The AMX-107 Bawoo is a transformable mobile suit developed by Neo Zeon during the First Neo Zeon War. It was introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. Created by Neo Zeon based on the 'Project Zeta' series of MS, the AMX-107 Bawoo is capable of transforming and separating into the Bawoo Attacker (upper torso) and autonomous Bawoo Nutter (lower torso) units. On Glemy Toto's orange-colored prototype, the left thigh armor is decorated with the archaic kanji 𪚢, which combines the characters for dragon (龍) and flight (飛) and is pronounced "bau" (bawoo) in Japanese. Glemy highly praised the Bawoo Attacker's fluid, effortless mobility, and its potential as an escape unit. The standard armaments of the Bawoo consisted of grenade launchers, beam sabers, beam rifle, and shield with five mega particle cannons. When required, it can also carry three missiles on each flexible wing binders. In U.C. 0096, the Neo Zeon remnants, the Sleeves, deployed modified Bawoo units. Besides a new color scheme and the group's distinctive markings on its arms and chest, the suit also gained a pair of vulcan guns on its torso, a pair of machine cannons in its side skirt armor and uses a beam machine gun as well as a shield without the mega particle cannons. The Bawoo Nutter was reconfigured to have its own cockpit, granting better coordination with the Bawoo Attacker, and allowed the Nutter to continue operating if the Attacker was destroyed. The Nutter could also carry six missiles, bringing the total amount of missiles to twelve.

The AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra (ガーベラ・テトラ) is a prototype assault mobile suit, designed by Mika Akitaka, and featured in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. It was piloted by Cima Garahau. As part of its military reconstruction following the One Year War, the Earth Federation Forces began its Gundam Development Project in collaboration with Anaheim Electronics, the goal was to produce new experimental Gundam-type mobile suits. The intended fourth unit in this GP series was the RX-78GP04G Gundam "Gerbera". Its design sought to replicate the high-speed mobile suit assault tactic successfully established by the Principality of Zeon late in the war, in which a single mobile suit was able to penetrate the enemy forces and deal heavy damage as exemplified by the MS-18E Kämpfer. However, the role of the "Gerbera" was found to have many overlapping elements with its brother unit, the RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes" which was upgrade-able for space combat, so its development was cancelled. As a result, Anaheim Electronics was left with a half-completed "Gerbera". The division within Anaheim Electronics that produced the "Gerbera" was created from the Zeonic Company (which still had strong loyalty to Zeon) and was approached by the Delaz Fleet. The division then revised the design of the "Gerbera" to hide its origin, and produced the AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra. The Gerbera Tetra features a simple armament, consisting of four 110mm machine guns, two mounted in each forearm, two beam sabers for melee combat, and a beam machine gun, a beam weapon with a much higher rate of firepower than standard beam rifles. The Gerbera Tetra can be equipped with an optional stürm booster on its back, which despite increasing the overall mass, dramatically increases the suit's speed and flight range.  

The AMS-123X-X Moon Gundam is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Moon Gundam. It is piloted by Jutta Qasim. The AMS-123X-X Moon Gundam is the AMS-123X Varguil equipped with a Gundam-type head and repainted in tricolor scheme. Additionally, the backpack's funnel rack has been completely removed and a sub-arm has been added to mount the Psycho Plates. The Psycho Plates is a Psycommu armament that drifted to Moon Moon along with the head.

The ARX-014 Silver Bullet is a variant of the AMX-014 Döven Wolf. It appears in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Bande Dessinee and the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA Series. Pilots of the unit include Gael Chan. A mobile suit used by the Earth Federation Forces to test the Quasi-Psycommu system, the Silver Bullet is a modified AMX-014 Döven Wolf created by Anaheim Electronics based on captured units. Although its armament is trimmed down due to its purpose, it gained higher output compared to the original Döven Wolf and is more than capable of participating in actual combat. The removal of the abdominal mega particle cannons also lightens the suit. Some Silver Bullets have a Gundam head for testing the Quasi-Psycommu weapons, while others have a GM head for system analysis of the enhanced measurement sensors. The Vist Foundation were given some of them after the EFF was done with the tests.

The ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor is a variant of the ARX-014 Silver Bullet from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative and is piloted by Banagher Links. The ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor is a remodeled version of a ARX-014 Silver Bullet stored in the Magallanica. The main reason for the remodeling was to enable it to use the RX-0 series' Beam Magnum. To accomplish this, its right arm is modified to be exchangeable, its backpack is changed to one that stores four replacement arms and an arm exchange system consisting of a crane and rail is installed on the rear waist armor. These measures allow the exchange of the right arm after each shot of the Beam Magnum, countering the malfunctions that occurred to the arm due to use of the weapon.Other notable modifications include its face being greatly different, the number of antennas are increased to a total of six, modified knees and new feet. All of the modifications are possible due to the high extensibility of the original Silver Bullet. The colors of the mobile suit have also been changed to a black color scheme. Besides the Beam Magnum, the Silver Bullet Suppressor's other armaments consisted of 60mm Vulcan Guns, Beam Sabers, Grenade Launchers and Beam Cannons. The "Suppressor" in its name is said to signify that "the mobile suit is to deter and restrain hostile organizations".

The EMS-10 Zudah was a prototype Mobile Suit developed by Zimmad for the Principality of Zeon before the One Year War. It appears in the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO. During the Principality of Zeon's race to develop a superior fighting machine, four prototype mobile suits were developed from different engineering companies: one of these was Zimmad's EMS-04 Zudah. It had a good power plant with unprecedented thrust and acceleration. It also adopted a prototype engine known as the Jupiter engine which was based on Zimmad's prototype Mercury engine. However, the suit did have limits: if the engines were overexerted, the suit would overload and break apart. Zeonic Company used this information to outdo the Zudah with their well-known YMS-05 Zaku and successfully marketed the Zaku series.This, however, was not the end of the story. The Zudah was resurrected under the model number EMS-10, with some minor improvements and cosmetic differences. Its left shoulder was refitted with a movable shield that could be swung to the back, and it was equipped with spikes for melee combat. The EMS-10 was said to be fitted with the improved "Saturn" engine, previously used on the MS-09R Rick Dom (though whether this is true or merely propaganda is unknown). A number of new weapons were also added, including all of the existing Zaku weapons, as well as a new 135mm anti-ship rifle. However, despite these improvements, the suit was still prone to breaking apart from overexertion.

The Me-02R Messer is a mass-produced mobile suit developed from the AMS-119 Geara Doga. It was featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash. The mainstay mobile suit of the anti-Earth Federation terrorist organization "Mafty" in U.C. 0105, the Messer was produced by Anaheim Electronics under Mafty's commission. Created as a part of the same line as former Neo Zeon mobile suits like the AMS-119 Geara Doga and the MSN-04 Sazabi, the Messer has various Zeon-type mobile suit design elements, such as the mono-eye sensor in the head, rounded armor parts and spiked shoulder armor. This is likely done to hide Anaheim Electronics' involvement with an anti-Federation organization. However, features such as air intakes on the chest, which were usually only seen on Federation MS, were also incorporated.Despite its large size and heavy armor, the Messer has high maneuverability and mobility due to powerful main thrusters on its back as well as various sub-thrusters on its legs and waist. It also has vectored tail stabilizer on its back that can be used for air braking and attitude control when free falling from high altitudes. The Messer was intended for guerilla warfare and adopted armaments including vulcan guns, beam sabers, a beam rifle and a shield so as to be highly versatile. It can also use various weapons derived from Federation MS. Most of the time, the Messer will enter combat using the Galcezon sub-flight system.

The MS-14JG Gelgoog Jäger is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. A variation of the MS-14 Gelgoog, the MS-14JG was specialized for precision firing mission, and was also known as "Gelgoog Sniper Type". It was designed with the United Maintenance Plan (UMP) in mind, greatly increasing its specifications and ease of piloting, as well as simplifying its manufacturing process and improving the interchangeability of its parts with other models. The Gelgoog Jäger was equipped with a total of 24 posture control sub-thrusters in addition to the main thrusters, significantly improving its mobility in space. Due to its nature as a sniper unit, its monoeye has a larger field of vision than standard units. In addition, since it was designed as a commander unit, it was equipped with a head-mounted blade antenna by default for enhanced communications. Similarly, its backpack had another antenna and a laser communication unit. The Gelgoog Jäger's primary weapon was a large-sized beam machine gun, which could either fire pulsed beam pellets or a single-shot long-range beam. It was able to use this weapon thanks to a tuned up, new model generator. The beam machine gun's low rate of beam deterioration, combined with its exceptionally accurate scope and the Jäger's latest fire control hardware and software, granted it unparalleled firing accuracy. As with other UMP mobile suits, the Gelgoog Jäger adopted standard 2nd Phase Production Type cockpit and manipulators, meaning it had the same control scheme as its peers and could use all of their weapons, reducing the required pilot training time for switching models and compensating for Zeon's lack of pilots.

