This article is about a fictional weapon from the Cosmic Era timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries.

The YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah is a prototype mobile armor created by the Earth Alliance and manufactured by Aducarf Mechano Industries. It has a giant body with a unique, crab-like shape. Three crew members are required to control the Zamza-Zah (a pilot and two gunners, one operating the claws and the other operating the cannons). Each of the Zamza-Zah's four limbs are equipped with a retractable hyper-oscillation claw, a projectile cannon, a multi-phase beam cannon, and 4 CIWS guns. Besides this powerful array of weapons, it also has a powerful positron reflector shield, strong enough to even deflect the positron cannon blast from ZAFT's Minerva.

The Zamza-Zah was deployed in CE 73 from a fleet of Earth Alliance ships just outside of Orb territorial waters, to attack Minerva as a field test of the new weapon. In the ensuing battle, it deflected a beam from Minerva's "Tannhäuser" positron cannon and proved a substantial challenge for Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X56S Impulse. Although it ripped away Impulse's right leg with one of its claws, it was ultimately destroyed when Shinn went into SEED mode and stabbed the mobile armor through the cockpit with his beam saber.

At least two more Zamza-Zahs were stationed on the moon to defend the Alliance's Daedalus lunar base, and one more at Fauré relay station for the base's Requiem cannon.
