The Half Zeta Gundam is a prototype transformable mobile suit introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 1/2 UC 0087: Another Story and is piloted by Edmund Edgar Smith.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Despite its name and appearance, the Half Zeta Gundam's characteristics is very different from the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam and its variations. The biggest change is that the unit actually separates into two parts - the actual Mobile Suit and the Flight Unit. The latter acts as an independent piece of equipment, and the Mobile Suit has to dock with it to transform into Waverider mode. The Half Zeta Gundam is armed with two vulcan guns, two beam rifles that can dock on the Flight Unit, and a pair of beam sabers.

Armaments[]

  • 60mm Vulcan Gun
  • Beam Saber
  • Beam Rifle

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Flight Unit
The Half Zeta Gundam features a separate flight unit that it has to dock with to change into Waverider mode. This flight unit can also serve as a shield and can mount a pair of beam rifles. Similar technology was later employed by the RGZ-91 Re-GZ; however, the Half Zeta's is more advanced in that it can dock with its flight unit during combat.

History[]

The Half Zeta was originally made as an experiment of the transformable system. After receiving it from Anaheim, Karaba pilot Edmund Edgar Smith modified its appearance to be more similar to the famed Zeta Gundam, hence the name "Half Zeta Gundam".

Sometime after the Gryps War, Karaba spread out as many Amuro Ray impostors as possible around the world to use his fame to boost the morale of their members, while restricting Titans's activities because of fear. A female impostor was caught and held captive in a South East Asian Titans base. While knowing the true identity of the woman, Edgar still piloted the Half Zeta Gundam in a daring solo rescue operation. It was in this mission that the MS showed its true potential, destroying several Hizack, including a one-on-four confrontation.
