One of the few BESPA mobile weapons to be built especially for use by Newtypes, the ZMT-S28S Gengaozo was equipped with the venerable "psycommu" (short for PSYchic COMMUnicator) system used in Newtype weapons since the One Year War. In the Gengaozo's case, its psycommu system allowed the pilot to remote-control the mobile suit's Back Engine Unit, which was a combination sub-flight system and remote weapon. The Back Engine Unit mounted five fire-linked multiple beam launcher weapons. These weapons could be used as the Gengaozo's primary armament while it was mounted on the mobile suit, or while being operated via remote control, be used for sneak attacks or diversionary raids. In the case of loss of the Back Engine Unit, or its not having been retrieved yet, the Gengaozo mobile suit was armed with fairly standard weapons for itself: a beam rifle, two beam shields, and a pair of beam sabers which also doubled as beam maces. Only one Gengaozo test unit is known to have existed; it was piloted by the highly skilled (yet psychologically unstable) Newtype ace pilot Fuala Griffon.
