The AMA-100 Z’od-iacok was a prototype mobile armor developed by the Zeon remnants based at the asteroid Axis. This enormous machine was intended to serve as a space supremacy weapon, seizing control of the orbital airspace during Earth landing operations. Its unusual shape enabled the AMA-100 Z’od-iacok to change its orbital vector and maneuver in the upper layers of the atmosphere using aerodynamic braking. The body of the Z’od-iacok split in half to reveal a pair of immensely powerful mega particle cannons, whose beams were focused and directed by I-field generators installed in the forward section of the mobile armor. However, sustained firing of these cannons could overload the machine’s energy CAP and cooling systems, a flaw that led the Axis forces to abandon the Z’od-iacok in its prototype stage. Although there were plans to install a psycommu system and an arsenal of remote bit weapons, the development project was halted before these features could be implemented. During the Pezun Rebellion, the Axis forces donated the prototype Z’od-iacok to the New Desides, who used this machine during their final battle against Taskforce Alpha on April 4, UC 0088. After shooting down Stole Mannings’ MSA-007T Nero Trainer Type and damaging the space cruiser Pegasus III, the New Desides pilots separated the Z’od-iacok into two Zoon units so that they could engage the enemy mobile suits in close combat.
