Zaku II Development History (Ground and Marine Units) 

Zeon: heavily invests in producing submarines and marine MS for maritime superiority Earth federation: flies over the ocean Zeon: surprised pikachu face

Marine zaku: *exists* Acguy: You still suck

So THATS why the Gouf looks like a beefed up Zaku. IT IS A BEEFED UP ZAKU

the Zaku II High Mobility Ground Type has Gouf parts........ * Ramba Ral sweats profusely *

MS-06G: Colonel I'm trying to sneak around but I'm Goufy Thicc and the sound of my magnum thighs keeps alerting the fedrats

The Zaku: the most iconic (and my most favorite) mobile suit ever. In Gundam type games I’m always using a Zaku.

imagine the scientists in the MS 06 Je: Scientist 1: We need a new MS!! Scientist 2: lets add a windshield wiper! Scientist 1: perfection

* Sees * MS-06G (Gouf) Zaku II ME: *"THIS IS NO GOUF BOY, NO GOUF"*

So am I the only one who feels like marine MS need more love? I honestly don't think that I could make a top 10 underwater MS battles without some serious digging.

Bandai: "Hey guys, you interested in a standard release HG Zaku Cannon?" Builders: "Finally! Yeah, that'd be great-" Bandai: "JK ZAKU HALF CANNON"

Could we get a development history of the Ric Dom since there are so many variations of this brick of a mobile suit?

What makes this all so sad is that the Zaku, along with the Gouf and Dom, were technological masterpieces. If only their creators weren't exercises in mismanagement.

The High Mobility Zaku Ground Type has got to be my favorite Zaku II Variant aesthetics wise. Especially that Deen West Custom. Thats why i like Zakus, highly customizable and versatile.

6:06 Ah yes, UC's Zeon remnants "stealing" from the Federation's suppliers. Just like how the Blood Ravens "borrows" from other chapters, amirite?

Ah Zeon, still so many damn variants

DUDE! finally! was wating for this video since the series started

Can't wait for you to cover the GM or the Gelgoog development history.

Love these production history videos, and this was my favorite as ever since I started playing Battle Operation 2 I have had this new affinity for the Zaku cannon. the stability and modification of a zaku, a long range support, not to mention it's design. Everything I want in a mobile suit all rolled into one.

I love *Operation Room* playing in the background during the Desert Zaku series.

Ah a good history lesson while introducing folks on GBO2 my Zaku Bazooka

Just on the note of the Zaku Cannon, let's take a pause for a second. Dual weild grenade/rocket launchers, with a 120mm Gatling Gun and other fire arms... Ahem... wtf. This is some good stuff

Part of the cool thing about lore videos like these is that it's gotten me back into Gundam, and looking into models other than just Gundam models. Like I want the Zaku Hizack AND the Zaku Cannon. Both look great! Also, it just makes me laugh that one' Zaku's advanced tech is... a windshield wiper for the mono-eye. Just makes me giggle thinking about how Federation techs astounded by this. "Zeon has adapted car technology to their mobile suits! It can see better in the rain than ours!"

YEEEEES, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE, Thanks dude, now i know more details about one of my favorites MS

Your videos keep getting better! Keep it up!

Keep these coming dude! nice video :D

I honestly love these development history videos cause I am a sucker for weird lore on development of these robots. I hope you do one for the Gouf some day. I know it eventually got phased out in favor of Doms and didn't get to go to space but I love the Gouf and it's varients.

Love these vids. Please churn them out like nobody's business

It's the Zako Zako Hour. Thanks been waiting for this video.

The Z'Gok head peeking up from the bottom of the screen had me laughing hard :D

Nice to see where in the Zaku line the Zaku Cannon came from, have been enjoying the Rabbit Type in GBO2. Its gun and cannon are good, but those rocket pods just rip through MSs.

K-type Fan over here! One weird thing about the Zaku Cannon on the Gundam Battle Universe game is that its Big Guns are actually machine guns instead of rocket launchers. And it uses them as freaking TONFAS!!! I LOVE IT

Yay more kakarot197 video!!

