MG RGM-79 GM Ver. 2.0

The RGM-79 GM was the first mass-production Mobile suit created by the Earth Federation. This MS used data gathered from the RX-78-2 Gundam and the RGM-79[E] GM Early Type as the basis for its design. The RGM-79 GM proved pivotal for the Federation’s victory during the One Year War, so much so that the GM and its later variants would be the primary Federation MS Force until UC0089 when Anaheim Electronics created the RGM-89 Jegan for the Earth Federation.

Included alongside the MG RGM-79 GM 2.0 for accessories:

• BR-M-79C-1 Beam Spray Gun
• BLASH HB-L-03/N-STD Hyper Bazooka
• FADEGEL RGM-M-Sh-003 Shield
• THI BSjG01 Beam Saber
• 1/100 Federation Pilot Figure
• Alternate Skirt Armor

Articulation – 

The MG RGM-79 GM borrows most of its internal construction from the MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 2.0, providing a complete inner frame loaded with mechanical detail. The model utilizes double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The MG RGM-79 GM features a removable cockpit and functioning hatches on its torso to reveal the 1/100 Federation Pilot Figure seated inside! Bandai included two options for the Mobile Suit’s front skirt armor.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The RGM-79 GM includes the BR-M-79C-1 Beam Spray Gun as its primary weapon. This weapon features a slightly lower output than the RX-78-2’s Beam Rifle but features two additional firing modes. The RGM-79 GM also includes the mass production version of the Hyper Bazooka used by the RX-78-2. The Federation also developed the RGM-79 GM’s Shield based on the prototype Shield tested by the RX-78-2, serving alongside the GM and its later iterations well after the Grypps War. The RGM-79 includes a single Beam Saber attached to its backpack, with an extra hilt and Beam Effect listed as unused parts!
