NZ-333 Alpha Azieru

The NZ-333 α Azieru (Alpha Azieru) is an extremely powerful mobile armor in the anime movie Char's Counterattack.

The α Azieru is an experimental mobile armor developed by the Neo Zeon Newtype Research Labs and for its time it is one of the largest and most powerful mobile weapons ever developed. Its strongest weapon is the mega particle gun which can destroy several mobile suits with one blow. Because it was developed as a Newtype weapon it features 9 funnels which are able to attack over great distances. For close combat it is equipped with two wire-guided psycommu mega arms each equipped with 5 beam guns and 2 vulcan guns mounted in the head.

The powerful mobile armor enters combat on the last day of the Second Neo Zeon War, piloted by artificial strengthened Newtype Quess Paraya. The mentally unstable Quess under guidance of cyber-Newtype Gyunei Guss, fights against the Londo Bell forces and destroys many of them. It also has a battle with ace pilot Amuro Ray and his RX-93 Nu Gundam, who is able to destroy most of the Funnels and inflict some damage to the head area. Its last battle comes against the RGZ-91 Re-GZ piloted by Chan Agi. During this fight the α Azieru is destroyed when Chan accidentally fires her rockets on the cockpit and kills Quess.

The α Azieru also appears in the fifth episode of Gundam Evolve where it again fights against Amuro but this time there is a happy end for her. This short clip also shows that the mobile armour can detach its head, which also contains the cockpit, and use it as some kind of shuttle.

The α Azieru is based on the experimental NZ-222 Psycho Doga which is built parallel to the MSN-03 Jagd Doga. The Psycho Doga is much smaller than the α Azieru but because the size of the psycommu system isn’t reduced in time, the body is enlarged to that of a mobile armor. Also this design features an I-field barrier and only 6 funnels.

Lastly there also exists the NZ-444 β Azieru (Beta Azieru) but there isn’t much known about this unit. However in terms of weapons it is much stronger than the α Azieru and thanks to its I-field barrier generator it also features a better defense.

After the Second Neo Zeon War, α Azieru's remains were recovered by Buch Concern. Its psycommu technology was reverse-engineered and combine with data from Den'an-type mobile suits and spawn the mobile armour XMA-02 Ebirhu Doga. Ebirhu Doga is loaded with Bugs, the remote-controlled killing machines in order to execute Carozzo “Iron Mask” Ronah's plan to wipe out all humans on earth. Ebirhu Doga also armed with a large mega particle cannon and funnels, based on α Azieru's. Fortunely, with the death of Carozzo the Ebirhu Doga was never used.



Rise above all
