The ZGMF-MM07 Z'Gok is a mobile suit introduced in the animated film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Z'Gok is a ZAFT designed mobile suit. While it has the aesthetics of ZAFT's aquatic mobile suits, it is fully capable of operating in space. It features weaponry such as missiles and mega particle cannons. It is primarily piloted by Athrun Zala.[1]
The Z'Gok itself is primarily controlled from its cockpit, but can also be remote controlled by an allied unit from afar, such as the MBF-02 Strike Rouge equipped with the AMGS-X18P Cavalier Aifrid. The Z'Gok itself can be controlled directly by the Cavalier when docked to it from above, allowing whoever is in the cockpit of the Cavalier to temporarily pilot it, in a configuration known as the Amazing Z'Gok.[2][3]
The Z'Gok is actually a disguise, which hides the ZGMF-X191M2 ∞ Justice Gundam Type II inside it. In an emergency, the Z'Gok exterior can be purged to allow the ∞ Justice Type II to fight on its own.
Armaments[]
Special Equipment & Features[]
- M2X32E Volantes
- A subflight lifter designed for the Infinite Justice Type II, equipped with a variety of beam weapons and missiles. The Z'Gok can equip the Volantes on its back to enhance its own maneuverability and firepower.
- A large support craft built for electronic warfare. The Z'Gok relies on the Cavalier to transport it to its destination.
History[]
In C.E.75, Athrun Zala piloted the Z'Gok equipped with the M2X32E Volantes Sub-flight Lifter to save Kira Yamato's heavily damaged STTS-909 Rising Freedom Gundam from Shura Serpentine's NOG-M1A1 Shi-ve.A and Agnes Giebenrath's ZGMF-2027/A GYAN Strom in Eldore. Despite its heavy loadout, the Z'Gok engaged the Shi-ve.A in melee combat. The duel was cut short when the Black Knight Squad detected an incoming nuclear missile and decided to retreat. The Z'Gok then docked with a cloaked AMGS-X18P Cavalier Aifrid and evacuated Kira by diving underwater to avoid the blast.[4]
The Z'Gok was later assigned to the LHM-BB03S Millennium for a mission to infiltrate the space fortress Artemis. Using the Mirage Colloid Stealth System, the Z'Gok successfully slipped past Artemis' beam barrier, causing significant disruption in the base's docks and providing cover for the COMPASS Commando team tasked with rescuing the kidnapped Lacus Clyne.[4]
After Lacus was rescued, Athrun flew the Z'Gok to assist Kira's ZGMF/A-262B Strike Freedom Gundam Type II, which was cornered by the NOG-M2D1/E Black Knight Squad Cal-re.A and Shura's Shi-ve.A. As the Shi-ve.A aimed to deliver the final blow to the Strike Freedom Type II, Athrun intervened and blocked its attack with the Z'Gok. The attack destroyed the Z'Gok, revealing the ZGMF-X191M2 ∞ Justice Gundam Type II hidden inside. The ∞ Justice Type II then dueled the Shi-ve.A.[4]

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Z'Gok is a homage to the MSM-07 Z'Gok from the Universal Century.
- Athrun's Z'Gok is an homage to Char Aznable's MSM-07S Z'Gok Commander Type.
- The Z'Gok shares the same name as the MSM-07-A Amazing Z'Gok when the Z'Gok combines with the Cavalier to become the Amazing Z'Gok.
- The prefix Amazing in Amazing Z'Gok is inspired by Kamen Rider Kuuga.[5]
- In an unused scenario planned for the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom movie, Murrue Ramius had suggested a counter-tactic where Athrun would say on the intercom to Cagalli or Meyrin to remote control the mobile suit against the Black Knight's mind reading tactics.[6]
