The MS-06F Zaku II (Royal Guard Unit)

The MS-06C Zaku II Early Production Type was heavily armored, which made it heavy and difficult to maneuver. However, further research and development would lead to the creation of a lighter, improved model designated the F-Type Zaku II. The F-Type then quickly become the definitive version of the Zaku II. Because of the Antarctic Treaty, the F-type lacks the radiation shielding of its predecessor. The Principality of Zeon saw great potential with the unit and created multiple variants to perform different roles, with some being successful and others not. The MS-06F was the most produced mobile suit during the One Year War. Two Zaku IIs with similar gold engravings and trims as the Zaku II Dozle Zabi Custom were deployed as Royal Guard units inside A Baoa Qu. However, these units featured the standard Zaku II shoulder armors and without the spikes on their knuckles.
