Look at the smaller, dated, link to see this kit being built. The link
even shows how articulated the Zudah is, from the INSIDE of the parts!
The ankle is triple jointed! Nice!

HGUC Zudah:
As you can see, the legs are okay in proportion, though admittedly
scrawny - but not short! My observation, too, is that the designers
took a lot of the Tallgeese into the design.

How it holds the big rifle - like a zaku machine gun!

The Zudah's backpack is removable, at which point it resembles more
something out of Space 1999.

The rifle; contrast and brightness has been tweaked to make the
details stand out.

HGUC Zaku I
Very simple design, except for the elbows, which are the same as the
Hazul's. Has a waist joint. Has two head covers, one with an
officer's spike, and a normal cover. Has specialized hands for
holding the bazooka and performing the football tackle move. Has a
polycap that allows it to use the SEED stands.

HGUC Strike Noir (as compared to the Akatsuki and standard Strike)
I had thought that the construction of the Strike Noir would have
been a rehash of the old Strike Unit, but as it turns out, this isn't
true - it's more from the Akatsuki, than the old Strike.

The Noir has various weapons, but the main are the swords, the
pistols, and the wing guns - I have no idea what that cable thing is,
honestly.

The shoulder joint is mostly ABS, and this will spell trouble as the
joint wears out (if you're the sort who poses and reposes his kits).
This design is definitely from the Akatsuki.

Aside from that, it also has ball-jointed front waistplates:

And, the nice secret: it has a swinging hip axle:

Here's a comparison of the three "strike-types"
