The OMS-06RF RF Zaku (RFザク RF Zaku?) is a mobile suit that appears in the video game Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The OMS-06RF RF Zaku is the product of combining original Zeon mobile suit designs with the designs of AMS-119 Geara Doga. Although its outward appearance was virtually identical to the original MS-06 Zaku II (but the outside pipes are all dummies), it was constructed from modern materials making it much lighter.[1] Similarly, its internal components were based on the Geara Doga's and because of improvement in technology, the RF Zaku not only had a higher performance than the original Zaku, but it could even out-perform the Geara Doga in some areas.[1][2]
Armaments[]
- Shoulder Shield
- The RF Zaku is equipped with a shoulder shield similar to the MS-06 Zaku II, it is a simple defense used to block most physical projectiles. However it is also integrated with a twin machine gun, providing the RF Zaku with a close-range defensive anti-missile and anti-personnel weapon.
- Beam Rifle
- A standard beam rifle of Mars Zeon Forces based on MMP-78 Machine Gun, that fires a directed and concentrated burst of mega particles. Can penetrate most materials that have not been treated with an anti-beam countermeasure.
- Beam Axe/Beam Spray Gun
- The RF Zaku is armed with a beam axe as its main close combat weapon. Additionally, it can be used as a ranged weapon because a beam spray gun is mounted on its top.
- Beam Bazooka
- The beam bazooka utilizes the technology of a beam rifle on a slightly larger scale. The beam bazooka fires slower moving mega particles, causing its beam to widen and allowing the beam to cause damage over a greater area, ideal for dealing with battleships or catching multiple mobile suits off-guard.
- Sea Serpent
- A handheld, wired grappling weapon that can be used to deliver crippling electrical shocks to enemy mobile suits. Its tip contains verniers that helped in controlling its trajectory.
- Cracker Grenade
- Identical to those used by infantry, the cracker grenade is an explosive weapons designed to be thrown or launched by the MS and detonate after a set amount of time. The "cracker" breaks into several smaller munitions over a wide area.
History[]
Built by the Mars Zeon faction stationed on Mars, the RF Zaku resembled the old MS-06 Zaku II series of mobile suits. In the year U.C. 0122 Mars Zeon attempted to invade the Earth Sphere, using the RF Zaku as their primary front-line mobile suit.[3] However despite being one of the more advanced machines Zeon-affiliated movements, most of its technology was based on machines that were decades old. In terms of speed and maneuverability it could not compare to the miniaturized RGM-109 Heavygun and F71 G-Cannon mobile suits that the Earth Federation Forces were deploying to replace the aging RGM-89 Jegan.[3]

Notes & Trivia[]
A locally modified RF Zaku looks like MS-06F Zaku II (Gunner)
- One of the RF Zaku that appears in F90FF Vol 2 Prologue is possibly an easter egg of MS-06F Zaku II (Gunner) from Mobile Suit Gundam Secret Weapons Phantom Bullets graphic novel.
- A horned commander variant of the RF Zaku, similar to the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type, appears in the SD Gundam G Generation games.
- In SD Gundam G Generation games the RF Zaku and its Commander variant never depicted with a firearms, whereas in the mangas it used one.
