Amphibious Powerhouse: The MSM-10 Zock
The MSM-10 Zock is a formidable amphibious mobile suit developed by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. This experimental unit was designed to excel in both water and land battles, making it a valuable asset on the battlefield.
Design and Features
The Zock’s massive body is equipped with an ultra-large thermonuclear reactor, providing immense power for its advanced systems. Its symmetrical design features a 360-degree mono-eye camera, allowing for unparalleled situational awareness. The suit’s huge body houses a battery of mega particle cannons, capable of firing both forward and backward, making it a formidable opponent in any direction.
Armaments
The Zock is armed with a phonon maser gun, capable of firing at targets above it, and eight mega particle cannons, providing 180 degrees of line of fire. For close combat, the Zock is equipped with a pair of iron nails, powerful claws that can grapple or smash enemies.
History
The MSM-10 Zock was produced at the California Base, an Earth Federation base captured by Zeon early in the war. Only three units were produced, with one serving under Commander Char Aznable’s forces during the siege of Jaburo General Headquarters. Unfortunately, it was shot down by Amuro Ray in his RX-78-2 Gundam.
