The final evolution of the MS-16X [Bishop] plan was the MSN-02 Perfect Zeong. Based on the data obtained from the MSN-01 Psycommu System Zaku units, Zeon researchers constructed the Perfect Zeong. The rockets that were used without the legs on the MSN-02 Zeong were mounted on the legs themselves in the completed version. Overall, three Zeong units were produced, and one such unit was only 80 percent complete and piloted by Newtype ace Char Aznable. That unit was destroyed by Amuro Ray’s RX-78-2 Gundam at the Battle of A Baoa Qu on December 31, UC 0079. In early U.C. 0083, Char piloted a completed Perfect Zeong unit shortly after his return to the Earth Sphere from Axis.
