Description
This one took a while to hash out in terms of the basic concept. I see the Z'Gok as a sort of heavy armor mod for the Zaku II reploid that allows it to move and fight more effectively underwater. Its hands are large claws that can grip and slice opponents with ease (the arms also have built-in buster cannons). The two hydrojet engines on the back can be detached and fired like torpedos, and do quite a bit of damage.The main reason for this one being so late is because I was stressing over how to work the Z'Gok's head-mounted missile launchers. In the end, however, I just decided to scrap them and make the backpack thrusters double as weapons. I hope nobody gets too upset about that little workaround.

Underwater heavywork reploids! Interesting concept ^^ Well, do they have only the back hydrojets as the only weapon?

they aren't for heavy underwater work. They're combat reploids for submarine warfare, and they have buster cannons in their forearms.

Suddenly I'm reminded of the Resistance soldiers in the Zero series and how they got treated by the enemy. If the GM Reploids are to be analogous to them, then I imagine a similar fate will befall them as well. *Char's Z'Gok SMASH!*
Well done, as usual. Do you plan on making the other amhibious suits in the same vein, or will they be their own Reploids?

Actually, the remaining amphibious suits (except maybe the Zock) will be their own reploids. I'm finding it amazingly (and hilariously) difficult to make amphibious suits look any more reploid-esque than they already do, though.

Yeah...I know. I had to look past that the whole way through designing this one.

now THAT's something you don't see everyday. I like them. I have a bit of a problem with the head, since a Z'gok's head and a reploid's head are very different. Heck, I don't even think a Z'gok has a neck - their heads are built right into their bodies!
That said, I commend you for trying to "helmetify" the Z'gok's head.
