RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias: The Ultimate Mobile Suit

In the world of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, the RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias stands out as a formidable mobile suit designed for hit-and-run assault missions. This advanced version of the RMS-099 Rick Dias boasts impressive speed and firepower, making it a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Design and Features

The Schuzrum Dias has a distinct design, with a flared-out armor piece on the head of the commander-use version, while the standard type retains the same head as the Rick Dias. Other notable differences include the use of different rear skirt armor, knee armor, and the replacement of the booster binders with gyre binders. These gyre binders significantly improve the suit’s maximum speed and are also equipped with an integrated beam cannon each, increasing the suit’s firepower.

Armaments

The Schuzrum Dias is equipped with an array of powerful armaments, including:

• 55mm Vulcan Phalanx: A high-rate-of-fire weapon used for intercepting enemy missiles and units.
• Beam Pistol: A handheld beam pistol capable of destroying an enemy mobile suit with a single shot.
• Beam Saber: A small device held in the mobile suit’s hands when deployed, emitting high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field.
• AE/ZIM.C-BAZ-531 300mm Clay Bazooka: A projectile-firing bazooka designed to fire adhesive rounds, but can also fire other types of ammunition.
• Beam Cannon: Mounted at the top of each Gyre Binder, with a maximum output of 4.2 MW.

Special Equipment and Features

The Schuzrum Dias is equipped with gyre binders, which contain vector thrusters, an integrated beam cannon each, and propellant tanks. These binders improve the suit’s speed and firepower, making it a formidable opponent. The suit also features Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) limbs, which act as dead weight in melee combat.

History

The RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias was developed by Anaheim Electronics during the First Neo Zeon War and was deployed by the Republic of Zeon as part of their colony defense forces. However, some pilots loyal to the Principality of Zeon’s cause defected with their Schuzrum Dias to Neo Zeon.
