| Build Grade | Cost | Description
|
|---|
| Mass Production | 25BG | Your Gunpla is a mass production mobile suit. While lacking in base performance, it has a high degree of control. As a result your Control is high, making it easier to translate your movements into actions on the field of battle.
| | Standard Grade | 0BG | Your Gunpla is a straight assembly right out of the box, with no customization or touches applied to the model kit beyond the basic sanding and fitting. This Build Grade option provides no benefits, but costs nothing to apply.
| | Medium | 0BG | Your Gunpla is at an average weight; not too heavy, not too light and just right in all areas when it comes to balancing movement and defense. This of course means there is no added bonus to being this weight type... but there is no handicap for it, either.
| | Physical Weaponry | 0BG | This Gunpla features weapons that are not beam weapons. These weapon types can have a variable degree of fire rates and damage potential, or have special features such as heat or oscillation-type weaponry. If the Gunpla fights with martial arts, they fall into this category. |

Michael Grimme had been watching 0080: War in the Pocket and decided he really liked the look of the MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai. So he went out and bought one just straight off the shelf liking the general use of it. He aims to further improve it as time goes on but for now he likes it just the way it is. He has always had a thing for the Zeon UC mobile suits and this one was decently impressive able to disable a Gundam. As with the general use he likes the array of weapons it can use.
The MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai (ザク II 改) is one of several variants of the MS-06 Zaku II line of Mobile Suits. It was first seen in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket and was piloted by Bernard Wiseman.
Technology & Combat Characteristics Developed very late during the One Year War as part of the "United Maintenance Plan", the MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai ("Kai" is Japanese Kanji character "改". In English means "Modified".) was an improved and redesigned version of the mainstay MS-06F Zaku II. The United Maintenance Plan was an effort by the Zeon military to simplify the production of their different types of mobile suits by standardizing parts and systems where possible.
The MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai featured greater acceleration and a redesigned and improved cockpit. It also had the option of two different "helmet" designs. The "A-Type" helmet, which was the more common design, was similar to the typical helmet of the Zaku II series. The "B-Type" helmet was modeled after the Stahlhelm helmet used by the German army in World War II. The Zaku II Kai's main improvement came from its greatly increased thruster acceleration and overall improved maneuverability. However, this also meant that due to increased fuel consumption the unit's operational time was shorter: about 50% of that of the original Zaku II. It also used a titanium and ceramic composite armor rather than the super high-tensile steel armor of the original Zaku, which proved more resistant to both regular ballistics and beam weapons. In addition, it was lighter than the previous armor, leaving more space for fuel, thrusters and additional equipment.
Finally, its weapons were upgraded. The Zaku Kai featured a new 90mm machine gun, the MMP-80. Although the MMP-80 fired shells of smaller caliber than the standard 120mm MMP-78 weapon used by standard Zakus, it had a higher penetration and an improved firing rate. The machine gun itself was also equipped with a grenade launcher, which despite being a one-shot weapon, proved to be highly effective. Additionally, the Zaku Kai had a new grenade rack on its right hip in which three cylindrical grenades could be stored for convenient access. Its Heat Hawk remained mostly the same as that used by other Zaku units. The Zaku Kai also could equip weapons used by other Zeon mobile suits, such as sturm fausts, which were a large-scale version of the Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon capable of destroying a mobile suit in a single shot.
Due to the MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai's late introduction into the One Year War, only a handful of the units were produced. Few of these mobile suits survived the war. |