The MS-18E Kämpfer (ケンプファー Kenpufā?) is a heavy assault mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket OVA. It was piloted by Mikhail Kaminsky of Zeon's Cyclops Team during the One Year War. The "E" in the MS-18E Kämpfer's model number was an abbreviation for the German word "Einhauen," which translates to "one strike." "One strike" summed up the suit's role as a fast assault unit that was meant to strike quickly, cause massive damage with its varied weapons loadout, and make a fast escape. The Kämpfer was a very focused design, never intended to work outside of its role. Within this role it was an exceptional unit, rivaling the Federation's RX series in firepower and speed. It was equipped with numerous thrusters and verniers to achieve high maneuverability. Conversely, the large number of thrusters resulted in higher fuel consumption rate, limiting its operational time.The Kämpfer's design opted for minimal armor, even removing the hip-mounted skirt armor found on most mobile suits. The choice of conventional shell-based weapons rather than beam weapons was made to reduce the drain on its reactor and resultant drop in speed. Weapon racks were designed to be ejected from the unit as they were expended, minimizing dead weight. The Kämpfer was intended to be operated by special forces, and was built to be easily disassembled and reassembled in blocks, aiding in its infiltration behind enemy lines.

The MSK-008 Dijeh (ディジェ Dije?) is a mobile suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. During the Gryps War, it was piloted by Amuro Ray.

The MSM-10 Zock was one of Principality of Zeon's amphibious mobile suits developed during the One Year War. It was introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam.

The MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki (百式, "Type 100") is a prototype Mobile Suit introduced in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and reappeared in the sequel Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. It was primarily piloted by Quattro Bajeena during the Gryps Conflict and later by Beecha Oleg in the First Neo Zeon War. The Hyaku Shiki is a mobile suit built by Anaheim Electronics as part of the "Zeta Project". It was originally designed as the prototype transformable mobile suit, MSN-001 Delta Gundam which incorporated Anaheim Electronics' own "movable frame" technology and backpack-mounted wing binders for additional mobility. However, defects in the frame design led to problems in its transformation and the machine's development was soon abandoned.When the AEUG captured the Titans' RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, the movable frame technology of this newly acquired mobile suit assisted greatly in the advancement of the Zeta Project and also led to the redesigning of the Delta Gundam into the high performance, non-transformable Hyaku Shiki. Hyaku Shiki, which means 'Type 100' in Japanese, is named as such by its lead developer, Professor M.Nagano who hoped to create a mobile suit design that would endure for a hundred years. Because of the reliability of each device and its ease of access to the interior, the Hyaku Shiki was also used as a testbed for operational testing of various equipment under development.The Hyaku Shiki's gold colored appearance is due to the application of a beam-resistant coating on its armor, giving it some limited protection against beam attacks. The suit also has a unique sensor called the Image Directive Encode (IDE) system, which emits a red pattern when scanning or during precision aiming. It also retains several design features from the original Delta Gundam design, most notably the legs' front armor and backpack-mounted wing binders. The Delta Gundam's transformation capabilities later resurfaced in the MSN-001A1 Delta Plus.

