YGS-04 Bugu

The YGS-04 Bugu was the first Mobile Suit that was intentionally designed to fight other Mobile Suits in combat. It was also specifically made to counter the UCX-76-02 Guncannons fighting style.

History
The YGS-04 along with several GS-05 Zaku 1 units operated by skilled Japanese pilots managed to destroy a squad of 12 Guncannons and claimed the island of Guam. The outstanding performance by this German Mobile Suit made the Allies rethink their combat style.

Several more units of the YGS-04 were produced along side the GS-05 until they were both replaced by the much more versatile GS-06F Zaku 2, however, some pilots decided to keep their Bugu's.
