RX-78-2 Gundam

The RX-78-2 Gundam (ガンダム) was manufactured and operated in U.C.0079 by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War.  Also known as the "White Mobile Suit", it was very advanced for the time and was built using light weight Luna Titanium Alloy.

Armaments included 60mm "Vulcan" Gatling Cannons, BAUVA*XBR-M-79-07G Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, Beam Javelin, Hyper Hammer and RX*M-Sh-008/S-01025 Shield.


The first pilot for the RX-78-2 was Amuro Ray, who just so happened to be the son of Tem Ray, who was in charge of the Earth Federation's Project V.  Amuro became the Gundam's pilot purely by coincidence when Zeon forces attacked Side 7 during the One Year War.  Amuro was a gifted but brash and inexperienced New Type pilot, who developed into one of the most decorated aces of the Federation Forces.
