The Front Mission Evolved blog recently updated with data on a new Wanzer set called the Zephyr, adding to the already revealed Frost and Zenith units in the game.
Developed by Diable Avionics, the Zephyr is the next generation Wanzer poised to replace the standard models currently in use. The overall structure of Zephyr can support a moderate range of weaponry and still maintain a high rate of mobility.

At first glance, the name seems to be an exclusion from Diable Avionics’ standard naming convention of using weather phenomena on their Wanzers (Frost, Gust, Storm for example), though a bit of further reading might lead one to the name of Zephyrus or “The West Wind” in Greek mythology, which puts it squarely back into Diable’s part naming system.
