Among amphibious MS, the Z'Gok's focus is on ground combat. Besides using both air and water-cooled radiators, it also has chemical fuel rockets for jumping in addition to thermonuclear water jets. The Z'Gok is also designed so that it can perform anti-air combat as well as search operations on and above the water surface, duties that the Gogg could not.
The Z'Gok's specifications are superior to those of the MS mass-produced by the Earth Federation Forces at the same period. However, in return for high performance, it is difficult to pilot. Even after the One Year War, several Z'Goks, sporting a new dark green color scheme, were used by Zeon remnants in UC 0096 during their attack on Torrington Base. One of these units was destroyed by a RX-160S Byarlant Custom.
