The Zaku II is the Principality of Zeon's standard mass-produced mobile suit. Its maneuverability and heavy weaponry make it more than a match for the Earth Federation's forces. At the start of the war, Zakus wiped out the Earth Federation's space fleet and overran two-thirds of the planet's surface. Over the following months, the Zaku II has been adapted for space, land, and even underwater combat. However, it proves to be hopelessly outclassed by the Federation's prototype mobile suits, and Zeon's developers begin phasing out the classic Zaku in favor of newer mobile suit designs.

 

This high-performance version of the Zaku II is designed for squadron commanders and veteran pilots. Although it has more powerful thrusters and a greater propellant supply than the standard Zaku II, the only external difference is the communications antenna on its forehead. Lieutenant Commander Char Aznable - the famous "Red Comet" - pilots this version of the Zaku II, and it is painted in his trademark colors.

 

The Gouf is a new land warfare mobile suit, based on the Zaku II. Its designers gave the Gouf a variety of melee weapons; built-in finger machine guns, a defensive shield, and an electrified whip known as a "heat rod". The Gouf also has stronger armor and higher mobility than the Zaku II, making it a formidable close-combat machine. In the hands of a master pilot like Lieutenant Ramba Ral, this sinister-looking mobile suit is capable of facing even the mighty Gundam.

 

This land warfare mobile suit is a large improvement over the Zaku II and Gouf. While its predecessors were limited to travelling on foot or making brief rocket-assisted jumps, the jet engines in the Dom's legs turn it into a high-speed hovercraft. With its maneuverability, heavy armor, and powerful bazooka, the Dom is almost unbeatable in ground combat. When Zeon's dreaded "Black Tri-Stars" use this new model to attack the immobilized White Base, our heroes are hard-pressed to fight them off.

 

The Gogg is Zeon's first mass-produced amphibious mobile suit. Like the later models in the series, it's a squat, monstrous machine with thick pressure-resistant armor and multi-segmented arms tipped with sharp claws. The water-cooled reactor housed within the Gogg's torso is large enough to power a pair of built-in mega particle cannons. However, the Gogg can only operate for short periods out of the water.

 

The Z'gok is the most advanced of Zeon's amphibious mobile suits. Its 360-degree mono-eye sensor and arm-mounted mega particle cannons enable it to fire in any direction. With both air- and water-cooling systems, the Z'gok can operate for long periods on land, and its rocket engines give it superb mobility even out of the water.

 

In his attacks on the Federation Forces' Jaburo headquarters, Char Aznable pilots an upgraded, higher-performance version of the Z'gok, which is powerful enough to punch through a Federation mobile suit with a single blow. As usual, the "Red Comet" gives this mobile suit his distinctive personal color scheme.
