Mecha: MS-06F Zaku II

Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam

Concept: The second mobile suit made by the Zeon. It was designed for ground and space all purpose combat. It was the most mass produced mobile suit in the entire One Year War. It was based on the original MS-05B Zaku I, which was the first mobile suit ever created. In other words, it was the ?grunt? of the Zeon war machine. Though it was later outclassed by more effective mobile suits such as the MS-09 Dom, these mobile suits fought to the bitter end at the last battle of A Baoa Qu. 7/10

Style: This mobile suit has a very muscular style. Unlike the Federation Gm, thin and weak looking, the Zaku has a very bulked appearance. Its classic ?Cyclops? was portrayed in ever other mobile suit in the Principality of Zeon. Its spiked soldier was later added on as the pilots of the Zakus complained that they needed more hand to hand combat capability. 6/10

Combat Ability: Even though it was one of the first mobile suits to be mass produced, it was fully capable of combat throughout the war. Thought looking bulky, it was quite maneuverable throughout the war. It also could take at least 10 machine gun blast before going down, while a GM could go down in 3.Its main armaments where a 120mm machine gun with a drum magazine with a Heat Hawk and Crackers (grenades). Some also had Magellan top cannons, which where mainly early mobile artillery and hand held Bazookas. Some later had Cannons mounted on their back boosters, they also sometimes had 3 tube missile pods on each heel. Throughout all the Gundam series, the Zaku preformed magnificently, and I commend it on that.
9/10


Final Thoughts: I like this mobile suit, well, I always liked this mobile suit :p. It was one of the pioneers of MS technology and was very well combat able, despite the fact the gundam destroyed at least 100 -_-??.

Mech: MS-09 Dom

Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam

Concept: A mobile suit introduced later in the war, it was much fast then a Zaku. After testing the Skirt system in combat by mounting it onto a Zaku II, the test data was finished and the Dom was born. The reason for this was the fact of its new ?Skirt? system. Its large legs are actually designed for hovering, giving it a great advantage in any fight. It was a superior mobile suit, and was thought to replace the Zaku. But the Zaku was still in service fighting along side them at the battle of A Baoa Qu. It was basically designed to replace the Zaku II for its speed and agility, it was a good concept, but it was basically another grunt. But it was good none the less, so I?ll only mark it down by one point from the Zaku. 5/10

Style: Well, this is certainly different. It may look sort of like a Zaku, but if you look closely, almost nothing was taken from the Zaku. The head looks basically like a box, but for some reason, it fits very well onto the body. It then has this weird Chest plate thing on the upper body, which really has no real significance. Then the customary plating over the middle of the suit, in almost ever mobile suit in all the series. Now the skirt, something very different. Its large feet have a strange appearance, but still fit on the suit somehow (or I?ve just been watching WAY too much gundam). It looks pretty good, but the head just looks kinda plain, so I gotta give it an eight for that.
7/10

Combat Ability: Combat ability for this suit is superb. Its normal armament is one Bazooka, but it can also be equipped with a machine gun. Its speed and agility make a perfect combo and was highly effective in combat. The three first prototypes given to the ?Black Tri Stars? almost destroyed the gundam, but undoubtedly where defeated. The later Rick Dom, used for space combat, was a modified Dom. By using free space as fuel storage and more boosters, it became easy to use in space. It was also armed with a heat rod, used much like a heat hawk, but as a sword. This is a very capable mobile suit, the agility and speed of the suit make it a great mobile suit. This is a very capable mobile suit in battle, and was greatly used in operation StarDust.
10/10

Final Thoughts: This mobile suit is a great combat weapon, it looks bulky, but boy is it fast. Its is yet another grunt of the Zeon army, and I think the score I gave it was fair. It style and concept took a hit, but I came right back with the combat ability.
