The MS-06MP Manipulation System Type Zaku II is one of the working variations of the Zaku II developed at the end of the One Year War. It was featured in B-Club 66 (published May 1991) and Gundam F91 Mobile Suit Variations.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Manipulation System Type Zaku II is an machine designed for precision work, and its standard backpack has been replaced by a manipulation system backpack with four working manipulators. A canopy-type cockpit has been added to the left chest to operate the working manipulators, and the machine is designed to work with direct vision. The original cockpit remains in the right chest, and is used to control the mobile suit itself. It boasts the highest level of functionality for a working mobile suit during the One Year War, but because it was a hastily built machine, the operation of the machine itself and the operation of the working manipulators are separate and cannot be switched.
