Hyaku Shiki, EUG prototype, is a personalized high-performance attack mobile suit, piloted by Zane. Its armaments are as follows;

AE/ZIM.C-BAZ-531 Clay Bazooka
The Hyaku Shiki can carry a clip-fed clay bazooka manufactured by Anaheim Electronics.
Beam Saber
The Hyaku-Shiki had 2 beam sabers stored on the recharge rack of the rear-waist armor. Each saber is power rated at 0.4MW.
BR-M-87 Beam Rifle
The Hyaku Shiki carries a unique beam rifle derived from Rick-Dias' beam pistol, with a power rating of 2.8 MW and powered by rechargeable energy cap.
Mega Bazooka Launcher
An optional destructive armament that can only be operated by Hyaku Shiki, it can be powered by its support mobile suit, MSA-005 Methuss.
Anti-beam Coating
The first Mobile Suit to ever use an anti-beam coating (ABC). The technology coats multiple layers of high specific heat capacity material on top of the armor that evaporates in high temperature. It provides a type of sacrificial protection against any type of beam weapon. However, due to its nature of ablating when defending against great heat, ABC can only tolerate a few hits to the same spot.

He sometimes uses this to his advantage as well by making male opponents nervous and flustered. Zane is wise and has a good heart despite his vanity. He will honor his word always.
History:
Zane Preston grew up to a wealthy family of politicians in Metargo. He was groomed to enter politics yet he wasnât interested in sitting behind some desk or standing at dinner parties while deciding the fates of others. He was more interested in protecting others and making a difference in the world with his own might. Zane knew that his stuffy family would simply allow him to quite the political career path so he had to force their hand. At a international conference Zane stood at the podium in front of everyone and asked the secretary of state to approach the podium. Zane grabbed him and passionately kissed him in front of the entire conference room. Everyone was appalled and he was asked to step down from his office.
Zane, now successfully freed from his career in politics, enlisted in the armed forces. Of course his scandal followed him but his skill and strength overcame any obstacle that the scandal could have brought on. He rose up the ranks quickly and in only a few yearsâ time. Zane saved the life of his commanding officer and soon afterward the commander retired. Zane was soon appointed Admiral of the 96th fleet. Zane had attended the annual Metargo Military festival as a special honored guest where he met the headline performer, popular idol Azaka Oikawa. After a short while the two were dating and have since become a couple. Zaneâs relationship is publically known yet girls sill faint over him and Azaka nonetheless. Zane has a rather guarded take on the invasion of Benjlakki nation.
