Technical and Historical Notes
|
"It's totally different from a GM.. so THIS is a Gundam, huh?" - Terry Sanders, Jr.
While the Earth Federal Forces' "Project V" mobile suit development program was underway at the Side 7 research colony, the Federation also began production of experimental units at its Jaburo military headquarters in South America on Earth. Intending to help turn the tide of the groundside war during the One Year War, the engineers at Jabrow used spare parts originally manufactured for the RX-78-2 Gundam prototype and built approximately 20 units of a specialized ground combat-model Gundam, the RX-79[G]. Twelve of these units were assigned to the Kojima Batallion stationed in Southeast Asia, particularly to the 04th and 08th MS Teams.
Though in many ways similar to its RX-78-2 predecessor, the RX-79[G] was
quite a bit different in other ways, particularly in its armament. The beam
sabers were stored in the legs, as the backpack mounted an equipment rack
to carry storage containers, parachute packs, or other field options. The
head vulcan guns were removed, as the head now carried a periscope for underwater
and trench warfare. The Gundam still had the generator power to use a beam
rifle, though it was often equipped with a standard 100 mm machinegun or
a heavy 180 mm cannon. A single vulcan gun and a multiple-use "multi-launcher"
mounted in the torso's left breast rounded out the new armament. The complicated
and expensive Core Block System was also replaced with a standard cockpit
mounted in the upper chest just below the head.

[1]The Head and Hands are small targets , and are difficult to hit. Therefore, even with a called shot, they are -3 to hit.
[2]Destroying the Head will disrupt the Gundam's ability to receive radio signals and has a 50% chance of destroying the radar and laser tracking systems. This will eliminate the bonuses for Strike and Dodge.
[3]Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will disable the Gundam.
