Technology & Combat Characteristics
One of the most prominent feature of the Zod'-Iacok is its gigantic double mega particle cannon, located within its body. Aside from Colony Lasers, it could be said that the double mega particle cannon is the largest and most powerful cannon-type weapon in the Universal Century. Due to this, it has been said that the actual main body is the mega particle cannon itself. Furthermore, it was equipped with beam deflectors, allowing it to perform microadjustments to direction and beam speed during attacks. The two mega particle cannons can fire-linked or alternated.
For additional firepower it was equipped with a quasi-psycommu system, which is used to control its four wire-guided claws. It was also equipped with eight 60mm vulcans, twelve beam cannons, and twelve beam sabers. It featured an I-field generator, located within the front, which provides efficient defense during attacks.
The machine's versatile is boosted by its the ability to separate and transform into two units: the Zoon-I (upper section) and Zoon II (lower section). In both modes it is capable of entering the atmosphere.
History
The main purpose of the Zod'-Iacok was to conduct high atmospheric attacks from low Earth orbit. As an experimental machine, it was very expensive. However, it had a serious design flaw: the high power consumption of the mega particle cannons frequently overloaded the capacitors during continuous firings, which forced all the power to rush into the mega particle cannon and overloaded it. Since the cannon is located right between the two main engine units, this generates intense heat that may reach and explode the propellant tanks and self-destruct the entire unit. Thus, it was treated as a failure, and was to be decommissioned after testing its unit separation, transformation and beam deflector tests. In the end, it was given to the New Desides and piloted by its ace Tosh Cray, and was destroyed above Earth's atmosphere due to the overload.
