Technical and Historical Notes
The AMA-100 Z'od-iacok can separate into two independent mobile armors, which are referred to as Zoon I and Zoon II. Like the completed Z'od-iacok, these machines can maneuver in the upper layers of the atmosphere using aerodynamic braking, and each Zoon is armed with a powerful mega particle cannon.
For close combat situations, the Zoon can transform from its streamlined cruising form into a "fighting form" with crude arms and legs. Its arms terminate in wired beam claws controlled via a quasi-psycommu system, and these claws can function as beam cannons or beam sabers depending on the situation.
During the final battle of the Pezun Rebellion on April 4, UC 0088, the New Desides pilots use the separated Zoon units to battle the mobile suits of Taskforce Alpha. Fast Side's Zoon II is destroyed when its mega particle cannon overloads, and Tosh Cray abandons the Zoon I after setting it on a collision course to the Earth Federation capital in Dakar. However, the falling Zoon I is destroyed by the MSA-0011 S Gundam as it enters the atmosphere.
Miscellaneous Information
Pilot(s): Tosh Cray (Zoon I), Fast Side (Zoon II)
Appearances:Gundam Sentinel Original mechanical designer: Hajime Katoki Note:
Although each Zoon supposedly has six small beam cannons and six beam sabers, it's not clear whether these are installed in the "fingers" of the wired beam claws or elsewhere in the machine. The images in Gundam WARS III and the animation in the G Generation games show beams emitted only from the central barrel of the beam claw.
