Throughout the Gryps War, Kamille Bidan’s MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam earned a reputation as one of the AEUG’s most powerful mobile suits. Because of the Zeta Gundam’s impressive performance, the AEUG attempted to create a mass production version similar to what the Earth Federation Forces did in UC 0079 with the RX-78-2 Gundam and the RGM-79 GM. The result of the AEUG’s effort was the MSZ-007 Z Gundam Mass Production Type. The transformation feature was removed, and the Gundam-style head was replaced with one similar to the MSA-003 Nemo. The MP Zeta Gundam’s armaments included a mega beam rifle and a pair of beam sabers. However, the drop in the MP Zeta Gundam’s performance caused it to be inferior to the MSR-100S Hyaku-Shiki Kai that was concurrently under development. As a result, development on the MP Zeta Gundam was halted and the unit was never mass produced.
