The MS-06S Zaku II Patrol Type is a reconnaissance mobile suit variant developed from the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type. It briefly appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: Apocalypse 0079.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
An MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type variant used for reconnaissance missions, it is characterized by a glossy black finish that provides low visibility in space. The Patrol Type utilized powerful engines installed on the backpack and legs which allowed high mobility. It is primarily used in the dangerous task of closely observing the enemy's vanguard.
Armaments
- Shoulder Shield
- Mounted on the right shoulder, it is a simple defense used to block most physical projectiles.
- M-120A1 120mm Machine Gun
- Also referred to as a "rifle" by Zeon soldiers, Zeonic was contracted to develop this weapon. Its internal development code is "ZMC38III". It can switch modes between single-fire and automatic fire. Although useless against Luna Titanium Alloy, it can still destroy weaker armor material with multiple shots.
History
Two units were known to have been used to observe the departure of the Federation space fleet leaving Solomon towards A Baoa Qu in December 29, U.C. 0079.
