"Purely worker unit."
Sees somebody get bashed by the long nipper arms.
... Okay.
Ball Type K was here. Zaku I is a loser.
Right 😕
Was bound to happen inevitably
Suhan Hwang “manipulators”
ooooh, I like the worker zaku's load out.
- shovel
- modified cockpit
- Construction-oriented hardpoints

Can we talk about how crazy a 105mm machine gun is? That's a huge shell to be rapid fired.
At first i was like that’s not that big that’s like a tank shell then i thought for a second about a tank shooting Ike a machine gun lol.
Wouldn't it be closer to a 105mm Autocannon? I mean that's also insane, but god damn, a 105mm machine gun would be nuts. RIP everyone's ears if they are nearby.
@@alexporter7379 They call it a machine gun but it would probably be closer to an atocannon, but at the same way that's insane.
To be fair the Italians have a 76mm AA tank called the Otomatic that was made in the 1980's and it has a 120RPM fire rate
@@SilvaDreams that's pretty quick but not quick enough match RPMs of MGs like a .50 cal at 1200 rpm.
"That thing belongs to a museum"
"So do you!"
@@barrybend7189 Expendables 2 :D
I thought this line came from indiana jones and the last crusade
the real granddaddy of the MS
You forgot to mention that the Zaku I has a huge overheating problem, which is why they developed the Zaku II in the first place, and why the Test pilot of Zudah said that Zeonic cheated their way to the contract.
Did not know That!
tbf zaku I flaws dont cause test pilots to die from it. zudah have killed at least a test pilot.
@@akiraguy Well, TBH it's unknown how many actually died during Zaku I tests because from the official magazine we know that it killed at least 2 during prototype tests while injuring more. And yes I am counting all the zeonic ones since they were labelled as Zaku. On the other hand, Zeonic is known to sabotage other companies' projects so...
@@benlex5672 i took the ms igloo scene where duval said the accident that zudah test pilot dies become the reason ms-5 zaku I won the bid. probably those zeonic test pilots death was during zaku II development, not zaku I.
@@akiraguy MS-04 and MS-05 blew up several times as well. However, the problem lies in cooling for the Zaku line, not engine overload, meaning it's easier to fix. However, this leads to people thinking Zeonic cheated, especially since the supposed company secrets were leaked and Zeonic launched a whole campaign to shit on the Zudah line while hiding the problems of the Zaku line, which would not be found out until mass production started (mainly underpower due to limitations by cooling problems, as what they probably did was limit the reactor power to solve the cooling problem), leading to the production of Zaku II. The campaign is also how the EFF found out about Zudah as well. BTW I don't know what happened in the English version, but Duval was the one that said it was Zeonic that cheated (persumply the campaign), and it was because of Zeonic that Zudah failed, and how Zudah is a much more powerful machine comparing to the Zaku.
AND YET SOMEONE FELT THE NEED TO WELD A STEEL BEAM RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT'S EYE.
But it looks good tho
@@TheFinalKnight1 Here, here!
Yea I never understood that, thankfully that was delete in later suit models...
@@Feiora it was possibly done to fake 2 eyes. giving a 3d view. or maybe it was done to shield it from possible small arms damage, kinda like how it was done in many medieval armor helmets.
@@marcosdheleno except it was a single swivel monoeye with a support beam as wide as the eye right in front of the central position. thats why the eye was always off center afew degrees when you saw these things...
Nothing like a classic Zaku I. Probably one of Zeons most robust and well built mobile suits going from before the One Year War and still holds up till Unicorn.
CWDTrixie more specifically it holds up as a support unit
@@lukabazookastj9462 Still, it's that Zeon's most successful One Year War machines (into the far flung future anyhow) were its single oldest and single newest mass production models.
RIP Kirks
@@basteala525 It probably helped that alot of the Zaku I were mothballed and thus in storage which made them easier to retrieve for those that would operate them later on, so spare parts and manufacture data was relatively easily obtained..
I can't believe this mobile suit even survived throughout 0080 they're practically scrap now
Can we PLEASE get a GM development history video next?
FC Mania or top five gms of the one year war???
That’d be awesome
Oh yes please
Why? its a cut rate Gundam made out of cheaper material because the Earth Federation was too cheap to be concerned about the safety and longevity of their pilots...
Oh yes, more GM love!
"A shovel on the right arm" Has there been any scenes of Mobiles Suits making giant Trenches for defenses?
