The second variation of the R-Type Zaku II was designed as a test unit for a new mass-production space unit. Only four units were developed before the Rick Dom was chosen as the new space combat mobile suit and the experimental Zaku II line was halted. Johnny Ridden has his unit customized to his colors, which look startlingly like Char Aznable’s, although the red is significantly darker.
