Talk:MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Three phases of the Zeta Gundam

So I came across the Master archive mobile suits MSZ-006 Z Gundam and it said that the Gundam has passed through three stages in Gryps War, just as the Wiki says.

However, can anyone point out to me the changes between the Mid Model and the Late Model? Hard as I tried, I still can't spot any part from the Zeta Plus.

MSZ-006-1 Z Gundam - Initial Model + Wave Shooter

Circa November of U.C. 0087. Equipped with FXA-01K Flying Armor developed at Karaba's request. As well as a shield with built-in thrusters, this version also has enlarged front skirts with increased propellant capacity.

MSZ-006-1 Z Gundam - Mid Model

A major "update package" applied in December of U.C. 0087, after Zeta Gundam descended to Earth and then returned to space.

Modifications: Changes to shoulder, rear skirt, and leg thrusters. Changes to chest exterior, forearms, and knee covers. Increased propellant capacity in shoulders, front skirts, and legs. Grenade hatch added to forearm to support external magazine.

Equipment: FXA-01B Flying Armor, wth enhanced engine output and atmospheric flight capabilities.

Propulsion: Rear skirts house one AE-R-03-2000AS thruster and four AE-R-03-1600ASX thrusters.

MSZ-006-1 Z Gundam - Late Model

The Argama received virtually no support from AEUG headquarters during the early stage of the first Neo Zeon War, but the Zeta Gundam received a final upgrade in March of U.C. 0088. The equipment that was delivered included parts from the Zeta Plus, whose specifications were being finalized at the time.

Modifications: Enlarged chest exterior (Zeta Plus version). Arm frame also changed to Zeta Plus version. Enlarged front skirts. Leg generators replaced with new APR-75-Z4 model, with roughly 10% greater ouput, and weapon latches added. Rear skirt thruster output enhanced.

Equipment: FXA-01C Flying Armor.

Pfalcone (talk) 10:25, January 27, 2016 (UTC) in terms of model kits that the development phases appear, the initial model corresponds to the HGUC Zeta Gundam/MG Zeta Gundam 2.0; while the initial model + wave shooter corresponds to the old HG Zeta Gundam; the mid-model corresponds to the MG Zeta Gundam 1.0; and the late model corresponds to the B-Club Zeta Gundam ver Katoki resin kit.

The cockpit tuneing was also probaly changed to fi,t first with Judau Ashta and then Roux Louka's newtype abilitys so they could better interface with the suits bio system. But this change was probally somethink like the UC equivlent of swaping a hard drive.Guyver92 (talk) 23:09, February 6, 2016 (UTC)
