MS-06JC Zaku II

The MS-06JC Zaku II first appeared in the the Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team series. The J-Type models seen in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (1996) were modified forms of the original MS-06J that appeared in Mobile Suit Variations published in 1983. However, the overall specifications published for both units conflicted in many areas. Subsequently, the 08th MS Team version of the J-Type was retconned into a new model, the MS-06JC, so it no longer conflicted with the MS-06J.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
A modified variant of the MS-06J, The JC-Type featured improved rocket thrusters which were slightly more powerful than those fitted on the standard J-type. Despite these modifications, the two models were essentially the same in appearance. JC-type Zakus were notably employed in the Southeast Asia campaign and in Australia, as well as by the Midnight Fenrir Corp team during the assault on Jaburo.
