Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2MS-05S Char's Zaku I is a mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga, its OVA adaptation and Mobile Suit Discovery. It was Char Aznable's own customized MS-05 Zaku I.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Principality of Zeon forces had been anticipating a war of independence and thus made their preparations for the outbreak of war by mass-producing the MS-05 Zaku I. However, a few ideas for revisions were suggested based on mobility test data. The new equipment for these suits were then intended for use by the improved MS-06 Zaku II that was being developed at a rapid pace. However, since the One Year War, broke out just before the MS-06 Zaku II entered full-scale mass production, individual MS-05 Zaku I units were fitted with MS-06 Zaku II equipment and deployed in battle as a special type. One of these served as Char's personal machine.[1]
