The AMA-01S Byg-Zamuru is a mobile armor from Advance of Zeta Re-Boot: Gundam Inle.
Design & Development[]
The AMA-01S Byg-Zamuru is a mobile armor developed by Zeon Mars, a Zeon remnant faction based on Mars, to support Neo Zeon’s Earth descent operation during the First Neo Zeon War. It was derived from Zeon Mars’ independent continuation of the AMA-01X Jamru Fin project, which itself was based on the MA-08 Big Zam concept. Originally left unfinished by Axis, the Jamru Fin was modified into a smaller mobile armor, but Zeon Mars later developed the Byg-Zamuru as its fully completed form—though an alternate final design had also been envisioned at Axis. The Byg-Zamuru was designed for Newtype or Cyber Newtype pilots and features a green color scheme.[1]
The unit’s primary armament consists of two high-powered diffusion and convergence deflection high mega particle cannons, mounted vertically at the front center of the unit. These cannons are housed within the body sections of the Jamru Fin, which also function as escape pods. Unlike the original Jamru Fin’s simple arms, the Byg-Zamuru is equipped with deflection blades to adjust beam dispersion. Additionally, a foldable barrel system located in the crotch area enables long-range firing.[1]
Like the Big Zam, it features an I-field generator on the top of the fuselage, along with multiple retractable mega particle cannons on its sides, which have been upgraded for greater firepower. A major improvement over the Big Zam is its extended operational time, addressing the original’s limited energy supply. To counter the weaknesses observed in the Big Zam’s battle against the Gundam, a claw arm was integrated into the front of the fuselage, enabling it to engage in close combat against mobile suits.[1]
The design also incorporates elements from the MA-05 Bigro, equipping the Byg-Zamuru with a large booster on its back and four missile launchers on each side of its head. The legs (claws) are foldable and can deploy forward, transforming into claw arms for melee combat. This configuration, known as the "high-speed melee form" or "high-speed combat form", grants the unit exceptional maneuverability. As a result, the legs adopt a reverse-jointed, bird-like shape. Additionally, the folded section in the crotch area unfolds to form a nose, which also acts as a focal point for the high mega particle cannon, allowing for long-range attacks.[2][1]
Despite its intended role in Earth descent operations, the Byg-Zamuru was never deployed for this purpose, as ships equipped with Minovsky Craft systems had made direct orbital drops more feasible.[1]

Operational History[]
In U.C. 0090, the Chester Space Fleet of Zeon Mars returned to Mars, accompanied by Numarsh, a Cyber Newtype from the PG squad, a unit formed from Neo Zeon remnants. During the operation, Numarsh, piloting the Byg-Zamuru, ambushed ReZeon’s inspection force from inside the hangar of the Sadahlan-class Midalahn, initiating battle. She engaged in a fierce one-on-one fight with Gloria Zabi, a member of ReZeon, who intercepted her in the Gundam TR-6 [Queenly]. The battle escalated when a Fenris-Wolf mobile suit platoon from the PG squad intervened, allowing them to regroup with the main force preparing for Mars' descent.
During a bombardment by the surveillance satellite "Eleanor", the Byg-Zamuru acted as a shield for Chester Jr.'s Gelgoog III, sustaining heavy damage in the process. The unit was partially destroyed, and Numarsh was killed in action.
