Though, after just building the kit (finally!) Yesterday (In my custom
Ivory color scheme!) I can say that there's really nothing about it that
looks anything like a Gundam OR a Zaku except for the Gundam-style feet.
Seriously, Anaheiem must have resculpted every single piece of the GT to
make it look like this, so it's a bit at odds with the idea of them simply
're-armoring' the GT-4 to look more Zionic. There are certain things like
the placement of the calf-thrusters, the shoulder thrusters, the rear
thrusters, the crotch thruster that are _integral_ to the design and which
are explicitly Jionic in nature that can't have been simply grafted-on to
a Gundam!
This suggests to me that it _must_ have been a Jion-styled design from
the beginning.
