The Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Gundam series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Based on the earlier MS-05A Zaku I Early Type, the MS-06 Zaku II was a mass-produced, general-purpose mobile suit that formed the vast bulk of Zeon's military forces during the One Year War against the Earth Federation Forces and would remain in general use even by the time of the First Neo Zeon War.

Aside from its standard shoulder-mounted shield to block incoming fire, the Zaku II most commonly was armed with a hand-held ZMP-50D 120mm Machine Gun. Examples for other weapon options include leg-mounted rocket pods and the axe-shaped Heat Hawk Type 5 close combat weapon.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

The Zaku II made its first appearance during PilotMania. Presumably owing to its staggering height, the mobile suit crushed Gintoki Sakata, resisted Dr Robotnik's attempt to gain control over it, and brought Green Soldier to an early grave. it was only when the Zaku II was met by the equally gigantic Brauggi that its steel-alloy armor proved inadequate.

Another Zaku II, this time piloted by no-one other than Zeon Space Force Commander Dozle Zabi, appeared in 8chanmania LXIX. They were defeated by the hands of the Engineer, who consequently also claimed the mobile suit for himself; only to lose it to Luca Blight later.

Yet another Zaku II formed a tag team with the Maxter Gundam for 8chanmania LXXVI. They lost to two fellow robotic opponents in the form of Mega Man X and Zero.

The Zaku II that participated in 8chanmania LXXX disappointly got taken out by Tina Armstrong during the preliminaries.

A similar fate befell the Zaku sent to 8chanmania LXXXIV, as it was defeated and subsequently blown up by Starman right in the first round.

By the time of 8chanmania LXXXVII, the Zaku II once looted by the TF2 Engineer once more found its way into the hands of the former, and thus acted as its tag team partner. The Texan and the Zeonian won a promising first victory against Yukari Akiyama and the USS Iowa, after which Engi allowed the utterly fascinated Yukari to ride the gundam. They would further go on to earn a crushing victory against Phantom R and Hat Kid, which earned Engi his stolen wrench back, but ultimately lost to the battle-hardened Noble Six and Master Chief.
