An anti-aircraft variant of the ground-pounding MS-06JC Zaku II, called the MS-06J-12, was under development at Zeon's California Base on Earth during the One Year War when word of the Federation's prototype mobile suits reached them. Inspired by the mix of close combat (RX-78-2 Gundam) and fire support (RX-77-2 Guncannon) mobile suits, the J-12-type Zaku II project was changed in scope, becoming the anti-MS support unit MS-06K Zaku Cannon. Nine prototype units were constructed at California Base, and this squadron of Zaku Cannons were led by 1st Lieutenant Ian Greydon in defense of the base until the end of the war. Greydon's own Zaku Cannon sported a custom twin-antenna head that came to be known as the "rabbit type." A handful of other Zaku Cannon units also turned up in other theaters of the Earthside war, including Southeast Asia.
