The YRMS-106 Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type is prototype mobile suit introduced in the novel Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Developed by Anaheim Electronics based on the Earth Federation Forces' RX-106 Prototype Hizack. While the Prototype Hizack was a state-of-the-art machine, the Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type was made with mass production in mind and many of its parts were changed for that purpose. Further improvements to the Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type then resulted in the final RMS-106 Hizack. Compared to the final Hizack, the Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type featured a number of differences such as a slightly different backpack, a lack of power pipes on the upper arm sections, the presence of power pipes on the side of the legs, and the leg thruster units being an auxiliary propulsion system that could removed when needed. The Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type used by the Titans as an evaluation unit before official adoption were fitted with the traditional cockpit instead of the panoramic cockpit as the organization did not completely trust Anaheim Electronics.
Armaments[]

History[]
The Hi-Zack entered service with the Earth Federation Forces in UC 0084, and a test evaluation unit, the Hi-Zack Pre-Production Type, was assigned to the Titans Test Team to investigate whether it should be adopted by the Titans as well. Its resemblance to the Zaku made the Hi-Zack unpopular with the Titans, but their need to ensure a sufficient number of mobile suits for their growing organization, they are ultimately left with no alternative.
