Webmaster's notes: Zeon's second attempt at an amphibious mobile suit after the failure of the MS-06M was the MSM-02. It represents the changing ideas of the engineers that amphibous mobile suits would have to largely deviate from traditional mobile suits, as it mounted fixed weapons in place of the Marine Zaku's SUBROC gun. However, it was perhaps still not well enough suited for amphibious operation, as it was never mass-produced or put past experimental stages. (Note: Heavily presumed based on the limited available information.)
