The MSN-02 Perfect Zeong is a prototype Newtype-use mobile suit, and the completed version of the MSN-02 Zeong. It first appeared in Plamo-Kyoshiro, and later in the original design series Mobile Suit Variations (MSV) and the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Deleted Affair: Portrait Of Young Comet manga.

Prior to its appearance in Plamo-Kyoshiro, this version of the Zeong was referred to as the Zeong (Completed Unit) (ジオング（完成機）?). The name Perfect Zeong was given by Sacky Takeda, claiming that if Shiro Kyoda's custom Gunpla is the Perfect Gundam then his is the Perfect Zeong.

The Perfect Zeong was the final unit produced under Zeon's MS-16X Bishop Plan. Using the data obtained from the test runs of the MSN-01 High Mobility Psycommu System Zaku, Zeon engineers drafted plans for a new mobile suit and constructed the Perfect Zeong. Due to the MSN-02's massive size and the vast amount of energy required to power its multitude of beam weaponry, the Perfect Zeong's fusion reactor is 3.8 times larger than that of a standard mobile suit. According to the manga Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Skull Heart, the Perfect Zeong's massive size was due to misconceptions on the battlefield: many pilots at the Battle of Solomon had seen a giant Gundam head and assumed that the Gundam was massive and not Mobile Suit-sized. Everyone was unaware until the end of the fight (and even then, it's still treated as a rumor) that the "giant Gundam head" was actually the B Gundam.

The most notable difference between the Zeong and the Perfect Zeong is the obvious inclusion of legs in the Perfect Zeong. The enormous rocket thrusters mounted beneath the Zeong's skirt armor are now mounted on the bottoms of the Perfect Zeong's feet. As the legs increase the Zeong's mass, in "Perfect" form it would actually have somewhat reduced acceleration, though improved AMBAC capability would make it more agile. Because the Perfect Zeong's size made it impossible to fit into the hangar of any ship, the giant MS had to be tethered to a ship and towed.