I think there was one somewhere during Operation Odessa but I do not remember where I saw it.
gundam igloo
Damn, Cima got thrown under the bus simply for following orders. No wonder she was completely psycho in 0083.
areasevenpro I kinda feel bad for her, I mean she basically helped murder the entire colony without her knowing
I feel for her, it clearly shows how fucked up the Zeon High Command is while their men and women die thinking they are fighting the good fight.
You can see another similar reaction coming from Dozle, when he was trying to deal with the guilt of that operation, he said that he did it to protect Mineva, while they (the people in the colony) weren't strong enough to protect their Minevas.
@@hamletmhb5914 Ye, Dozle had massive survivor's guilt. Also, Cima's not that psycho in 0083. It's never really explained, but she's more or less just a mercenary. So her allegiance is always going to be shaky.
It looks and sounds like her.
I like the look of the prototype Zaku 1 it has a bit of Zaku-II flavor to it while not being as chonky
But I like Zakus that way!!!
B I G and C H U N K Y
Well I respect that
The Zaku-II’s chungus-ness is part of its charm, though
“Gets one shotted by the Gundam” *IN OLD FASHION*
Everything gets one shotted by the Gundam, fashion is irrelevant! ;P
Gundam had a damn near god as a pilot
2:42 that brush metal prototype zaku looks amazing
Ahhh Zaku tank... I still remember a mission to defeat an unknown giant mobile suit and mission description says I should piloting Zaku tank or Zaku II only...
Not gonna lie... That was one of hardest mission I ever joined...
In Dynasty warriors Gundam 2 game,
Even in a Zaku, fighting Lu Bu would be horrifying.
@@barahng you need the plot armor of the wing gundams to kill him.
12:01 i love that the overheating sniper cannon from the sniper weapon is inspired by the mg42 with the heatsink, it even opens the same way the real gun does for the barrel replacement
*SIIIP* "Yep, they don't make them like they used to." - Zaku I
My boi Zaku 1 getting respect
Ah the good old Zaku I the start of the giant robot fighting machines.
As a Gouf main, I love seeing the humble beginnings of Zeon suits.
Real men pilot Goufs
Gouf ignited for me
Anti Theist *I see you are a man of culture as well.*
*picks off everyone from long range* Death to CQC! ^.^ (I'm Zaku/Hizack btw)
Meh zaku r1 for me
Maybe talk about 08th MS Team's "Gundam Ground Type". That was a weird one almost like a GM with a Gundam skin.
It’s literally a gundam. Proof? Rewatch the show when sanders first got into the ms he said “so this is the power of a gundam”.
@@yuzumeow If you know the show you should also know that is it a batch produced Gundam that actually shares about 80% of the main parts of a GM. Hence why they use GM parts to fix many of them as they get repaired. That is why it is an oddball of Gundam units. It is not a prototype or experimental unit. Maybe what... The generator is different? But if so how great of a difference is there between the original Gundam unit and a GM compared to the Gundam Ground Type? We all know that it is a Gundam... But it has many GM based characteristics and parts associated with it.
I think the generator is more powerful, and is capable of beam weaponry. Pretty cool how ez8 is classified compared to those 2 lol.
@@yuzumeow and these questions and discussions is why I suggested talking about the unit.
@@nexusofice9135 Both ground type units were actually still more Gundam by volume over their later mass production cousins due to how they were produced with leftover v-project development parts, including luna titanium armor materials. This is why spare parts for repairing or rebuilding them were so scarce, and why the EZ8 even came to be since it was made out of whatever parts they could muster. They don't have nearly the highest specs but they weren't required to, they existed as a stopgap measure while the federation worked out proper mass-production line GMs for use both on land and in space.
Zakus' are the Hardest working Mech suits in the business.
Underrated, highly effective, and My GO TO bread and butter MS in Battle Operation II 👌
Can you please do a video on the most powerful obscure late UC mobile suits?
Lots of Crossbone stuff i guess.
Or the heavygun
The victory final form is possibly the second strongest UC machine, only behind the unicorn perfectibility.
Nice touch adding the Zeonic Front theme when looking at the Commander Type!
I love the idea of a Zaku I Sinper Type. Beautiful machine
不思議なのはビーム兵器を小型化するのに手間取っていたジオンが急激にジオングの指ビームやエルメスのビットといった兵器を実用化できたこと
I'd love to see a special development episode purely for The Origin's canon, covering the Mobile workers, Bugu, and "new" Guntank and Guncannon
Glad you mentioned the Developers manga but they had alot more of a hand in the Zaku's production. Hell, the model worked on by Hosioka was the one that proved the best outta all the rest.
