Zero-Shiki (Added on update ver.0129)

Hello.

This time, I will talk about "Zero-Shiki" from the manga "Mobile Suit Z Gundam Define".

The origin of "Zero-Shiki" is "Hyaku-Shiki" of the original "Mobile Suit Z Gundam". It seems that the author of the comic book has doubts that "Gundam Mk-II (developed by Earth Federation Force)" and "Hyaku-Shiki (developed by Anaheim Electronics)" have a strange similarity. 

If you interpret that "Hyaku-Shiki" was completed by incorporating the technology of "Gundam Mk-II" into the succeeding unit of "Rick Dias", the succeeding unit becomes "Zero-Shiki".

As you can see how the technology was applied, the "Zero-Shiki" design may have been positioned between the "Rick Dias" manufactured in the early technology and the "Hyaku-Shiki" in the later technology.

The performance in the game is getting little by little from "Rick Dias" and "Hyaku-Shiki". However, it seems that it cannot be said that only good points have been adopted. "Zero-Shiki" lost the "Maneuver Armor" that the above two units had in common, and "Melee Priority" was Lv2, so it was downgraded to standard performance. When you notice it, it doesn't look very much like "Rick Dias" or "Hyaku-Shiki", but rather much like "Alex".

The beam rifle, which has a low heat rate and is easy to fire continuously, can be said to be an evolution of the "Alex" beam rifle. High turning performance is still "Alex". However, it's a pity that "Zero-Shiki" can't have "Emergency Evasion Controller Lv2" which has "Hyaku-Shiki" and "Alex".

I think that the evaluation as a unit is an image like "Alex", but it may have a different image as it is actually operated.
