The MSZ-006C1［Bst］ Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" is an upgraded transformable mobile suit derived from the MSZ-006C1 Zeta Plus C1. The unit is featured in Gundam Sentinel.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A high-speed attack version of the MSZ-006C1 Zeta Plus C1, the MSZ-006C1 (Bst) Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" was designed to escort the MSA-0011［Bst］ S Gundam Booster Unit Type Plan 303E "Deep Striker". The original plan was to replace the arms and legs of the Zeta Plus C1 with the same booster units used by the MSA-0011［Ext］ Ex-S Gundam, restricting this machine to waverider form. In order to increase its support capabilities, the plan was revised so that the machine could transform into mobile suit form as well.

The redesigned limbs of the "Hummingbird" are stored inside the booster units when it changes into waverider form. Because this reduces its propellant storage space, external propellant tanks can be installed between its legs. The acceleration performance of this machine theoretically exceeds that of the booster-equipped S Gundam, and it is anticipated that it can be used as an interceptor as well as for long-range penetration missions. As the "Deep Striker" is never manufactured, plans for the "Hummingbird" are also scrapped.

Armaments

• 60mm Vulcan Gun

A pair of physical projectile firing guns are mounted on the sides of the head of the Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird". They have low power but a high rate of fire, and are mainly used to ward off advancing enemies, intercept missiles, etc.

• Thigh Beam Cannon

A pair of Beam Cannons are mounted on the thigh sections.

• Knee Crusher

• Beam Cannon

• Beam Smart Gun

An advanced type of high powered beam rifle, the Beam Smart Gun features a particle deflecting system at the muzzle that can bend the output beam by up to 20 degrees. The weapon is also able to rapid fire at high power briefly. The Beam Smart Gun has two energy intakes that can be linked to the movable frame hard point of the Mobile Suit. The Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" is equipped with the same shield integrated Beam Smart Gun as the original Zeta Plus C1, and has an additional Beam Smart Gun that is of the same model as that used by the S Gundam attached to the bottom of said shield.
