Technical and Historical Notes

With the Federation on the offensive and taking the war to the Principality of Zeon's home territory, the Earth Federal Forces needed to field more guns to support its somewhat limited number of RGM-79 GM mobile suit units. Their answer was to refit approximately 1200 civilian-model SP-W03 space construction pods with armor plating and a 180 mm recoilless cannon. Despite their limited firepower and low maneuverability, the Federal Forces would deploy this RB-79 Ball as mobile fleet defense units, protecting the Federation's ships while the GM mobile suits went on the attack.

Technical and Historical Notes

"There's lots of them!" - Letz Cofan
"It's a little different from the Gundam." - Kikka Kitamoto
"Now that you mention it, they're a LOT different." - Katz Hawin

Not initially taking the threat of "mobile suits" seriously, the Earth Federation was a latecomer during the One Year War when it came to development and production of its own mobile suits to counter the Principality of Zeon. Based on combat data from the RX-78-2 Gundam's "learning computer" system and experimental GM-type units such as the RGM-79[E], the Federation's first true mass-production unit was simply named the RGM-79 GM. Though the first GM units weren't available until UC November 0079, the Federation's material and manufacturing superiority allowed it to quickly catch up, fielding enough units in time to retake contested areas on Earth and to participate in the Federation's Operation Star One offensive on Zeon's space front.

The production-model GM was basically a simplified version of the original Gundam, eliminating some of the more complex and expensive features - such as the Core Block System and using normal titanium alloy armor instead of lunar titanium - to make it production faster and more economical. The GM only carried one beam saber instead of two, and had optional hand armaments of either a 100 mm machinegun or a short-range - but highly effective - beam spray gun. With the Federal Forces already on the offensive, the introduction of the GM units to the front lines assured the Federation's victory... and descendants of the GM line would continue to serve the Federation military for at least the next fifteen years.

Technical and Historical Notes

"The Federal Forces have built a mobile suit that powerful?!" - Denim

The third mobile suit developed under the Earth Federation's top-secret "Project V," the RX-78 Gundam series saw final assembly and rollout at the Side 7 colony under the supervision of engineer Lieutenant Tem Ray. Three prototypes were constructed, although only one unit, the RX-78-2, survived a Zeon attack on Side 7 when Project V was discovered by Zeon Lieutenant Commander Char Aznable. The RX-78-2, having been commandeered by Ray's young son Amuro, fended off the attack and was transferred to the assault carrier White Base. Amuro Ray would continue to serve as the Gundam's pilot for the remainder of the One Year War, being White Base's mobile front line of defense.

The Gundam was designed as a fast, close-combat mobile suit and was the first to feature several new technologies, including the energy cap-based beam rifle (making the Gundam the first mobile suit to pack the firepower of a battleship) and beam saber. Although designed with "high performance" in mind, the Gundam was simply outmatched by its own pilot: Amuro's emerging Newtype abilities would increasingly allow him to push the Gundam beyond its design limits. This had the often-annoying result of the Gundam's motors and joints getting burned-out or overloaded simply because it couldn't keep up with Amuro's reflexes. A later field upgrade which involved coating the joints with an electromagnetic solution, thus reducing the motors' and joints' friction, increased the Gundam's performance to a point where it could keep up with Amuro's reaction time. Another factor that contributed to the Gundam's success was its "learning computer" system, which allowed the mobile suit to "learn" from - and adapt to - the pilot's input. The data from the learning computer system would later be incorporated into the Federation's first mass-production model mobile suit, the RGM-79 GM.

The Gundam's service record - and that of Amuro Ray - would continually draw the attention of the Zeon forces - and particularly Char Aznable - until the end of the war... thus providing the distraction the Federation military needed to complete construction of its GM units at its Jaburo base on Earth. The Gundam was finally destroyed at the Battle of A Bao A Qu in a fight against Char Aznable, piloting the MSN-02 Zeong mobile suit, although Amuro survived. As fate would have it, of course, the Gundam itself would become the most famous mobile suit of the One Year War - even more famous than its young pilot, Amuro Ray, whose own abilities were the keys to the Gundam's performance, perhaps more so than the abilities of the Gundam itself.

Technical and Historical Notes

"Here we go, Hayato! Take the cannons' safeties off once we clear the ship!" - Ryu Jose

The first Earth Federation mobile suit developed under their top-secret "Project V", the RX-75 Guntank was hardly a mobile suit at all. Developed four years prior to the outbreak of the One Year War, the Guntank was nothing more than a fusion of a tank with the upper torso and arms of a mobile suit, and was originally intended to serve as an anti-MS unit when rumors of Zeon's first mobile suits reached the Federation. Despite this apparently faltering first step, the Guntank packed a serious punch as a heavy fire support and artillery unit. The Guntank was also somewhat unique in that its piloting and gunnery requirements were originally split up between two cockpits: a gunner's station in the head, and a standard cockpit in the torso. The Guntank, like its Project V brethren RX-77-2 Guncannon and RX-78-2 Gundam, featured the core block system, which allowed the Guntank's upper torso to be ejected to continue operating as a fixed gun emplacement while the torso pilot ejected the core block to keep fighting in a FF-X7 Core Fighter.

