Mecha Profile: NZ-333 Alpha Azieru – Char’s Counterattack
The NZ-333 α Azieru is one of the strongest giant mobile armor made specifically for Newtype pilots at the time, developed and fielded by the ambitious Neo Zeon during the Second Neo Zeon War. A tremendous yet familiar sight, the Azieru is somehow assigned and piloted by if not a very young Newtype pilot – the childish Quess Paraya.

I. History:
– Developed and built by Neo Zeon Newtype Research Labs as an experimental unit, the NZ-333 α Azieru was one of the strongest Newtype-use mobile armor ever made at the time of the Second Neo Zeon War in the Universal Century of U.C. 0093. With data and records from AMX-002 Neue Ziel – its direct ascendant during the Delaz Conflict in U.C. 0083, the α Aizeru was then fully made for Newtype use. Because of its massive size, it must be towed with Zeon’s vessels outside for transportation as well. With many kinds of kinetic, beam, funnels and melee weaponry all over its body, the α Azieru was rampaging in the battlefield terrifyingly thanks to its powerful Newtype pilot – Quess Paraya.
– The mobile armor was assigned to her when she defected to Neo Zeon with Char Aznable, the Azieru then first saw combat against the independent Londo Bell unit from the Earth Federation, destroying many of its mobile suits but then it also faced the legendary ace pilot – Amuro Ray in his powerful v Gundam. The fight goes hot when Amuro was able to destroy some of the α Azieru’s funnels while damaging its head. Later on the α Azieru encountered the Re-GZ Gundam piloted by Amuro’s girlfriend – Chen Agi in which she shot a grenade launcher that fatally destroyed α Azieru’s cockpit while its pilot also died in the process. However, there are multiple endings to this aside from the movie version, for example in the novel version, it was destroyed by a mass-produced Jegan mobile suit piloted by Hathaway Noa – Bright Noa’s son who was also the commander of Londo Bell.

II. Technical Specs & Armaments:
– The NZ-333 α Azieru is a giant experimental mobile armored developed by Neo Zeon Newtype Research Labs specifically made for Newtype-use, its massive size means it has to be towed by other space vessels during transportation instead of keeping it inside. The head is its cockpit, utilizing the similar 360-degree control interface to other Neo Zeon’s advanced mobile suits such as Char’s Sazabi or Jagd Doga. The α Azieru also comes with Psycommu System for turning the brain waves from the pilot into raw machine codes, using just mere thoughts to control it. The large leg-looking Sturm Thrusters external propellants were also installed for increasing α Azieru’s combat period. The head is also detachable from its body like an escape pod for pilot safety when the body was destroyed.
– For its defensive ranged weapons, the α Azieru has a mix of both kinetic and beam weapons. Starting with its four vulcan guns on the side of its head, small caliber but high rate of fire, they act as defensive weapons. It also has the twin larger vulcan gun on its forehead as well with a firing rate of 6000 rounds per minute, similar to the real life vulcan guns.
– When it’s on the offensive, the head of α Azieru also has a large Mega Particle Gun located on its “mouth” which has a high power rating of 19.5 Megawatts which is able to destroy multiple mobile suits at a single shot. Not only that but the α Azieru also comes with the second Mega Particle Gun on its chest too. Its shoulder armor also consisted of two Mega Arm Cannons with 5-barrel cannons each, they are also wire guided and are controlled via Psycommu system making them act similar to the funnels but with shorter range, each of its cannon holds 12.6 Megawatts of power. The shoulder armor also has a pair of folding claw arms for melee engagement too.
– Since its a Newtype-use only, the α Azieru has another special and if not the most dangerous weapon of it – the Psycommu-controlled nine Large Funnels which are rechargeable and stored on the recharge racks on its skirt armor, they had its own generators and can be used to attack in all-rage all-direction without any Minovsky particles interference like the wire guided weapons. Each one of them has a dead 20.4 Megawatts of power output, compressed into smaller beams for better penetration.
