Technical and Historical Notes
|
As the Earth Federal
Forces concentrated their manufacturing efforts on the production of their
new mass-produced RGM-79 GM units during the latter months of the One Year
War, those mobile suits already fielded had to make do with what few materials
were available. Since the RX-79[G] Gundams were themselves built using spare
parts, there were no more spare parts left to effect repairs to heavily damaged
units, and field engineers had to literally rebuild mobile suits with whatever
they could find. When Ensign Shiro Amada's RX-79[G] was trashed in an attempt
to stop Zeon's prototype Apsalus mobile armor in November UC 0079, the Kojima
Batallion's engineers and mechanics rebuilt his mobile suit with many improvised
modifications.
The RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 (short for "extra zero-eight") retained the same
beam sabers in the legs, as well as the standard RX-79[G] hand armaments.
However, its other fixed weapons were changed out, with a pair of 35 mm
machineguns mounted in the head and a turret-mounted 12.7 mm anti-personnel
machinegun in the chest. The Ez8's armor plating and placement was improved
overall, and the traditional Gundam "V-fin" on the head was replaced with
a sturdier communications antenna. The Ez8 did retain the backpack equipment
rack from the standard RX-79[G], allowing it to keep its ability to mount
parachute packs or other field equipment options.

[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.
