Model description:      This is the second Zaku 2 model I've built. Not much variation to the first. The legs have been changed, and some of the animations have been adjusted or changed. 

Other info:             With the appearance of the Federation's RX-78-2 Gundam, Zeon was foorced to rush and produce a prototype mobile suit capable of using beam weapons. Using the MS-06R-1A's design, this new Zaku would be used for as a testbed for a more powerful mobile suit. Equipped with a more powerful reactor and expanded cooling system, the R-2P test unit was capable of using beam weapons. 
        With the One Year War taking to space, Zeon was left without a replacement for the obsolete Zaku 2. Zeon's engineer's quickly made one last attempt to bring the Zaku 2 up to date. The result was the MS-06R-2, a simplified version of the R-2P test unit. The MS-06R-2 general performance was supieror to that of the R-1A and it also featured new lightweight materials, extra leg armor, more fuel. 4 units were constructed to determine their suitability for mass production. Unfortunately, the MS-06R-2 was deemed to costly and too difficult to mass produce. The project was cancelled, and three of the prototypes were assigned 3 of Zeon's ace pilots. The fourth was retained for further testing.
