If padding the lesser MS with extra gimmicks and price
tag is
necessary to get them to the store shelves, I'd take it.

Well won't
that inflate the price tag as well? ;) Anyway, it's
not
out of the question for a future variant kit, but Topp may not want
to
touch this weapon...
IIRC, Old Zaku from 1979-80 had no gimmick
at all. Very soon after
(definitely before Zeta in 1985) Zaku became
Zaku II and Old Zaku
became Zaku I; and at some (much later) point Zaku I
began to have
weapons. The usual suspects are: Topp's Zaku I in
08MST, MG variant
kits (particularly Black Trinity version and Ramba
version) and games.
Won't surprise me at all if Zaku I first had
weapons (machine gun?)
in a SD game, any gamer can answer that? Or
perhaps FvZ arcade game.
Oh... hey... the heat hawk is also
included:

But
ehh... doesn't the proportion looks rather 1970s to you?
UGH
OTOH... this is the actual Zaku I bazooka! The MG Zaku I kits
all had
Zaku II bazookas. IIRC.
