The data from the computer was later incorporated into the Federation’s first mass-production mobile suit, the RGM-79 GM.ĭespite its high performance and advanced design, the Gundam was pushed to its limits by Amuro’s astonishing Newtype abilities. This allowed it to evolve and improve as its affinity with Amuro increased. The mobile suit had a learning computer system that allowed it to collect data and adapt to the pilot’s abilities. The Gundam was then served on the assault carrier White Base until it was destroyed near the end of the war. When Zeon forces attacked the base, Tem Ray’s son Amuro piloted the Gundam and fought off the enemies.

The Gundam was assembled under the supervision of engineer Tem Ray in the Federation’s research base in the colony Side 7. The RX-78-2 Gundam was developed for close-ranged combat to complement them. The first two mobile suits to emerge from the programme, were designed for use between medium and long range.