You didn't mention the Zaku radar type (it's a zaku 1, with a radar dome), mostly seen during the Gryps conflict, and Neo Zeon wars, besides the reconnaissance equipment, it's basically an upgraded zaku 1.
Zaku 1 Sniper is so damn sexy.
Zaku received the good old tank treatment, when a chassis got obsolete they made them TD or artillery so they become useful once again.
The Zaku no matter how it looks still remains as my fav mech
Gotta say I love your channel man, haven't seen someone talk gundam lore and history with such enthusiasm, keep it up !
Zaku Tank: Gets called a "purely worker vehicle"
RB-79K Ball Type K: "Am I a joke to you?!"
Char: Yes, yes you are.
Would you be willing to cover the development of the Psycho gundam and the cyber newtypes, given how the two go hand in hand.
*ZAKUS make for good cannon fodder ...*
*especially against my BEAM CANNON !!!*
But depending on the pilot, they could defeat other pilots of more advanced ms
Hey kakarot197 are you done reviewing gunpla or will we see reviews in the future I mean season 2 of build divers comes out in October.
The Zaku 1 Sniper Type’s weapon looks like a German MG34
10:45 a WINCH, man. It has a *winch* on the left arm. A *wench* is "a girl or young woman, especially a buxom or lively one."
I knew an MS coming with wenches as standard equipment was too good to be true.
Shame that Zudah got shafted by Zaku for Mass production. It should've been Commander only unit. Though Zimmad would eventually catch up the arm race with the Dom line
I love your videos. They always brings me joy to learn more about my favorite franchise
For anyone curious about 6:29... Yes, that is Cima. A cut from one of the games but a back story of the gal who would basically become a pirate aiding the re establishment of Zeon in Stardust Memory. Gihren's Greed was the name of the game, and I like to think that much of Zeon had no idea it was going to be a lethal gassing. That cut scene from the game shows she had no idea, and though it's not said in the Stardust Memory show's flashbacks, I'm inclined to believe it. It would show why she took a very turned and changed way of being that Cima became more or less a pirate. It's likely that the failing Zeon pilot she left in a Zaku as a suicide mission may have been someone taken from other quadrants of Zeon who actually did know what he was doing so very long ago. But that's a theory.
Either way, it makes me like her character all the more when I learned about this.
Zaku boi with spike knuckles
Aww yeah! Love me some development history. And your work
hell yeah¡ i was waiting for more of these videos, thanks man, you are awesome
Aw hellz yeah, thanks for this! There are few to no MS history videos out there
That Zeonic Front song really hit me hard. Love that game. Great video, covered a lot of great things. Zeon is my fav.
the zaku 1 sniper type is probably gonna be my favourite looking mobile suit in the whole gundam universe
A cool machine, and it's variants are pretty neat as well (especially that Sniper). Can't wait for you to cover the ol' reliable Zaku 2.
Love this series of videos! Looking forward to GM line or even the RX line!
the zudah is one of my favorite movile suits literally ever
Love the details of this video keep up the great hope really hoping for the Zaku II history video
Excellent work as always, dude!
6:36 Showing everyone dead
6:37 with a random reese's pieces commercial "We take pride in what we do. Are we the best at what we do? Yup"
THIS IS EPIC!!!!! Thanks Kakarot197 I love this kind of lore :3
First I'm glad to see that you're back to make it more Gundam videos
UC early stories are so much interesting! Great video!
I love the Zaku I I'm so hyped for more development history videos!
Please, talk about the MS of the origin!
Plus thanks to give me the picture of how would look a zaku with hand fights weapos, now i wanna custum a zaku like so!
And thanks to show too the glorious wallpaper of dozle sabi zaku 2. i found it, and i love it.
Yessssss! More to come? Please!
I would like to know more of the Gelgoog's backpack. Since the normal Gelgoog doesnt have them XD.
Man I have to say I love your job!
damn.i feel.it is part of our own history.so nice keep up.i hope you next the gm origins.hehe
When you are in a war on 0069 and keep saying nicE after every kill
my favorite and my ace machine, if i go down-im going down swinging
More vids like this please, where you discuss mass production type mobile suits
Great vid!
I've been hunting for that Cima scene. Thank you.
after reading into her story i feel horrible for her, betrayed by everyone she ever tried to trust, zeon, the feds, everyone, and left to die to a (imo) shitty main character
Y'all really thought I wouldn't notice the Endless Battle Theme from Encounters in Space huh
I think you may have a typo. As far as I know, the MS-05B Zaku 1 had a generator output of 899 KW. You have it listed the same as it's predecessor the MS-05A at 833 KW. You also missed a few other details. Matt Austin in Zeonic Front initially piloted an MS-05A, but later switched to a MS-05B. And he was the only one in the Midnight Fenrir corps to only use Zaku 1s. The others switched over to a Dom and Gouf. It was shown in the game that the Zaku 1s that were available were eventually upgraded in various ways. Including improved outer armor and an OS that automatically adjusts to the pilot. Your video also completely ignores the MS-05 First Refined Type Zaku. Which is also known as the MS-05BIS Zaku British Invasion "Green Devil".
