RGZ-91 Re-GZ

This article is about a fictional weapon from the Universal Century timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries.

The Re-GZ (short for “Refined Gundam Zeta”) was an attempt from Anaheim Electronics to mass produce the famous MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam from the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo-Zeon War. Because the transformation system was very expensive to mass produce, the Re-GZ instead is able to dock with a special Back Weapon System (BWS) to change to a Waverider-like form. Because the weapons of the Re-GZ don’t work when docked, the BWS is armed with additional beam weapons and missile launchers. Despite this changes, it was later decided that the Re-GZ was too expensive for mass production, so only the prototype was completed.

Story
In UC 0093 the Re-GZ prototype was assigned to the Londo Bell task force, which currently assigned to fight against the Neo-Zeon army led by Char Aznable. The first person to pilot the Re-GZ was the famous One Year War Gundam pilot Amuro Ray, who used the suit in the failed attempt to stop the asteroid Fifth Luna from hitting the Earth. He fights against a Jagd Doga and Char in his MSN-04 Sazabi. Afterwards, the Re-GZ is assigned to squadron leader Kayra Su, who is defeated, and later killed, by Cyber-Newtype Gyunei Guss. During this battle the Re-GZ also looses its right arm and leg. After being brought back to the Londo Bell flagship Ra Cailum, the still damaged Re-GZ is finally used by young Londo Bell officer Chan Agi, who uses the suit to fight against Quess Paraya in the massive mobile armor NZ-333 Alpha Azieru. During the battle, she fires her missiles on the Azieru's cockpit and accidentally kills Quess but also destroys the mobile armor. Because of this, Hathaway Noa, who was in love with Quess, uses the beam rifle of his RGM-89 Jegan to destroy the Re-GZ, thus killing Chan.

There are also another prototype of Re-GZ known as RGZ-91B Re-GZ Custom. Unlike Re-GZ, the Re-GZ Custom is fully transformable mobile suit. It also has more powerful weapons and feature wing binders similar to Zeta Gundam.
