The MS-06 Zaku II Prototype Propellant Tank Unit was a variant of the Principality of Zeon’s standard use MS-06F Zaku II. To extend its cruising range, the prototype mounted two propellant tanks on its chest and four on a specially designed backpack. However, the trade-off for extended cruising range was a considerable decrease in mobility and imbalance created by the weight of the propellant tanks. Its only armament was the standard Zaku II shoulder shield.

A very ARTMIC mail call today. MADOX-01 has the same issues all Moderoids do (bad 80s joint design on the knees) but HJ Vintage has a lot of great interviews with Kakinuma, Aramaki, Sonoda, Miyatake, etc.
A lot of hot takes out there relating to #G_Witch that we will not QRT to elevate that nonsense, but to make something abundantly clear:
#MAHQ is a welcoming community and has no place in it for gatekeeping or bigotry. If you're into those those things, we don't want you around.
