The Principality of Zeon’s standard amphibious MSM-04 Acguy saw wide use on Earth during the One Year War in UC 0079. It continued to see use after the war with Zeon remnants committed to fighting the Earth Federation Forces. In August UC 0080, Zeon remnants deployed a specially outfitted Acguy team under the command of Daryl Lorenz to retrieve a spy embedded in the South Seas Alliance. Two custom units, known as the Acguy Mobility Types, emphasized assisting friendly units. Type A was armed with a compact heat blade and a forearm-mounted tinbe shield made from the head armor of an MSM-03 Gogg. Type B carried the same cross-shaped shield used by the MS-06K Zaku Cannon. The mission went awry when the Acguy team was spotted by civilians, which led to combat against the Alliance’s SRf-06 Dahles.
