MG RX-77-2 Guncannon

The RX-77-2 Guncannon is an Earth Federation Mobile Suit developed alongside the RX-78-2 Gundam for Operation V, a top-secret Mobile Suit development program that began during the One Year War. The Federation sought to create a series of combat-ready Mobile Suits to combat the Principality of Zeon’s growing forces. The Earth Federation developed the Guncannon to support the RX-78-2 Gundam from medium ranges, equipping the Mobile Suit with a pair of massive hardpoints on its shoulders that can mount an assortment of weapons. The Guncannon can wield The RX-77-2 Guncannon also features a Core Block System, enabling pilots to eject from the Mobile Suit in dire situations. The RX-77-2 Guncannon was so effective in its specific role that the Federation would begin a limited production run of the Mobile Suit and a later mass production variant.
