The AMX-012 Zuoot is a robot from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and is a Mobile Suit featured in Knights of the Multiverse Season 2. Meant to act as their answer to the Federation's Guntank and as a replacement/much-needed improvement over the Zaku Tank & Magella Attack tanks, they are a series of mass-produced heavily armored Mobile Suits created by Axis Zeon that have the ability to convert into a tank.
History[]
Season 2[]
Armaments[]
- Tank Mode
The Zuoot can transform into a tank mode, where it moves on caterpillar treads to speed across the land and for greater stability while firing.
- Vulcan Gun
The Zuoot has 4 chest-mounted Vulcan guns.
- 2-barrel Secondary Cannon
The Zuoot has a secondary cannon mounted on its left arm, which is for intercepting fighter jets and anti-MS combat.
- Heavy Assault Machine Gun
The Zuoot has a handheld machine gun. Though its weaker than the secondary cannon, like the Vulcan guns, it is used to shoot down incoming missiles and enemy units at close range.
- 2-barrel Cannon
The Zuoot's most powerful weapons are its two 2-barrel cannons mounted on the shoulders, and serve as the suit's main weapon during long range bombardment.
Notes[]
As stated in the profile, the idea behind the Zuoot's inclusion in KotM is to be an improvement of the original Zaku Tank while taking some cues from the Guntank, helped by its transformation being very similar to the F-50D Guntank R-44 from Mobile Suit Gundam F91..
There actually does exist an AMX-012, the Guza, which actually served as the basis for the Geara Dogas that appeared in Char's Counterattack. But as the Guza only appeared in a side-story manga (that's set two/three years after the original ZZ, nonetheless), the spot seemed to be open.
