The MSM-07E Z'Gok-E (aka MSM-07E Z'Gok Experiment) is a mass-produced amphibious mobile suit created by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. It is first featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket anime OVA series.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Z'Gok E was intended to be a test unit improved on the standard MSM-07 Z'Gok. Its data was later used to develop the MSM-07S Z'Gok Commander Type.[1] The Z'Gok-E's propellant storage were moved into tanks mounted inside the arms, allowing it to store up power from the generator and perform a rapid-fire from its hand beam cannon. It also replaced the head-mounted missile launcher with torpedo tubes for additional firepower when operating underwater. To allow for better mobility underwater, structurally redesigned joints and other parts were introduced. The arm units can be withdrawn to assume a streamlined form for improved underwater cruising. The mobile suit would also include a standardized cockpit with the introduction of the United Maintenance Plan. It was powered by an improved generator which gave the Z'Gok-E ample performance.
Armaments
- Mega Particle Cannon
- Beam cannons that feature improved output and firing rate, the incorporation of E-Cap technology has greatly contributed to its increased performance.
- Torpedo Launcher
- Missile launcher tubes mounted on the head, they have been retrofitted into torpedo tubes.
- Iron Nail
- Four iron nails mounted on the arms, they can function as simple manipulators.
History
The Z'Gok-E is an experimental upgraded version of the MSM-07 Z'Gok, which was produced in far fewer numbers than the normal and S-Type versions, and was deployed in several clandestine operations near the end of the war. The total MSM-07E production is not well known but one was identified being used by the Cyclops Team special forces to attack a Federation base on the Arctic on December UC 0079.
Variants
