Concepts and development

The original design of the three primary mobile suits, "Gundam" (left), "Guncannon" (center) and "Guntank" (right)

The RX-78's initial concept was that of a powered armor, the primary design for Yoshiyuki Tomino's proposed series Freedom Fighter Gunboy. is a Japanese Anime creator director screenwriter and novelist The series later changed its name to Mobile Suit Gundam and Kunio Okawara was given Tomino's concept to shape into a finalized design for the anime. is a televised Anime series created by Sunrise. Written and directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, it premiered in Japan on Nagoya Broadcasting Network is a mechanical designer in the Japanese Anime industry A mechanical designer is similar to a character designer but the design is for robots ships and other mechanical Okawara created multiple designs before settling on the current, samurai-styled design for the anime in 1979.

One of the common questions asked is why did the enemies in the series keep referring to the RX-78-2 as White while it is a mix of blue, red, and white. Tomino's response in the novel version of Gundam is that the original design was to be a grayscale machine, made up of mostly white and light gray colouring. However, Sunrise disapproved of the colouring and insisted the unit to be painted in brighter colours to attract attention, like other Super Robot anime at that time. is a term used in Manga and Anime to describe a giant robot or Mecha, with an arsenal of fantastic super-powered weapons sometimes transformable or combined from

Although the 'original' Gundam, the RX-78-2 design was expanded to be the second in a line of 8 Gundams; preceding model RX-78-1 and later models RX-78-3~8. These were designed by Okawara between 1980 and 1983 for Mobile Suit Variations. The Mobile Suit Variations, simply known as MSV to fans are variations on the mechanical designs seen in the Anime Mobile Suit Gundam; specifically Other mechnical designers later added further design variations; including Yutaka Izubuchi's RX-78-NT-1, designed in 1989 for Mobile Suit Gundam 0080, and Shoji Kawamori's and Katoki Hajime's Gundam Development Project designs in 1992 for Gundam 0083. is a Japanese Illustrator, Anime designer and director.

In particular, the Katoki Hajime version of the Gundam (referred to by Gundam fans and Bandai themselves as Ver. Ka) has become popular enough to be made into both injection plastic model kits sold by Bandai and resin-based garage kits sold by their B-Club subsidiary.

The continuing popularity in Japan of this mobile suit has led Bandai to create a 1. 5m tall model version, which will go on sale in Japan in 2007. ^[1]

Role in plot

The deployment of the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits, the MS-05B Zaku I and the MS-06F Zaku II, in the One Year War had given the small nation a major tactical edge over the much larger Earth Federation. For the Shining Force II character called Zeon see Shining Force II For the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! character called Zeon see In the Anime and Manga Mobile Suit Gundam universe the MS-05 Zaku I was the first successful Mobile suit design to be developed by The MS-06 Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam metaverse The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries Capable of propellant-less manoeuvring thanks to their AMBAC systems, and able to be retrofitted to suit a variety of missions and environments, they easily outclassed the Federation's arsenal of fighters and ground vehicles. Realizing that the gap needed to be closed, the Federation instituted Project V (short for "Project Victory"), a development program that would produce a counterpart Federation mobile suit design, with the ability for mass-production a requirement. The Project V (also known as Operation V) was a Fictional weapon development program in the Mecha Anime Mobile Suit Gundam While the ultimate result of the program was the RGM-79 GM, the engineers in the project tested several design concepts for the mass-production units in the RX-78 series. This article is about a Mobile suit, a fictional weapon of the Mobile Suit Gundam Anime Metaseries. Some of the developments in the RX-78 models were later incorporated into the GM line, but many were scrapped due to cost and/or complexity.

Only 8 RX-78 suits were produced during the One Year War, although continual remodelling and upgrading created the impression that there were more than eight units. The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries Although the RX-78 suits are designated RX-78-1~8, the final digit indicated the design version of the unit, and not the unit's actual number.

In addition, the EFAF (Earth Federation Air Force) created their own RX-78E (GT FOUR/Gundam Transformer/Flight & Operations Unifications Reactors), which is different from the 8 RX-78s produced. Another extra unit is the RX-78XX, which uses scrap parts of the RX-78s, and again is not considered to be one of the original line. The NT-1 is actually RX-78 unit 4 remodelled (original model unknown). After the One Year War, the GP series are numbered after the RX-78 convention, despite being newly produced units. The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries

The variation among the Gundams was originally indicated by differences in colouration, indicating upgrades to completely internal equipment and technology, although later variants displayed externally-visible upgrades. For example, Unit 4's NT-1 configuration have extra thrusters, additional armor, and a 360 degree panoramic cockpit, while Unit 4 and Unit 5, which exist mainly in games and as model kits, provide additional mounting points and weaponry.

The RX-78 series introduced Minovsky particle weaponry to mobile suits, developing and deploying the first successful beam rifle and beam saber. This is a list of fictional technology from the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. These would form the primary component of mobile suit weaponry for at least the next hundred and fifty years. The core block system was also introduced in the RX-78, as well as the RX-75 Guntank and RX-77 Guncannon. This system allowed the pilot to escape the destruction of his mobile suit in a functional aerospace fighter, as well as housing a learning computer that can gather performance data from the suit's combat sorties. This however had to be dropped from subsequent units due to cost issues. However, it was reused on occasion (most notably in the Anaheim Electronics MSZ-010 Double Zeta Gundam during the First Neo-Zeon War), and later resurrected by the League Militaire in the UC 0150s on the LM312V04 Victory Gundam. This article is about the fictional corporation in the Gundam metaseries Universal Century timeline The Anime TV series aired on Japanese TV from 1986–1987 was the third Gundam series and a direct follow up to Mobile Suit

After the cessation of the One Year War, the Federation opened up a black-ops mobile suit development program, the Gundam Development Project, in order to develop mobile suits to fill roles that had appeared in analysis of combat operations from the One Year War. The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries The Gundam Development Project is a military design program in the mythos of the long-running Japanese franchise Mobile Suit Gundam. The major reason that the project was designated black-op was because of the RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis, which was armed with an atomic bazooka, in violation of the Antarctic Treaty. The Antarctic Treaty is a fictional wartime treaty in the Universal Century timeline of the sci-fi mecha anime Mobile Suit Gundam. After the events of Gundam 0083, the records of the Gundam Development Project were stricken from the official record. is a 13-episode Anime OVA series set in the Gundam universe The first volume containing two 30-minute episodes was released in Japan on May

The RX-78 line was finally superseded in UC 0087 by the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, developed by the Titans. In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II are three prototype mobile suits developed by the Titans, an elite special unit of the Earth
