The PCX-005 G-Zack is a mobile suit featured in the parody series Mobile Suit O Gundam: Newtype's Light. The G in its name stands for "Grand".
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A heavy reinforcement modification for the RMS-106 Hizack. The equipment package offers changes such as the attachment of a larger backpack unit and a new armor composite. The backpack upgrade allows the G-Zack to have 150% more mobility compared to that of the original Hizack. The other upgrade mentioned retrofits Gundarium as the G-Zack's main armor material.
Armaments[]
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed, and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields). The I-field shell is then filled with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective plasma-cutting blade for close combat. However, the G-Zack couldn't use it in conjunction with a beam rifle due to having a generator with an insufficient output to support both.
- 120mm Zaku Machine Gun Kai
- A recreation of the original Zaku II's machine gun to provide a cheaper and less energy-consuming weapon. It is a shell-firing rifle that does not require energy to be used thanks to its conventional-based ammo; however, its effectiveness against heavy armor is very limited. It features an improved stock and improved accuracy with a Federation-standard sensor.
- Heat Hawk
- An axe-shaped weapon first used by most Earth Federation Hizacks, its name is short for "Tomahawk". Thermal energy is relayed through the mobile suit's hand to heat the weapon's blade, allowing it to slice through the armor of enemy warships or mobile suits. Although both G-Zacks and Hizacks alike normally wield a beam saber, the Tomahawk is required if a beam rifle is equipped, due to insufficient generator output.
History[]
The G-Zack is used as the main mobile suit for both Shinsei AEUG and Super Zeon. Many G-Zacks under Super Zeon authority have a green color scheme.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Shoulder Shield
- Mounted on the right shoulder, the shield is a simple defense used to block enemies' attacks. This shield is reminiscent to that of the original Zaku series of mobile suits.

Notes & Trivia[]
- A Hizack-based mobile suit with a similar name later appears in Advance of Zeta Re-Boot: Gundam Inle, ARZ-106GZk ［Gran-Zack］. The G-Zack's right-mounted shield shares many similarities with that of the original Zaku series, since a minority of the Hizack/G-Zack's designers were originally mechanics of the Zeon Army.
