Any chance you could provide some juicy stats on these? I so wanna use them in my Mekton campaigns. See, the Feddies have been real annoying as of late, and I need something to pimp slap them with...

Stats? Well, a super kind guy already posted it down there

Ah, yes. I see them, now. Thanks. There's just one additional thing that Zaku needs. More cowbell.

MS-06FM Zaku II Mantle AKA “Goliath”: General & Technical Data: Model number: MS-06FM Code name: Zaku II Mantle Unit type: Limited Production General-Purpose Mobile Suit Manufacturer/Operator: Principality of Zeon First deployment: UC 0079 Accommodation: pilot only, in standard cockpit in torso Dimensions: head height 18.5 meters Weight: empty 56.2 metric tons; max gross 80.5 metric tons Armor materials: Titanium Alloy Ceramic Composite Powerplant: Minovsky type ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 976 kW Propulsion: rocket thrusters Performance: maximum ground running speed 103 km/h Equipment & design features: sensors, range 3200 meters Optional fixed armaments: 3-slot hand grenade rack, carries standard high-explosive/fragmentation or smoke/hide grenades, mounted on waist armor rack Optional hand armaments: 180mm Cannon, clip-fed, spare clips can be stored on waist armor racks; heat hawk, battery powered, can be stored on waist armor rack; sturm faust, rocket-propelled warhead, can be stored on waist armor storage racks Technical & Historical Notes: Another of the Pazun asteroid bases MS Projects, The MS-06FM Zaku II Mantle was created late in the OYW as significant all-round “improvement” over the previous Zaku that could be fitted to existing Type Zaku IIs. Named for the coat of modular armour plates that fit over the taller frame. It’s height is now roughly that of the RX-78 Gundam & its legs & arms are longer & more flexible, increasing its reach in close combat & length of its stride for greater running speed. The armour packs feature additional thrusters to compensate for the extra weight & mass. All the external equipment is designed for use w/ modular hardpoints, allowing for simpler modification & repairs. Unfortunately all these drastic modifications come at the cost of mobility, reliability & balance. These serious technical issues were never resolved & the project was forgotten, remembered only as yet another waste of time & resources. Armaments & Equipment: 180mm Cannon: a large hand held cannon mounted under the arm by a support frame. Fed by 7 round magazines. Serious recoil compounded the balance issues of the mobile suit.

I don't think the Gustav Karl is on enough 'roids to compare to this zaku. When I looked at it the first time my mind immediately went to the super zaku.

Was about to say it looked like this Zaku had some steroids, but there it was in the title xD Awesome design dude!

He should have no problems shooting down heavy armor.
Though I wonder how much dakka he's packing in that gun of his...

There's no such thing as too much dakka!

Why not draw one up with a colossal 50mm chaingun that looks vaguely like an MG42V?

I thought that too but this time the KwK gun got its place.

Hey Friend:
I found an old one of yours (a commission piece not posted on dA) and was blown away! I wish you'd post it (this REALLY cool biomech ship) here. As far as kindness? Hey, I know game when I see it!^_^

This is pretty much ‘if heavy weapons guy got a Zaku’

Do we really need those horizontal engines for a ground unit?
Yes. Yes we do

Well it can also act as a "self-defense" mechanism, burning and blasting an enemy in front of you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I would think maintaining balance would be the primary purpose, since traditional flamethrowers would serve far better in self defense, not to mention a giant cost reduction compared with rocket engines
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The "traditional" flamethrower simply didn't have that blasting effect, like the kickback you found on rocket-propelled or thrusters. Besides those flamethrowers isn't gonna so effective with armors. I pretty much agree with the "balancing" and cost reduction you mentioned though. Just my two cents

Heh, good thinking! But don't forget the engines would push yourself back as well! Shouldn't be a problem since your design is so bulky though🤣
