Sazabi

MSN-04 Sazabi (MSN-04 サザビー) is a Newtype mobile suit personally designed for Char. Like its earlier counterpart, Jagd Doga, Sazabi's design is based on Neo Zeon's Geara Doga. Designed with hopes to improve its durability over its counterparts, Sazabi went through a trying trial-and-error process for its engineers. Its original size mirrored the qualifications for a Mobile Armor class, but its height and weight were gradually shrunken down to accommodate Char's taste for combat and an intricate Psycommu system. The shape of Sazabi's framing allows it be aerodynamic while allowing just enough room for the Newtype centric technology. Once it was completed, Char used it to lead his armies as it was the best Mobile Suit for their side. The giant version of Sazabi's older plans were implemented for Alpha Azieru's creation.

The Mobile Suit's spherical cockpit is separate from the suit, letting it serve as an escape pod for emergencies. When Sazabi is dismantled to pieces during its final fight with Nu Gundam, Char ejects the cockpit to free himself from Sazabi's wreckage. Amuro catches his cockpit with Nu Gundam, forcing Char to accompany Amuro's push against the burning fragment of Axis. Like Amuro, however, Char is reported to be missing in action upon the conclusion of his rebellion.
