Produced at the Principality of Zeon’s California Base during the latter months of the One Year War, the MSM-10 Zock was one of the last amphibious mobile suits to be produced – though its form represented the shift from mobile suits to the new mobile armor concept. With the thrusters in its armor skirt and short, non-functional feet, the Zock could best be described as a hovering gun emplacement, capable of covering all angles of attack with its front-and-back symmetrical design. Only three Zock units were produced, with one of them serving under ace pilot Char Aznable’s forces during his assault on the Earth Federation Forces’ Jaburo base on November 30, UC 0079.
