The TFA-2 ZuOOT is a Mobile Suit in the series Gundam SEED.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Designed for heavy ground attack, the ZuOOT is heavily armed with shell firing weapons, which consist of two shoulder mounted 2-barrel cannons, four head mounted vulcan guns and a 2-barrel cannon, mounted on the left arm of the suit. If necessary, the ZuOOT can carry a heavy assault machine gun in its hand. The ZuOOT is able to transform into a tank mode, allowing it to move on tank treads, granting it stability and making it a highly accurate artillery platform as well as allowing it to speed across the land. Unfortunatly the Tank mode is no more maneuverability than the Earth Alliance's standard Linear Tank making it far less agile than the TMF/A-802 BuCUE.

History
The TFA-2 ZuOOT is an early-model mobile suit designed for ground combat during the invasion of Earth by ZAFT. However due to its poor agility it is quickly relegated to a second-line artillery use in ZAFT's terrestrial arsenal, and are sometimes positioned on the outer decks of land battleships to serve as extra gun turrets. At El Alamein on May 30 of CE 70, a ZuOOT was piloted by Andrew Waltfeld's lieutenant Martin DaCosta in the Suez battle against a massive Earth Alliance tank corps. Also several ZuOOT's fell into the hands of civilians.
After the end of the Bloody Valentine War an upgraded variant of the ZuOOT was created, called the TFA-4DE GAZuOOT, which is equipped with more advanced weaponry.