The MSN-04 II Nightingale (MSN-04II ナイチンゲール?) is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children. It was piloted by Char Aznable during Char's Rebellion .The MSN-04 II Nightingale was developed exclusively for Char Aznable, the leader of Neo Zeon. its most prominent feature was the incorporation of a Psycho-Frame. As a result, the Nightingale was completed as a Mobile Sit (MS) with capabilities akin to a Mobile Armor (MA). The Nightingale was an MS with exceptional abilities and its silhouette greatly deviated from a human design, with overhanging binders on both shoulders, a large rear armor piece that extended backwards, and front armor as large as the legs. Despite its unconventional design., mobility devices placed on the shoulders and rear armor enabled the MS to gain high mobility and operability, and the five propellant tanks allowed for long combat operations. It was armed with a long-range, high-0power Large Mega Beam File, a Beam Tomahawk equipped with three devices, and 10 funnels. This armament configuration enabled the MS to gain combat abilities that could flexibly adapt to firefights, melee combat, and perform all-range attacks. The Nightingale was deployed during Char's Rebellion and overwhelmed Amuro Ray's RGZ-91 Re-GZ. It was as powerful as the RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam during the battle over Axis .

The NRX-044 Asshimar is a transformable mobile armor introduced in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. It was most notably piloted by Buran Blutarch. Initially developed as an experimental transformable mobile armor at the Oakland Research Institute, the Asshimar was introduced before the Gryps Conflict and was used extensively by the Earth Federation Forces. It was the first mobile weapon to be able to fly in the Earth atmosphere on its own power without the help of a sub-flight system. Asshimar's development was initiated by the Earth Federation Forces as the NRX-044[R] Prototype Asshimar TR-3 [Kehaar] and later continued in form of the NRX-044 Prototype Asshimar TR-3 [Kehaar].Asshimar's design featured additional sub mono-eye sensors along with the main camera sensor. Because its range was restricted to within the Earth atmosphere, a thermonuclear jet engine is used as its main propulsion system. This system uses air for propellant, making it fuel-efficient while effectively giving the Asshimar an enhanced cruising capacity. The engine air intakes are located in the upper thighs of the leg units, which are mainly closed by shutters in its mobile suit mode. In addition, its mobile armor mode possesses excellent aerodynamics as a lifting body, allowing for long-haul flights. The head unit is equipped with a multiple antennas with differential pressure sensors. Its landing gear, which is provided in the chest armor and leg units, is used in conjunction with underside fuselage nozzles for hovering during take-off.While not as powerful as its prototype, the production model of the Asshimar was a formidable machine. With magnet coating technology being applied to its transformation system, the Asshimar was able to transform between its MS and MA modes in only 0.5 seconds. Also, it sported thick armor and was able to withstand most standard mobile suit firearms. However, the chest frame is left vulnerable to attack during transformation. The Asshimar was limited to fielding its custom large beam rifle which was mounted on the main body in MA mode, limiting its usefulness. Nevertheless the Asshimar proved to be a powerful, versatile, and deadly unit and was stationed on various Federation bases on Earth.In the manga Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Define, it was redesigned by Kyoshi Takigawa. New features include an increase in height, folding wings on the legs, retractable twin machine guns in both forearms, and built-in missile racks on both shoulders. In addition, the large beam rifle was now stored on the side in MA mode (allowing two to be mounted), and mounted on the forearm in MS mode when not in use.

The ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5 [Hrairoo] is a prototype transformable mobile armor, it is a variant of the ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5. The unit is featured in the photo-novel Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans. One problem with the standard ORX-005 Gaplant is the intense G-force produced by the movable shield binders, making it best used with a Newtype pilot. Due to this, when it was first produced, the ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5, it was instead mounted with booster shields used by TR-1 Hazel. Aside from this, a few changes were applied during the TR-5's initial service, such as applying an enhanced sensor unit and V-fin onto the head sensor, and replacing the main engines in the backpack with a thermonuclear hybrid jet-rocket engine, as with other machines of the TR series. For its main armament, the TR-5 carries a long blade rifle, which is mounted on the underside of the machine in mobile armor form.Later on, near the end of Gryps conflict, the TR-5 Hrairoo is further refined as an Area Dominance Mobile Armor, similar in purpose to RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium", but for all three major environment (atmosphere, ground, space). The booster shields were changed back to the moveable shield binders. The side armor and back armor have additional thrusters and armor mounted onto it, greatly increasing its maneuverability and defense; the back waist armor also comes with a moveable hardpoint, allowing it to mount an additional manipulator arm. The front waist armor is also enhanced, and thus now has spray beam emitters for defense, as well as two hidden arms underneath. The long blade rifle is upgraded to be able to equip 2 booster-type shields, which further increase its mobility (standard booster shields), attack power (micro missiles shields), or defense (spray beam shield).Furthermore, it can be equipped with the Hrududu II support unit. The shoulders mount booster-equipped claw units with beam emitters that can connect to the long blade rifle to form a very powerful beam cannon. With the Hrududu II, Gaplant gains four more hard points, allowing it to mount additional manipulator arms, shield units, and eventhe arms of the Psyco Gundam.