The 833kw seems to have been a typo across the board, which should've been 899kw. Thanks for noticing.
As for the last two, Dev History focusses mostly on canon aspects (or things that could fit into canon to fill some gaps). While interesting designs, the Solomon Express units do not fit with this.
@@kakarot197 Honestly just because something is a part of a side manga, doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in the canon continuity. You mentioned Hosioka from the developers manga. Which is a side manga, yet seems completely canon. What's more, the MS-04 they built was the one that got Gihren's attention in the initial tests. They also built their own Mobile Worker with parts and details from the Crabman. The MS-05 First Refined Type is a cool machine. One I wish there was more info about. But I really don't see it's canonicity called into question. Especially since nothing about it's design really calls into question the technology of the time. It was just a heavily refitted Zaku 1 with Zaku II parts and some original possibly prototype armor components. From what I could tell of it's upper body, the armor had some shape similarities to the MS-06F2. So it's entirely possible many early prototype parts that were too costly for mass production were used on it.
I’m brand new to Gundam and I personally like these Zaku’s mechas the best
Ive piloted a Zaku I on Gundam Battle Operation 2 and often preferred them over the Zaku II. Gave my opponents a run for their money in my Zaku I. Ive piloted a Zaku I standard (B Type), Zaku I Sniper Type, Zaku IS aka Zaku I Commander Type, and Zaku I GS (Garret Schmitzer's variant). The Zaku I often works with my aggressive play style and players often underestimate its capabilities in the right hands. I guess I would be one of those Zeon pilots that would stick with his or her Zaku I over moving on to the Zaku II. More so, I would probably end up adding equipment from both the Gelgoog and the Gouf as other armaments for my Zaku I though. I did favor the Gelgoog though as well along with the Gouf.
I'm a huge advance of Zeta fan I would love it if you would do a long drawn-out video on the AOZ lore using the kits you have and images of the ones you don't for reference material. I honestly never get enough Hazel Madness and it's definitely my favorite suit I'm also a big Watership Down fan so it's always a double win for me.
Great video I enjoyed it!
Great content!
We need one on the gouf
Awsome vid hope to see the jim line after the zaku's
Great video. Please make more.
Love it Mr Kakarot!!! i hope you can cover more sides stories about ONY (a lot of untouch interesting story to cover)
in case you wondering, manga on 2:30 is Developers - Mobile Suit Gundam Before One Year War , pretty enjoyable story IMO
and yes the person on 6:30 is our cima garahau sama ;)
What anime is 6:30 from? It kinda looks like Stardust Memory, but I do not remember this scene at all.
@@Xtavalis i thinks its from a game, maybe gihren greed (do some checking at wiki and its say so)? i can't find the cutscene tho
Thanks for history lessons.
cant wait for the zaku 2 vid.
shit, I watch it like a real history documentary , Nice Vids Man
Hell yeah keep it up. MORE MORE MORE MORE
History Channel eat your heart out
we need more gundam lore videos like this on youtube
My friend when they use a gundam.: "you won't win in a zaku!"
Me, about to kick their ass: "I'll show you that a difference in mobile suit abilities DOESN'T decide a battle."
Great video
can't wait for more, truly can't wait for ore.
Nice fan service of me, should I pose next?

Quick question! Is there any information on the shield-like attachment featured on the right side of the head on the early HGUC model?
The Zaku commander type had painting on the left shoulder, the face or eyes of Ultraman Tregear.
Cool that you mentioned Hosioka.
Great review. Do the zaku 2. O6j and F2 versions.
hey I have a real question if you were going to build the ultimate zaku 1 putting the best parts of each of these together how would you build it with what parts from which ones
There’s a ton of lore in some Master Archive Mobilesuit books by SB Creative. It’s in all Japanese, but I have all the Gundam lore books
*flashback of hordes of Zaku Tanks in Dynasty Warriors Gundam*
Zaku 1 is my preferred unit in that old zeonic front ps2 game
Some of the UC Zaku's are great, but overall the Cosmic Era Zaku's just looks better in comparison.
its crazy how most people dont even know this stuff but gundam just has so much deep lore
