Sometimes pronounced as "Zettsu" instead of "Zeta-Two", the ZII was intended to be the successor to the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. It uses a simplified frame similar to that of the MSA-005 Methuss as the Zeta Gundam's frame was deemed too complicated. This also has the effect of making it easier to produce and pilot. The machine focuses on space use, thus the ZII's MA mode, which is called Waverider mode for convenience, lacks its predecessor's ability of atmospheric re-entry and flight on Earth. However, this mode has greater acceleration and maneuverability than that of the Zeta Gundam. The ZII is armed with a pair of beam sabers and a Mega Beam Rifle, which has firepower equal to that of the Ζeta Gundam's Hyper Mega Launcher. It also lacks the bio-sensor which is featured in the Ζeta Gundam and its later successor, the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam.
