During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon's most heavily mass-produced mobile suit was the MS-06F Zaku II. However, many variants of the F-type Zaku were also introduced during the war, and the MS-06J Zaku II was almost completely identical to it. The J-type was built exclusively for ground combat, removing the vernier thrusters required on space-use F-type models. The J-type also carried a slightly more powerful powerplant (possibly to assist in its mobility under the full-gravity conditions of Earth) and was waterproofed for limited underwater operations. Despite these minor differences, the J-type Zaku is 99% visually identical to the standard F-type. The J-type also uses all of the same standard armaments as its spaceborne counterpart. J-type Zakus were notably employed in the Southeast Asia campaign and in Australia, as well as by the Midnight Fenrir team during the assault on Jaburo.  In both regions, Zeon engineers added spikes to the right arm shoulder armor, giving it increased melee combat ability and adding to the overall psychological effect the Zaku II has.
