent atmospheric reentry (RX-78-2 Gundam), this Zaku variation was projected. It mounts wave shields on its back, vernier thrusters all over its body, and attitude control boosters. To avoid a temperature rise inside the body, it's entirely covered with a ceramic coating, and its inner parts are equipped with a cooling system.
