Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Re-GZ was developed by Anaheim Electronics as a simplified variant of the company's masterpiece, the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. Consideration for mass-production was taken into account, and it aimed for a lower cost than the limited-production Zeta Plus series. The basic design of the Re-GZ's body follows that of the Zeta Gundam's MS form while parts such as the arms are shared with the RGM-89 Jegan. which the Re-GZ can dock with to change to a Waverider-like form.
The BWS was developed with reference to subflight systems such as the Base Jabber and FXA-05D G-Defenser, and it was more expensive than other MS, so only one prototype was built. Despite the Re-GZ boasting high specifications that outclassed other mass-production machines, it struggled against Neo Zeon's Newtype-use mobile suits in U.C.0093 due to a lack of Psycommu weapons.
History
In U.C. 0093, the Re-GZ was deployed to the Londo Bell task force, which was fighting against the Neo Zeon led by Char Aznable. The first person to pilot the Re-GZ was the famous One Year War veteran Amuro Ray, who used the suit in the failed attempt to stop the asteroid Fifth Luna from hitting the Earth. He fought against cyber newtype Gyunei Guss in his MSN-03 Jagd Doga and Char in his MSN-04 Sazabi. Afterwards, the Re-GZ was assigned to squadron leader Kayra Su, who was defeated and killed by Gyunei. During this battle, the Re-GZ also lost its right arm and leg.
After being brought back to the Londo Bell flagship Ra Cailum, the still-damaged Re-GZ was finally used by young Londo Bell officer Chan Agi to fight against Quess Paraya in the massive mobile armor NZ-333 Alpha Azieru. During the battle, she accidentally fired a missile at the Alpha Azieru's cockpit, killing Quess and destroying the mobile armor. Because of this, Hathaway Noa, who was in love with Quess and also trying to persuade her to defect, used the beam rifle of his RGM-89 Jegan to destroy the Re-GZ, killing Chan.
In U.C. 0096, a differently colored Re-GZ was seen in the hangar of the Ra Cailum during the Laplace Incident, but it was not deployed during the conflict.