I really like your development history videos.

Love this video! I would love to see line ups of other Zeon units. Doms next!

Thanks to you i am now starting to love zaku

can you tell us more about the California base its seems rather important for Zeon earth forces

Not going to lie, I love how in depth you get with the numerical values for these mobiles suits. I especially love the OYW stuff, as I honestly haven't kept up with the series much past that, so I always enjoy seeing all these abnormal, customized variants made for such specific war-fronts. I actually just ended up pre-ordering a P-Bandai Casval Master-Grade RX-78-2 because it was so interesting to see, and it'll be my first P-Bandai Gunpla. Super excited for when it arrives later this year, though I wish they would make a Perfect-Grade Gouf, or at least Version 3.0. We'll see, I guess. Anyways, totally subscribed, you're awesome, etc. ^^

Ah, yes, my favorite killing machines! Great job as always, Kakarot!

FAV EPISODE EVER THANK YOU.

Kinda unrelated but I really enjoy this video. Thank you for all these great moblie suit Development History videos.

You can really tell the original creature took inspiration from the German Panzer 4 as it had tons of variations and was used in wars as recent as the whole ISIS war in the middle east which is nuts to think about. A 70 plus year old tank still slugging it out with tanks from the 80's 90's and more modern unit too. Really mirror the zaku since those were used up into the UC 90's, this is one the the many things that make the original so good.

that's a great video, make more development history pls

Zeon: Let's make a million mods for one machine, so it can do everything Earth Federation: Let's make one machine that can do everything

I was waiting for this one, honestly would love a standard gm development history even though you went through the sniper variants already.

this was nice.

THX!

Love the Gundam Crossfire music in the background.

I can’t wait for more Zaku development history

My personal favorite Zaku II has to be the FS type. I look forward to it (hopefully) being covered in a future video.

Honestly how can you make a marine Zaku. It doesn’t seem that practical.

Nice!

Always love the lore of these units thanks for posting it also are there manga for mobile-double zeta?

Please tell you will be doing a list on either Gouf types or Zeta Types

Lets gooooo!

In my school vr game the game introduce 2 new versions first was the zaku 2 zeong type where it has zeong parts and piloted by galahorn member gonmo carno which the mobile suit was destroyed in the mission called a dreaded ressurection by goalius who's been possessed by a kiss player ( transformers version of a new type ) and the second version was the zaku 2 acracNETic type this thing was a regular zaku 2 but upgraded with combat data from different creature from the game spidersaur anyway it has a electro magnetic net that can shut a mobile suit down in a heartbeat it has a tail whip from a harshmal and finally it has a backpack that turns into a wrecking Ball the combat data was from Dr amarec sonar monstrous form and it showed up in the arms race to became galahorn top unit piloted by Dr amarec sonar twin sister chief engineer takimera sonar who added a lucky charm Pacificly a spider necklace and a t rex buble head and the mobile suit stayed intake and it was later upgraded to the zaku 2 acracNETic blizios type which was a demonic version now with a shoulder mounted harshmal head on it beam cannon include and it was museumed by galahorn after the barbatos lupas rex it had the same pilot and charms but had a unique difference it didn't have vanilla zaku legs but legs like the kimaris trooper

Damn, no love for marine zaku in the comments

Can you make a video about the competition for the first zeon mass prod MS? Battle between zeonic zaku and zimmad zudah, and perhaps other manufactory, if there are any other

I really would love to see a space-specific variant video.

That Frankenstein G type High mobility zaku II makes me all warm and fuzzy, as I personally like using the high mobility Zaku II Ground Type In battle operation 2 this thing would totally be awesome to have in the game.

The mad lad did it

I FUCKING LOVE these videos! Dude your killing it in the game, please keep it up for all us fans in the west! EDIT: your boy even went in with the model at 2:00 ms-06Je zaku II which the only information on was its head!! IMEAN come on this dude is a legend! Absolute.

Can't wait until the next Zaku development history video... or the Gouf development history video.