The PMX-003 The-O is a mobile suit from the series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and is piloted by Paptimus Scirocco. The fourth of five mobile suits built by the Newtype Paptimus Scirocco on the Jupitris, the PMX-003 The-O is Scirocco’s personal mobile suit, and perhaps the most powerful. It has an independently developed control system to take advantage of his rare spatial recognition abilities, and its control interface is specifically tuned for Scirocco's use, making The-O impossible to pilot except by Scirocco himself. The generator output specifications are modest at less than 2,000Kw; however, The-O is equipped with a large-scale thermonuclear reactor comparable to that of a warship.The-O has very thick armor that can withstand direct beam hits, such as from the AMX-004 Qubeley's funnels. Although very bulky and heavy, it is outfitted with enough thrusters to maneuver and move at very high speeds, demonstrating powerful thrust similar to mobile armors. It is also extremely agile despite its massive frame, with performance that greatly surpasses common MS and displaying tremendous space combat capabilities. By taking advantage of The-O's large size, it is possible to load large amounts of propellant into various parts of the body and the skirt armor to extend operation time. The leg and armor units incorporate a complex multi-joint structure that allow a high degree of freedom of movement. These parts significantly differ from those found in typical mobile suits.In terms of weapons, The-O is only equipped with four beam swords and a beam rifle. However, thanks to its unique sub-arms, The-O can wield all four swords at once, something that no other mobile suit could do, allowing The-O to excel at close quarters combat. The-O is a robust machine designed with emphasis on mobility instead of excessive firepower, and features an excellent interface that reflects the skill of the pilot.The last special feature of The-O is the Bio-Sensor (no relation to the device installed in the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam), which functions like a psycommu system and allows Scirocco to more easily interface with his suit.

The RGC-83 GM Cannon II is a mobile suit introduced in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. The successor of the RGC-80 GM Cannon, a medium-range support mobile suit developed in the late stage of the One Year War, the RGC-83 GM Cannon II was based on the RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type and inherited the Chobam Armor concept of the RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT-1. It was the culmination of the Federation's artillery support mobile suit development.Thanks to improvement in technology and productivity, the GM Cannon II was installed with a powerful generator, allowing it to be equipped with two shoulder-mounted beam cannons. This made it the first mass production unit to have high-powered beam cannons. These beam cannons were usually powered by the generator itself, but could also be powered by the two Energy CAP mounted on its backpack. A sighting device located on the pilot seat's headrest can be used to aim the beam cannons. For precision shooting under gravity, the stabilized gear on the waist could be deployed to stabilize the machine.The GM Cannon II's other weapons included a pair of head-mounted 60mm vulcan guns, a shortened beam saber stored in the left forearm, and the same GM Rifle and shield used by the RGM-79N GM Custom. Due to its role as a fire support mobile suit, the beam saber was only meant for close-quarters self-defense and it rarely had the chance to use it. The GM Cannon II also has relatively poor mobility due to the mass of its weapons and armor.The design of the GM Cannon II's basic components prioritized parts interchangeability with GM type mobile suits. Parts of its exterior was covered in composite armor, similar to the Chobam Armor used by the RX-78NT-1 "Alex". This composite armor improved bullet resistance while keeping the mobile suit's weight down. Unlike the Alex's Chobam Armor, the composite armor was built directly onto the frame and could not be purged when damaged. Despite their structural differences to Alex's armor, the composite armor was often referred to as "Chobam Armor" for convenience.Like the GM Custom, there was a plan to mass produce the GM Cannon II, but due to issues such as cost and the fact that the machine was meant to operate alongside the GM Custom, only a few units were actually deployed. After the Delaz Conflict, the project itself, including its development staff, was placed under the control of the Titans. The GM Cannon II's production was halted and a direct successor to it was never developed.
