Really? What about all the extra weapons that's not originally in the
anime? Gadem's Zaku I in Ep.3 was fighting barehanded, so the
question was that if Zaku I was nromally armed originally or they were
added afterward.
Seems to me reasonable if Zaku I had some kind of bazooka, machine
gun and hawk at different times. But the punch shield and panzer
faust seems out of place.
The old classic gunpla mook "How to Build Gundam 2" had a Zaku I mod and it only has the custom machine gun and the cannon that's converted from the old Magella Attack barrel. No custom bazooka, surely no spike shield. Wonder if the shoulder pad & the custom bazooka came a latter time or the modeller just didn't bother.
