[edit] MAX-03 Adzam

During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon experimented with various mobile armor concepts, and one of their earliest and most successful was the MAX-03 Adzam, an experimental ground combat mobile armor. Based on the decades old G87 Luna Tank, it was equipped with the untested Minovsky craft system, allowing it to hover in the air for virtually unlimited lengths of time with the assistance of eight VTOL rotors. It had eight twin-barreled mega particle gun turrets, giving it 360-degrees of protection. The second of its weapon was particularly unique: the first version of the "leader" weapon, designed to overload a suit's electronics and systems with electric plasma. It consisted of two parts: an explosive full of a conductive "dust" material, and a cage that covered the target in plasma. This weapon would be improved and used on the MA-06 Val Varo.

Since the Adzam was an experimental unit, there were a limited amount of units built. Two were assigned to M'Quve's mining division at Odessa, on Earth. One unit would be piloted by M'Quve and Kycilia Zabi against Amuro Ray and his RX-78-2 Gundam when he was attacking the facility. The leader weapon almost destroyed the Gundam, but the "dust" wore off long enough for Amuro to break free and destroy the Adzam (even though the pilots escaped). The second would be used to fight off the Federation forces during Operation Odessa. It would be destroyed in the process by teams of RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type units. Another was stationed in Australia and was destroyed by the White Dingo Team led by Master Pierce Rayer in late November UC 0079.
