The AMX-007 Gaza-E was part of the transformable Gaza series developed by the Zeon remnants based at the asteroid Axis. After the completion of the AMX-003 Gaza-C, the Axis Zeon forces began developing new machines with higher performance and more specialized capabilities. The Gaza-E was developed simultaneously with the AMX-008 Ga-Zowmn, but where the Ga-Zowmn was designed for higher fighting strength in mobile suit form, the Gaza-E emphasized cruising performance in mobile armor form. The mobile armor form of the Gaza-E could even fly in the atmosphere while carrying another mobile suit on its back, thus functioning as a sub-flight system along the lines of the Base Jabber or the Dodai Custom series.

Because the Gaza-E was designed to operate mainly in mobile armor form, its handheld armament was limited to a projectile-firing bazooka. The large binders on its shoulders were equipped with missile pods and powerful beam cannons, giving it high firepower in both mobile suit and mobile armor forms. Due to its relatively high cost, which was twice that of a Gaza-C, the Gaza-E was produced only in limited numbers. A handful of these machines were deployed by the space battleship Gwaley to protect the New Desides as they escaped from Ayers City on March 28, UC 0088. There were also reports that at least one Gaza-E was present aboard the space battleship Gwadan during the final stages of the Gryps War.