The first RX-75s were deployed for testing and trials at the Federation's research base on the Side 6 colony. However, only one unit - the RX-75-4 - survived an attack when Project V was discovered by Zeon forces in September UC 0079. This last unit was transferred to the assault carrier White Base, where it operated as a support/defensive unit until it was decommissioned at the Federation's Jaburo military headquarters in November UC 0079. During its service aboard White Base, the Guntank was upgraded so that one pilot could handle both piloting and gunnery functions from the head cockpit.

Technical and Historical Notes

"Guncannon, stand by for launch on Deck 2!" - Job John

The second of three mobile suit prototypes built under the Earth Federation's "Project V" during the One Year War, the RX-77-2 Guncannon was a step above the RX-75 Guntank in that it was a true mobile suit and not just a "mobile suit body on a tank." Like its brethren Guntank and RX-78-2 Gundam, the Guncannon used the same FF-X7 Core Fighter as an escape system for the pilot. Also like the Gundam, the Guncannon was one of the first mobile suits to use the energy cap-based beam rifle, as well as head-mounted vulcan guns for close range defense.

However, the Guncannon was designed as a mid-range fire support unit, and its primary armament was its shoulder-mounted 240 mm cannons. The main drawback to this was the cannons' limited ammunition supply, but an experienced pilot learned to use the ammo conservatively and effectively to stay in battle longer (as Guncannon pilot Kai Shiden had to learn the hard way).

Initially, only one RX-77-2 survived a Zeon attack on the Side 6 colony when Project V was uncovered, and this unit was transferred to the Federation assault carrier White Base, where it continued to serve until the end of the war. A second Guncannon unit was later pieced together and added to White Base's mobile suit complement, with the two units designated "C-108" and "C-109".

Hope that helps some. Oh and It's Heero, not Hero.

Great. MAHQ has been released.
This is my own interpretation
SYSTEMA-99 (WD-M01) Turn-A Gundam
The SYSTEM A-99 or WD-M01 Turn A Gundam was an ancient relic of CC 2345. During this time, Earth totally nosedived technology-wise. In other words, Earth was more like the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Turn-A was discovered after the Moonrace (colony people) attacked Earth in order to take it over. (wow, so original) On the attack, the Earth forces discovered that the Turn-A was an active suit after it fired on its own. Unlike the other Gundams which use the Minovsky Particle Drive Systems, this Gundam uses an I-field Generator, which keeps the chest hollow for the silos. Thsi I-field generator also keeps the joints intact making the Gundam manuever quickly without the use of gears and sprockets for joints. It uses a magnetic drive to keep its arms and legs from falling off. This Gundam also has the Core Block System first used by the orignal RX-78-2 Gundam.
Even though it has the standard beam sabers and beam rifle, these weapons are like "bleh" compared to its ultimate attack: the Moonlight Butterfly. I can tell you that this attack is composed of nanomachines that turns technology into dust.........and I mean dust as in sand particles. That's how far I can tell you because the rest are spoilers

Evolution of the MSZ-010 ZZ (Double Zeta)

As the war rages during 0088, AEUG (Anti Earth Union Group) forces were battered with Zeonic forces. As more and more MS make it out fresh, the Zeta is losing every battle. (There's proof after its head got blown off)
Using technologies from the Zeta Gundam, Anaheim Electronics were able to make ZZ or "Double Zeta" With the bio-sensor, Anaheim were also able to bring back the Core Block System first used on the original RX-78 Gundam, making it capable to transform into the G-Fortress. The G-Fortress can also separate making the "Core Top" and "Core Base"
Weaponry was mostly beam weaponry and a high-output reactor to power them. (That's the reason why the ZZ is jacked up). In addition to the hyper beam sabers and a large twin barreled rifle, ZZ was also equipped with the Hyper Mega Cannon. Firing the cannon drains ZZ power supply resulting a limited time on the battlefield. Despite the huge reactor output, ZZ can only stay out for a short while until the reactor recharges.

MSZ-010S Enhanced ZZ
With high power and performance, ZZ was one of the best MS of that time, but there was one critical flaw: the complicated construction and transformation systems made the MS structurally weak. During the last days of the Neo Zeon wars, a full armor option (I'll get into that later) was being planned, yet there had to be some minor improvements before it can be added on. These minor improvements were added to the weapons, armor and mobility. It featured a larger backpack adding 4 more rocket boosters and additional verniers. The original 21-tube missile launcher was replaced by a pair of 18-tube launchers each tube carrying reloads. Now it's ready for the Full Armor option.

FA-010S Full Armor Double Zeta
Full Armor Double Zeta was the peak point of the Gundam's evolution, despite its huge size. Sporting many missile launchers as well as the hyper mega cannon in the torso. The only drawback to the Gundam was that the armor was fixed into the MS, thus making ZZ unable to transform to its G-Fortress mode. The only way it could transform is that it has to eject the extra armor and weaponry.
