Zakuto is a character from 1988-1990, long before Gundam SEED Destiny. And this is not a character from Sangokuden.
The design is still the same as that in the past, only refined. I suppose its a coincidence that the shield and spike are in the same shoulder positions.
There has been records saying that its based on the MS-11 Action Zaku. Or it can just be a Zaku inspired original design. (The verniers at the crotch looks Zaku III, but that motif is 'taken' by his fellow clansman Shinzaku.)
If you're talking storywise, the red armor is the "Armor of Darkness" (Yami no Yoroi). When Zakuto puts it on it taken over him and he becomes the "Dark General" (Yamishougun). Zukuto is contorlled by the "Dark Emperor" (Yami Koutei) through the "Armor of Darkness".
Maybe the character's from then, but this version has a good bit in common with the ZAKU Warrior, as noted in this pic: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f356/AmuroNT1/Gundam/comparison.png
Does anyone know what the red armor mode is supposed to represent? Because I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteThe base model is the ZAKU Warrior, the red armor (with the huge cannon) is Lunamaria's custom Gunner ZAKU.
DeleteI don't think so...

DeleteThe similarities you circled are already there in the design years ago:
