Disambiguation:

The MS-06F Zaku II F Type (ザクII F型 Zaku II F-gata?) is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance. Known user includes the Salamanders Squadron and customized units are used by the Red Wolf Squadron[1].

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Developed by the Zeon military and manufactured by Zeonic Company, the Zaku II F Type is a mass-produced version of the Zaku II series. For mass-production purpose, anti-nuclear equipment such as triple-layer composite armor and radiation shielding liquid featured on Zaku II C Type has been removed, resulting in a lighter and faster machine. As radars are rendered useless under Minovsky Particles interference, the Zakus, mobile suits designed for visual combat, achieved great success in their early campaigns against the Earth Federation Forces. Ace pilots in the Zeon Forces were allowed to have their mobile suits customized with color schemes and equipment that differed from standard units, resulted in many variations. For commander units, head-mounted communication antennas are common.

For Zeon's Red Wolf Squadron, each member's Zaku II F Type features different color schemes and are equipped with customized right shoulder shields as a common feature.

  • Solari's unit is painted in light brick-red color. It has two communication antennas on both side of the head which resemble wolf ears, and has claws painted on its feet as a wolf motif. Her Zaku's code name is Red Wolf Alpha;
  • Chub's unit has distinctive spikes on the left shoulder pauldron which are for intimidation purposes, not for actual combat. Chub's unit coloring is on the shoulders and head. His Zaku's code name is Red Wolf Bravo;
  • LeSean's unit has the shortest combat history and is the least customized, with the unit's coloring featured on the left shoulder pauldron. His Zaku's code name is Red Wolf Charlie;
  • Kale's unit is primarily equipped with a long rifle for medium to long-range attack. His suit is painted in light grey and the unit's color is on the left shoulder and manipulators. His Zaku's code name is Red Wolf Delta.

Armaments[]

  • Shoulder Shield
Mounted on the right shoulder, it is a simple defensive device used to block most physical projectiles. The Shoulder Shields for Red Wolf Squadron's Zaku II F Types are longer than regular units with four strips of armor plates (nails) inscribed at the bottom and with a build-in handle inside the shield to be used as a bashing weapon. Three Shield Guns are embedded between the nails.
  • Shield Gun
  • 120mm Machine Gun
A standard weapon for Zaku type mobile suits. It is a shell firing gun that does not require energy to be used, however its effectiveness against heavy armor is very limited. It holds 100 rounds per drum with spare drums that can be stored on waist armor.
  • 280mm Zaku Bazooka
Another standard weapon for Zaku type MS, the bazooka fires explosive rounds that were quite effective against the armor of Earth Federation's mobile weapons and battleships. It is clip-fed with detachable magazine inserted into the top rear barrel.
  • 3-tube Missile Pod
Equipped with wire-guided missiles for accurate and powerful mid- to long-range range attack, the 3-tube missile pods can be mounted on the hardpoints of Zaku II lower calves as well as forearms.
  • Heat Hawk
An axe-shaped close combat weapon, it uses a super-heated blade to cut through the armor of enemy MS or vehicles. The thermal energy is generated by the power output of the Zaku II F Type's thermonuclear reactor and relayed through the MS' hands. The Heat Hawk can be mounted on the rear waist armor when not in use.
  • Long Rifle
A MS-use sniper rifle mainly used for anti-ship combat as well as against turrets and infrastructures. It discharges specialized rounds at a high initial velocity, which can split into submunitions after penetrating target's armor, destroying it from within. The Long Rifle is magazine-fed and has a special sight on the left for enhanced targeting.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Parachute Pack
An optional back-mounted MS equipment created by the Zeon for paradrop missions from the Gaw carrier. The Parachute Pack contains a single parachute to help in making a safe descent to the ground. Once touchdown had been accomplished the parachute would be ejected so not to hinder the mobile suit performance in ground combat.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Due to animation error, LeSean's Zaku II is seen griping the Zaku Machine Gun's foldable hand grip with its left hand (20:00 in Episode 1), when in fact the hand grip is seen in stand-by position (i.e. in parallel with the gun barrel), which indicates the left hand is not holding onto anything while the gun is fired.
