Gundam Mini Figure Selection Plus Sazabi MSN-04 SAZABI The mobile suit piloted by Char Aznable, the supreme commander of Neo Zeon. The basic design was handled by the Newtype research institute of the old Neo Zeon army during Haman Karn's era. However, due to a lack of manufacturing and experimental facilities, production was outsourced to Anaheim Electronics (AE), which had a factory in Granada, a location with strong ties to the old Principality of Zeon. Arlette Almuge, a Newtype engineer who had built Char's mobile suits through numerous wars, was also involved in its development. Initially, the development of the Jagd Doga, based on the Geara Doga, was underway. However, the size of the movable frame, which formed the basic structure, was insufficient to house the psycommu equipment. After much trial and error, the Sazabi, with a size that met the requirements, was newly developed. At one point, there was a plan for the mobile suit to be of mobile armor (MA) size, but this idea was later passed on to the Alpha Azieru. Psycho-frames, also adopted in the Jagd Doga, were incorporated into parts of the internal structure, achieving high responsiveness. The psycho-frame also contributed to the reduction of the mobile suit's weight. Combined with the adoption of lightweight yet high-strength new Gundarium alloy armor, there was ample space to add thrusters to various parts. The backpack thrusters alone generate thrust equivalent to one early model Rick Dom, and the two propellant tanks connected to the lower left and right extend the maximum combat output time by over 90 seconds. The limbs are also highly refined, and close-quarters combat with bare hands was anticipated. As it is the mobile suit piloted by the supreme commander of Neo Zeon himself, the leg structure is designed with an emphasis on durability, eliminating unnecessary functions. The cockpit is built into the head, and its separation function for escape and propulsion apogee motors allow for rapid withdrawal from the battlefield in case of being shot down. The main camera uses a monocular eye, which is an improved version of those used in mobile suits from the Gryps Conflict era. A high-output generator was adopted to support the operation of the internal mega particle cannon, and it is classified as a high-firepower fourth-generation MS. The mobile suit is painted in a red-based color scheme, as Char's piloting was anticipated from the beginning. Compared to the ν Gundam, which emphasizes mobility and maneuverability, the Sazabi is a contrasting mobile suit that emphasizes offensive power.
