The YMS-08A was a prototype ground mobile suit developed by the Zimmad Company to compete with Zeonic's YMS-07A Prototype Gouf. Designed mainly for close combat and guerilla warfare, it uses the basic design of the MS-06F Zaku II, but has a stronger radiator and armor, and is lighter. The backpack and legs were equipped with newly developed propulsion engines, and it was designed to be able to jump short distances. Unfortunately, its overall performance was not much different from that of the MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type, and the propulsion engines were not powerful enough to perform the short distance jump. Combined with a terrible cost performance, the YMS-08A's development plan was terminated based on a decision made by Zimmad's senior executives and the Zeon forces, and then integrated with that of the Prototype Gouf.
