Webmaster's notes: One of the earlier entries in the attempt to perfect mobile suit Psycommu systems, the MS-06Z was similar in many ways to the MSN-02 Zeong that would be operated at the end of the war. However, the MS-06Z was not as advanced technology wise, and the power drain created by its powerful wire-guided mega particle cannons, psycoummu system, and thrusters made it heavier and pricer than mass-produced mobile suits, and more importantly, gave it a much shorter operating time, as it could only be fielded for ten minutes at a time before overheating.
