Ok thanks for the hard work.  See the thread is heading towards 30+
message without any injection of facts :)

During your research, did you notice when did Old Zaku/Zaku became
Zaku I/Zaku II?  When did MS-05/06 numbers appear?  Who was
responsible?

I am curious too how and when Gyan became MS-15 (MSIA) and YMS-15
(HGUC).  Looking at all those MS prefixes (esp. in the original MSV),
I wonder if things was consistently thought out from day one, Old Zaku
should have been designated YMS-06 (or YMS-05).

EMS-10 was the rival unit in development vs MS-05 line. it lost the contract

Ahh... I didn't know that.  No wonder it's butt ugly.  So MS Igloo is
taking a War in the Pocket/Stardust Memory approach eh.  Suddenly
there's a whole alternate line of MS to rival the Zaku/Gouf line. Like how comic writers can insert infinite amount of side stories in
between Star Wars movies.

One more topic: MSV (1984) seems to say that Dom descended from Gouf
Flight Type which in turn descended from Gouf.  Making a single
lineage out of Old Zaku-Zaku-Gouf-Dom.  But then the current
understanding of canon seems to say Dom followed a wholly independent
line of development.  Your perspective?
