YMS-07B Ramba Ral's Gouf (YMS-07B ランバ・ラル専用グフ) is a Mobile Suit geared to be Zeon's improvement over the Zaku. Built using the Zaku's basic structure, its framing and interior have been revised significantly to create a new Mobile Suit type. At a glance, it looks extremely similar to the Zaku, but it actually outclasses its predecessor with better weaponry and thicker armor plating. Its menacing Heat Rod, a whip-like appendage, can transmit a deadly electric current to disable captured Mobile Suits and their pilots.
Before Zeon desired for the Gouf to become a mass-produced unit, three prototypes of the Gouf were given to test by Ramba Ral's unit. In his second encounter with Gundam, Ramba decided to pilot the enhanced prototype among the three units. His version is equipped with an efficient fuel unit, which became the basis for future Gouf units. This particular Gouf is specially tuned to Ramba Ral's preferences for piloting, making it his proud unit for fighting in close ranged duels. When used in his duel with Gundam, the Gouf's weaponry is one of the first to actually melt through Gundam's tough exterior. The iconic bluish tint for Ramba's model is said to be one of the reasons why mass-produced Goufs have the same coloring. Since his prototype became the model for mass-produced Goufs, they also share a similar model numbering (MS-07B for mass-produced versions).
The Gouf later sees action during the defenses at Odessa and Jaburo. While ace pilots adapted well to the Gouf, the Mobile Suit proved too difficult to be used by newer pilots due to its unique control system. Therefore, plans to continue pushing the Gouf series forward is put on hold in favor of another model.