Zaku: the AK of mechs, substantially.

Your awesome❤😎👍🙏

I'm double posting, but speaking of Zimmad, I'd really like to see you do a video on their history and mobile suits!

cant wait for zaku iii

I just ordered a Zaku ii, nice!

when will do the development history of the gundam rx series or the full armor gundams

cant wait for the always bulky zaku iii lore video

Looking forward to seeing you continue Zeons Earth specific mobile suits. Gouf Efreet Dom

Finally!

I didn't know the HiMo Ground Type & Desert Type existed until i dropped them in GBO2. The Zaku Desert was my go-to General Type early on but i've since acquired better MS. Didn't know about the alternate version of the Zaku Desert.

The zaku cannon production number discrepancy could be explained that some zaku half cannons were retrofitted into zaku cannons since long range fire support would be more useful for zeon remnants as it would allow them to pull off more ambitious ambushes. It would also allow them to engage at longer ranges which will help preserve their forces since beam weaponry rose to the forefront after the gryps war as the primary armament of mobile suits.

Yes more Zaku probably my first favorite non Gundam Suit in UC because of the possible combinations.

Hey, can tell more about The First and Second battle for Jaburo?

Can we get the Gelgoog Development history as well? Gelgoog deserves a place among the 30+ development histories here too.

Hey Kakarot maybe you could make a video about the YMS-06Z psycomu zaku next???

Zaku it's a part of my childhood,that monoeye is terrifying when i watch Gundam for first time and yet Zaku is the only boxed robot toy that i can only afford when i was a kid since Transformer robot in blister pack is very expensive back then,glad now i can get MG to replace my broken old Zaku,thx to Bandai they keep selling Gunpla in affordable price

@Kakarot197 Hey, when are doing a video of Gundam 0079 Side story: Rise from the ashes?

For Zaku cannon and marine zaku, I think the Federation has mass produced those after the one-year war. That's why we can also see the space type zaku cannon in zeta gundam

The only Gundam Development History video not in the playlist for this series.

What gundams and zakus that inspires ghost stories and have been inspired by ghost stories, mainly I'm curious if any exist.

The best mobile suit ever developed. My favorites are the FZ, FS, F-2 and Recon type.

Kak what do u think of that MS-06JK? Dang that thing is sick

Think you'll do an episode on all the Efreet types?

I just love how versatile the zaku II was compared to many of the other zeon mobile suits. Though next to the zaku's the gouf custom was second favorite ms in the war. Doms were okay but never really liked their design and if remember was very expensive to make. I think zaku II and the gouf custom type would be my main choice for ground forces. Gelgoogs I use to focus on space combat and replace the zakus. Then aquatic mobile suits...hard to choose, but wouldn't use a zaku marine type.

JE is probably an abbreviation for Jager. Most likely a custom sniper unit

What about the zaku heavyarms type they had extra armor on it head and carry the Magellan top cannon they fought on the ground.

Kakarot197 you should do a development history of the Acguy. In my opinion it was the most successful amphibious mobile suit of Zeon.

Does anyone know where more info on the Zaku cannon shown on the right at 7:44 can be found? It’s the first time I’ve seen a picture of it outside of its brief appearance in 08th MS.

Will u do a dev history on the Formula project?

Background music is zeonic front.

Did they ever make a gunpla of the Marine Hizack/Zaku Mariner? Those things looks right up my alley.

So what's the next history video planned?

5:29 Mmm... That Crossfire OST...

zakus are amazing

5 steps that could have easily won the war for Zeon: 1) Reverse the Zaku's shoulders so it can shoot and shield itself simultaneously. 2) Arm all the Zakus with leg missiles and head vulcans (like those on the FS type) by default. 3) Make Zaku variants simple add-on parts instead of modifying the suit's main body. 4) Straighten the Dopp. 5) Shrink and flatten the Magella.

the chest armer on the jc type us also thicker then the standard j type

Question: WHY did zeon MS never really use Vulcan guns like EFF units?

When Zeon mobile suit pilots mention Human types, what are they referring to?
