Webmaster's notes: Zeonic Corporation was quick to pick up on Zimmad's concept that amphibious mobile suits should be less humanoid and larger than standard mobile suits to adjust for function. The Acguy was made in this way, equipped with a variety of built in weapons and powered by two MS-06F Zaku reactors. Even so, the Acguy still broadcast a smaller heat signature than the MSM-03 Gogg, making it the better choice in stealth missions. The Acguy was also a bit less clumsy than the Gogg, making it a better fighter on land, though firepower and defense were significantly lower. The Acguy's armor is of an unkown strength, but it can be presumed that it is rather heavy, though still less so than that of the Gogg. Weapons wise, the Acguy mounted four vulcan guns on its head, providing for good anti-infantry and anti-air defense. In addition to this, six rocket launchers in the left arm and a mega particle cannon in the telescoping right arm made the Acguy a formidable terrestrial fighter. Rather than mounting more rocket launchers in the right arm, the Acguy had six retractable claws that made a powerful melee weapon. Unfortunately, the lack of a mega particle cannon in the left arm makes the Acguy's armament decidedly uneven and leaves it with less overall firepower than the Gogg despite all the additions. Rather than being considered better than the Gogg, the Acguy is something of an equal, and which mobile suit was better often depended on the mission at hand. Most likely due to parts shortage, some Acguys would mount a machiengun rather then a mega particle cannon.
