Changes: ZGMF-1000 Kerberos ZAKU Warrior

Revision as of 15:53, 6 November 2019

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The Kerberos ZAKU Warrior is a variant of the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior. It appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Δ Astray and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Frame Astrays.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Kerberos ZAKU Warrior is the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior equipped with the Kerberos Wizard pack, a close-combat wizard pack mainly designed for the TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound. The Kerberos Wizard adds a pair of beam fang systems, a close combat weapon that emits two short beam blades and can be used as a handheld weapon, as well as a pair of beam cannons to the standard armament of the ZAKU Warrior. Both weapons are located in the "heads" of the Wizard. Each of the Kerberos Wizard's "heads" is equipped with its own tracking and target acquisition system, they are thus capable of attacking different directions simultaneously.

Issac Mau's Kerberos ZAKU Warrior replaces the left shoulder's shield with a spike shoulder armor in order to improve the movement range for the wizard's "heads". As for Suu's Kerberos ZAKU Warrior, it is a special unit with performance superior to ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom due to major overhaul of the internal system.

Armaments

Hand Grenades: Stored on the waist of the suit, four hand grenades are among the standard armament of the ZAKU. Several different types can be carried, including fragmentation, high-explosive, and smoke grenades.

Shoulder Shield: The shoulder shield is a distinctive feature of the ZAKU series. Unlike most mobile suit shields which are mounted or held by the left hand, the shields of the ZAKU series are mounted on the shoulder, leaving both hands free to hold weapons. Large enough to protect the torso, the shield also serves as a storage unit for the beam tomahawk and for two spare energy clips for the beam rifle. Issac Mau's Kerberos ZAKU Warrior discards the shield in favor of wider movement range for the wizard's "heads", making it more attack-oriented.

MA-M8 Beam Tomahawk: While other suits usually use beam sabers for close combat, the ZAKU Warrior instead uses a beam tomahawk which can be thrown quite easily, granting it limited ranged combat abilities. When not in use, the tomahawk is stored inside a physical shield, which is mounted on the left shoulder.

Beam Fang System: Close combat system of the Kerberos Wizard pack, it is mounted in the horns of the "heads" of the Wizard pack. It can emit 2 beam blades, 1 pointing directly forward and another pointing to the side. When the Kerberos Wizard is mounted on the ZAKU Warrior/ZAKU Phantom, the horns can be removed and be used as a handheld beam blade. In this form, the horns can be wielded individually or combined, forming a dual edge beam blade.

Beam Cannon: A pair of beam cannons located in the "mouth" of each "head" of the Kerberos Wizard Pack. Due to the design of the targeting system on the "heads", the cannons' effective range are shorten but in return, they gain higher firing rate which is useful for suppressive fire.

MMI-M633 Beam Assault Rifle: The primary ranged weapon of the ZAKU is an MMI-M633 beam assault rifle, which unlike most beam rifles does not draw power from the mobile suit's battery. Instead, the rifle has its own independent battery, stored in a replaceable clip (similar to the technology used in the Eurasian Federation's Hyperion series), with a pair of extra clips attached to a shield mounted on the ZAKU's left shoulder. When not in use, this weapon could be stored on the back waist armor.

History

The custom Kerberos ZAKU Warrior used by Issac Mau, a ZAFT soldier assigned by Chairman Durandal to watch over and protect the Martian ship Acidalium) is a modified version of the Kerberos ZAKU Warrior used by the special forces stationed aboard the Lagash Base. Issac switched from his TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound to this machine after visiting the base together with the crew of Acidalium.

Suu, a violent mercenary who fought for ZAFT in the Republic of East Asia, is also known to use a custom Kerberos ZAKU Warrior.

+==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
-The Kerberos ZAKU Warrior is a mobile suit of ZAFT in the [[Cosmic Era]]
+Kerberos ZAKU Warrior is the [[ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior]] equipped with the ''Kerberos'' Wizard pack, a close-combat wizard pack mainly designed for the [[TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound]].

-==Combat Capabilities==
-The Kerberos variation appears to be designed for long range support, based on it's main armament consisting mostly of trajectory weapons and grenades. Adding to the fact that it was made as a support unit is the compatibility with the Wizard Pack, adding more ranged weaponry to it's arsenal
 ==Armaments==
+;*Hand Grenades
-;*ZR30F Fragmentation Grenade
+:Stored on the waist of the suit, four hand grenades are among the standard armament of the ZAKU. Several different types can be carried, including fragmentation, high-explosive, and smoke grenades.
-:This grenade model appears to be same one used by the others ZAKU Warrior variations that employ trajectory weapons
+;*Shoulder Shield
-;*ZZR20E High Explosive Grenade
+:The shoulder shield is a distinctive feature of the ZAKU series. Unlike most mobile suit shields which are mounted or held by the left hand, the shields of the ZAKU series are mounted on the shoulder, leaving both hands free to hold weapons.

Issac Mau's Kerberos ZAKU Warrior discards the shield in favor of wider movement range for the wizard's "heads", making it more attack-oriented.
-:This grenade model appears to be used for clearing purposed in assault operations involving mobile suits
+:;*MA-M8 Beam Tomahawk
-;*ZR271 Thermite Incendiary Grenade
+::While other suits usually use beam sabers for close combat, the ZAKU Warrior instead uses a beam tomahawk which can be thrown quite easily, granting it limited ranged combat abilities. When not in use, the tomahawk is stored inside a physical shield, which is mounted on the left shoulder.
-:This incendiary grenade model appears to be used for battles in which the enemies are hiding in forest areas providing good camouflage. This grenade can be used to clear out the hiding spots and effectively take out hiding enemies
+;*Beam Fang System
-;*ZR11Q Flash Grenade
+:Close combat system of the Kerberos Wizard pack, it is mounted in the horns of the "heads" of the Wizard pack. It can emit 2 beam blades, 1 pointing directly forward and another pointing to the side. When the Kerberos Wizard is mounted on the ZAKU Warrior/ZAKU Phantom, the horns can be removed and be used as a handheld beam blade. In this form, the horns can be wielded individually or combined, forming a dual edge beam blade.
-:This grenade variation appears to be used more effectively in surprise attacks, blinding the enemies and making more room for vulnerability. It might also be used for sudden retreats under heavy enemy fire to buy more time to escape
+;*Beam Cannon
-;*ZR13Q Smoke Grenade
+:A pair of beam cannons located in the "mouth" of each "head" of the Kerberos Wizard Pack. Due to the design of the targeting system on the "heads", the cannons' effective range are shorten but in return, they gain higher firing rate which is useful for suppressive fire.
-:This grenade model appears to be used during heavy crossfires, obstructing the enemies' field of vision but allowing friendly units to shoot through accurately
-;*Beam Horn
+;*MMI-M633 Beam Assault Rifle
+:The primary ranged weapon of the ZAKU is an MMI-M633 beam assault rifle, which unlike most beam rifles does not draw power from the mobile suit's battery.

-:This beam horn is one of the Kerberos' close range weapon, but it appears it is seldom used
+==Special Equipment & Features==
-;*Beam Fang
+;*Wizard Pack Hardpoint
-:The beam fang attached to the back of the Kerberos appears to be able to extend and attack enemies from mid distance, making it function in both close and mid ranges. It is the most noticeable weapon of the Kerberos
+;*Kerberos Wizard
 ==History==
-Not Many Kerberos ZAKU Warriors were known to exist, but there were at least two. The first belonged to Isaac Mau, a ZAFT soldier assigned by Chairman Durandal to watch over and protect the Martian ship [[Acidalium]]. The second belonged to a violent mercenary who fought for ZAFT in south east Asia.
