MSM-07 Z’Gok – Model Kit

The Z’Gok is one of the heavy mobile suit developed by MIP. Like the MSM-04 Acguy, it is viewed as a second-stage amphibious MS, different from the MSM-03 Gogg, a first-stage unit. The Z’Gok’s final design was improved based on actual combat data from the Gogg, but this delayed its development and the Acguy was completed before it.

Among amphibious mobile suit, the Z’Gok’s focus is on ground combat. Besides using both air and water-cooled radiators, it also has chemical fuel rockets for jumping in addition to thermonuclear water jets. The Z’Gok is also designed so that it can perform anti-air combat as well as search operations on and above the water surface, duties that the Gogg could not.

The Z’Gok’s specifications are superior to those of the mass production mobile suits by the Earth Federation Forces at the same period. However, in return for high performance, it is difficult to pilot. Furthermore, it is a costly machine because it lacks parts compatibility with the Gogg.

• 240mm Missile Launcher

The Z’Gok has six 240mm missile launchers (30 rounds) in the top of its head. These missiles can only be fired in relation to the vertical alignment of the torso. The missiles can be fired underwater but they have low resistance to hydrostatic pressure. They are mainly used after surfacing or landing on the shore, as well as for anti-aircraft purposes.

• Mega Particle Cannon

As with Zeon’s previous amphibious mobile suits, the Z’Gok has a pair of mega particle cannons powered directly by the mobile suit’s reactor. The Z’Gok’s mega particle cannons are mounted in the palm of its hands. They have high beam focusing capability and an output of 3.2 MW.

• Iron Nail

Mounted on the ends of the flexible arms, they are primarily used as close-combat weapons. Taking advantage of the Z’Gok’s high mobility, it can punch through the torso of an RGM-79 GM in a single blow.
