The [[AMX-116 Zaku IV]] is a mass-produced heavy mobile suit that appeared in ''[[Mobile Suit Moon Gundam]]''.

==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
The AMX-116 Zaku IV is the direct successor to the [[AMX-011 Zaku III]], and was designed to address the Zaku III's flaws and serve as an all-purpose frontline mobile suit. As a generalized revision and upgrade of its predecessor model, the Zaku IV lacks any standout performance improvements, and instead builds upon the qualities that the Zaku line had become known for: versatility, ease of use, and reliability. The Zaku IV features superior overall performance specifications and heavier armor compared to the Zaku III, and can be modified with different equipment loadouts, including various "tail" or "skirt" attachments, to quickly and easily specialize for different combat situations. Mass-produced components are used extensively in the basic unit and equipment loadout to minimize manufacturing costs given [[Newborn Neo Zeon]]'s limited resources.

==Armaments==
;*Head Beam Cannon
:Two are mounted on the forehead instead of the single [[Zaku III]] mouth one so they work more efficiently as a turret.

;*Shield
:A large sturdy shield mounted on the right shoulder. Five spare E-Pacs for the Beam Machine Guns are stored on the inside.

;*Sniper Beam Rifle
:A beam rifle with a very long barrel, equipped with a dedicated sensor and a monopod. When not in use it can be stored on the rear of the Shield. 

;*Beam Machine Gun
:Two handheld short-barreled rapid fire beam guns are equipped in this machine instead of the Zaku III's fixed waist beam cannons for better maneuverability. When not in use they are stored on the backpack's cases.

;*Beam Knuckle Duster
:Two handheld short beam blades are this machine's standard melee weapons. When not in use they are stored on the side waist armor's mounts.

;*Large Heat Hawk
:

;*Double Beam Saber
:

;*Beam Saber

==History==
The AMX-116 Zaku IV was produced by the [[Zeon Remnants]] that would later be known as [[Newborn Neo Zeon]] in the wake of the [[First Neo Zeon War]]. Multiple units were deployed in the [[Moon Moon]] incident of U.C. 0092.
