Do you suppose people get used to the idea that you might drive by that particular building at any given time and see four-legged robots romping around, or is it always a "Jesus Christ a robot invasion" moment of sheer, visceral panic.

IIRC they ended up with a bunch of tank turrets sans bases because of this so they re-purposed a bunch as like bazookas for mechs.

Zeon over stretched their supply lines really badly with the invasion of Earth, so the engineers had to get creative. If your Zaku loses its gun, give it the gun off the tank. If your Zaku loses its legs, give it the tank

Caufman posted:It can also take off it's tank-tread bottoms and switch it out for bipedal or octopedal legs. As I said, the Zaku Tank was mainly a desperate measure to have some kind of fieldable Mobile Weapon by supply starved Zeon Earth forces in the later days of the One Year War. It wasn't just a configuration option like the Gundam and the G-Armor. If they turned a Zaku into a Zaku Tank they weren't going to put legs back on it later, because they would probably never get that opportunity. And if you have evidence of a Zaku with eight legs, I'd like to see it
