Steel giant mobil suit which was introduced to the battlefield from the beginning of the one year war and greatly changed the manner of weapons. If mobile suits become indispensable as the main weapon in the battlefield, the side of maintenance and operation will also change greatly. It would have been natural to use the mobile suits for that task, such as carrying armed and maintenance parts for mobile suits, carrying damaged mobile suits, and other backwards supporting military forces. In addition, under the gravity of the earth, there was also an aspect that the use of a mobile suits that can perform more detailed work than heavy machinery for work, such as for entrenchment, torchka, and barricade construction leads to more efficient backward support and engineer activities . MS-06W General working type Zaku is an aircraft that was born to carry out the backward support work of the Zeon military ground troops more efficiently in such a request.
During the Earth Invasion Operation, the Zeon Primary Army, who had descended to the ground, maintained the front with limited resources and assets, so it could not be used as a weapon although it was not greatly damaged, but parts of mobile suits and heavy machinery for work Combined to create a mobile suit for on-site work. In the middle of the one-year war, the general working Zaku, which is said to have been used on the African Front from the West of Asia, uses the old MS-05 Zaku I as the base. It is said that some aircraft also used parts such as the MS-06 Zaku II and MS-07 Gofu. The cockpit part has an overhang type that diverts the cockpit of the working heavy machine so that direct interaction with maintenance personnel working live can be made and it is easy to steer while watching. . Because the protective ability is unnecessary, the shoulder armor is removed to expand the movable range, and the left forearm is equipped with a winch for hanging materials, and the right arm is fitted with a large shovel used for construction work. The backpack with the thruster was removed, and instead, it was an aircraft specification that emphasized the workability in the field of maintenance operation, such as adding a container rack capable of carrying containers etc. to the back and waist. As for painting, as it is premised to be used in the base, heavy and bright coloring that is easy to see is given. The model number is MS-06W, but this is for convenience only and not for identification. In addition, because it was not a mass-produced under a proper design but was a field repair type airframe using parts gathered at the front line, it is considered that there were aircraft with different shapes depending on the application and the used parts. But there are few official confirmations.
Like a mobile suits for battle, I did not do a spectacular activity of fighting violently against enemy troops on the front line, but the fact that the ace pilots were able to raise great results as a result of being supported by such supporting aircraft There is no mistake.
