The Principality of Zeon’s early mass production MS-06C Zaku II was upgraded several times during the initial stages of the One Year War, including the Type C-5 and Type C-6/R6. The Type C-6/R6 units assigned to Char Aznable’s Falmel Corps featured different thorax armor, and the chest was equipped with a vulcan gun and laser gun. The left arm was equipped with an R6 kit that added extra armor and featured a dual machine gun. Aside from these additional armaments, the Type C-6/R6 utilized standard weapons like a machine gun, bazooka and heat hawk. Eventually, all Type C units were upgraded to Type F, which became the standard version for the rest of the war.
