Is there some cool Zaku moments?

[Losk Osmanthus 路渐秋凉]

Gundam are cool and all, but I dreamed to command a Zaku battle platoon with full specialization package.

There are no UC Zaku's only CE Zaku's, there are several types though from basic to Gunner to Phantom.

[CanadianTick]

This game deals with the AU timelines, so the closest to the original Zaku are the versions in Gundam Seed.

There are several variations of those though;
Zaku Warrior
Zaku Warrior Live Concert
Gunner Zaku Warrior
Blaze Zaku Warrior
Slash Zaku Warrior
Zaku Phantom

And then a few customized variations if you put certain characters in some of them, like Dearka Elsman having a black version of the Zaku Phantom instead of the olive green.

Edit: I found a guide that has the units listed, so you can take a look and see what's available for you, complete with pictures:

haha I'm not. There are people like zakus out there, I can not be not the only one special snow flake.

If it makes you feel any better, the GOUF Ignited and DOM Trooper's physical appearances are almost identical to the MS-07 and MS-09 respectively.

Also, the Gundams from Gundam Wing: G-Unit have Super High morale attacks where they transform into mobile suits that look suspiciously similar to Zeon's mobile weapons.

Of course, lmao. For the record, the reason I was wondering was cause there was one guy over there who kept (or maybe still keeps) wishing for Universal Century Zakus in every Gundam game, even when this game was clearly never going to have anything UC in it (aside from the Sisquiede and Regild Century). My thought immediately went to him cause of the leading question asking about Zakus in general, heh.

Speaking of Sisquiede, that's the titular Monoeye Gundam available in this game - or at least, it should be. IDK how the free DLC works on Steam, but on other platforms at least, you could get this thing for free alongside its pilot, so that's another Monoeye option if you want to consider that... But given you were asking about Zakus specifically, I guess maybe that's out of the question, haha.

If you do make a monoeye-focused team, though, add the Graze Ein. I don't care what anyone says, this thing kicks ass and nobody can tell me otherwise

Yeah I was hoping for more Zaku love but they are primarily a UC series staple afterall.

I like the SEED versions. I've been using Dearka in his custom black Zaku Gunner just because it stands out and has a decent range attack.

I'd want to use Heine's GOUF Ignited because I like his bright orange color schemes but man do I think GOUFs suck in this game moveset-wise.

Graze Ein is and always will be my fav design from IBO!

For Zaku-like MS, there is always the Dinn/Ginn/CGUE/GuAIZ variations, the seed Zakus/Gouf and maybe the Graze variants? I'm in the same boat though, as Zaku are in my top 5 as fav MS designs, so i'm also looking to make a similar team.

[lPaladinl]

I do like the grunt models in IBO a lot overall. The Graze and Rodi models in particular.

Graze especially as they remind me of some classic Armored Core models.

[Lapo]

The Rodi familiy of mobile suits are the most Zaku like of IBO, the Spinner in particular. Their weird "monoeye" moves around and everything. The Graze heads look more like the Leo's from Wing.

I don't think anybody said the Graze Ein was ugly, or how terrifying it was as a boss in the show. People just hate Graze Ein because they don't like Ein as a character...

[Aya]

If you want a Zeon-themed army, I think this would be one of your raid groups:

DOM Trooper x 3
GOUF Ignited
Gundam Aesculapius or Burnlapius
Hydra Gundam
2 ZAKU Warriors or Phantoms (whichever has better stats)

I do think Ein is one of the weaker characters of the show. He doesn't have much of a personality beyond being a loyal lap dog, gets betrayed easily, and then his life as a human/machine hybrid just makes me feel like they ripped off typical 40K lore of Dreadnoughts and how the Space Marines put into them tend to lose part of their humanity, more or less depending on the extent of their injuries. They end up sounding more machine than human, especially over time, and their motives become unclear as they struggle between garbled thoughts and the machines influencing their thoughts with programmed concepts.

I just wouldn't be surprised if the writer behind Graze-Ein was a Warhammer 40K fan.

Otherwise I think the character of Graze-Ein specifically was interesting, albeit derivative.

But seriously, I only worded it the way I did cause the thread was focused on a certain monoeye, not stretching it to cover different series' monoeyes. That's all I meant by that, lol
