Hizack or Hi-Zaku

That is from the Mobile Suit Illustrated 2015 art book. So, when did the Hizach change its name to Hi-Zaku?

Probably a mistranslation.
It's still Hizack.

Re: Hizack or Hi-Zaku

MS Illustrated is littered with mistranslations. Agg as Acg, Gasshia ias Gatsha, G Fighter Bomber as 'Bommer,' Z'gok switching between 'Z'gok' and 'Z'gock' depending on which one, Full Armor Gundam Mk II having the misspelling of 'Gudam,' Wondwort instead of Woundwort, and a whole mess of other errors.

IIRC they even switched some labels around too so they aren't labeling the mobile suit with the correct name at all.

Just a quick note. Zaku is ザク Zack in Hizack is ザック. Even if you can't read it, visual compare should tell you it's different.

Exactly.
Grabro is Grublo, Big Zam is Byg Zam, Quin Mantha is Queen Mansa, and the list continues.

Re: Hizack or Hi-Zaku

While Hi-Zaku is an incorrect spelling, I do think that Hizack is intended to be short for HIgh performance ZAKu or something like that.
