== Description ==
Produced by Earthwerks-FWL, Incorporated for the [[AMSC]], the '''''Anzu''''' was named for the mythological griffin that snatched the tablets of destiny from the gods, and was intended to be a symbol of the refusal of the various peoples of the [[Free Worlds League]] to allow others to dictate their future. The ''Anzu'' was the embodiment of AMSC combat doctrine when it was introduced.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp32+"/>

The ''Anzu'' was well-regarded by both [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] and technicians for its reliability; the AMSC found the ''Anzu'' to be a good fit for the aggressive combat tactics they had developed since the [[Jihad]]. Although the ''Anzu's'' maximum ground speed was 64 km/h, the Chilton 465 [[Jump Jet]]s allowed the ''Anzu'' to jump up to 120 meters. The ''Anzu'' mounted eleven tons of Starshield A [[standard armor]] with CASE II built in to protect the 'Mech and its pilot from ammunition explosions. The ''Anzu'' also used the same life support systems as the ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'', already well-proven by the time the ''Anzu'' entered service, and the RCA Instatrac Mark X targeting and tracking system allowed the ''Anzu'' to simultaneously engage multiple targets while also spotting for indirect fire through the installed TAG system.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp32+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Anzu'' was designed to be a powerful mid-range fighter. To meet that battlefield mission it mounted in the left arm a powerful [[Imperator Automatic (UAC10)|Imperator Automatic]] [[Ultra AC/10|Ultra Class 10 Autocannon]], fed by three tons of ammunition stored in the left torso. Also in the left torso is a [[Zeus (LRM10)|Zeus]] [[LRM-10]] with two tons of ammunition. The designers mounted a [[Diverse Optics Sunfire]] [[Extended-Range Medium Laser]] and a [[Fusigon Shorttooth]] [[Light Particle Projection Cannon]] in the right arm. The designers boosted the performance of the Fusigon Shorttooth by mounting a [[PPC Capacitor]] in the right arm as well, allowing the pilot of an ''Anzu'' to boost the damage output of the Shorttooth for brief periods.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp32+"/>

== Variants ==
*;ZU-J70 : The ZU-J70 variant of the ''Anzu'' was developed by Earthwerks to act as a lancemate to the ZU-G60. Other than the ER Medium Laser, the original weapon loadout of the ZU-G60 was removed; a lighter [[Rotary AC/5]] took the place of the Ultra AC/10, while the LRM-10 was replaced with an [[MML-7]]. Lastly, an [[ER Small Laser]] was mounted in the ''Anzu's'' head. Feeding the Rotary AC/5 was four tons of ammunition, stored in two [[CASE II]]-protected bins located in the left arm and left torso; two tons of ammunition for the MML-7 were also stored in the left torso. A [[Snub-Nose PPC]] replaced the Light PPC and capacitor.
