RX-79[G] Gundam

The RX-79[G] Gundam is a trial production type mobile suit, manufactured in limited quantities in order to gather combat data and reinforce the Federation's frontline forces. Based on the prototype RX-78 Gundam, it's been redesigned for land warfare, and thus omits all the RX-78's space combat capabilities. Nonetheless, the RX-79[G] type remains a high-performance mobile suit capable of fighting in almost any terrestrial environment - even underwater! In addition to a variety of optional weapons, this Gundam sports a back-mounted equipment rack that can carry a cargo container or parachute pack. Of the roughly 20 units produced, 12 have been assigned to Southeast Asia's Kojima Battalion.

RB-79 Ball

The Ball is a mass-produced "mobile pod" armed with a recoilless cannon. These inexpensive vehicles, based on civilian space pods, were created to provide fire support for the Federation Forces' GM mobile suits. Large numbers of Balls are deployed during the Federation's assaults on the space fortresses Solomon and A Baoa Qu.

Armament: 180mm cannon

RGM-79 GM

The GM - pronounced "Jim" - is a mass-produced version of the RX-78 Gundam, introduced just before the end of the war. In order to reduce its cost, the GM omits the Gundam's expensive Luna Titanium armor, Core Block system, and spare beam saber, and substitutes a short-range beam spray gun for the Gundam's beam rifle. Still, it's an effective close-combat mobile suit, and in the final campaigns of the war the GM turns the tide in favor of the Federation Forces.

Head height: 18.0 meters
Base weight: 41.2 tons
Full weight: 58.8 tons
Generator: 1250 kW
Thrusters: 55,500 kg

Armament: 60mm vulcan gun x 2

RX-75 Guntank

The Guntank is the third variety of prototype mobile suit developed by the Earth Federation. Lacking legs and hands, this crude mobile suit is relatively immobile and can't defend itself in close-range combat, and is thus used mostly for long-range artillery fire. The Guntank is initially manned by driver Ryu Jose and gunner Hayato Kobayashi, and is later modified so that Hayato can operate it single-handedly from the head cockpit.

Head height: 15.0 meters
Base weight: 56.0 tons
Full weight: 80.0 tons
Generator: 878 kW
Thrusters: 88,000 kg
180? turn: 7.5 seconds
Sensor radius: 6000 meters
Armor materials: Luna Titanium alloy
Armament: 120mm cannon x 2
quadruple missile launcher x 2
Pilots: Hayato Kobayashi , Ryu Jose

RX-77 Guncannon

The Guncannon is the second model of prototype mobile suits developed by the Earth Federation. Designed for medium-range support, it's equipped with a pair of shell-firing cannons in its shoulders, and can carry a beam rifle for additional firepower. While the Guncannon's heavy armor means it doesn't need to carry a shield, its greater weight makes it less agile than the Gundam. Only one Guncannon survives the Zeon attack on the Side 7 research colony, and it's soon assigned to civilian recruit Kai Shiden.

Gundam RX-78

The Gundam is one of three prototype mobile suits secretly developed by the embattled Earth Federation. After suffering tremendous losses to Zeon's mobile suits earlier in the war, the Federation set out to create its own, using the very latest advanced technology. The Gundam is the most successful of these prototypes, a close-combat mobile suit protected by tough Luna Titanium armor, and armed with both lethal beam sabers and a devastating beam rifle as powerful as a battleship cannon. It's also equipped with an advanced computer which learns from its pilot, ultimately enabling it to operate the Gundam automatically. In the hands of accidental pilot Amuro Ray, this one prototype mobile suit proves to be the equal of any Zeon weapon.
