RGC-80 GM Cannon

RGC-80 GM Cannon (RGC-80 ジム・キャノン) is a mass-produced artillery mobile suit and a variant of the RGM-79 GM. It is featured in the original design series Mobile Suit Variations and in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin MSD.

With the failure of the RGC-80 Prototype GM Cannon, the Earth Federation designers took the gathered data and developed the RGC-80 GM Cannon, correcting the problems encountered in the predecessor model. Put into production in late UC 0079, the topweight balance and recoil problems suffered by the Test Type were addressed by mounting only one 240mm cannon and adding heavier armor to the hip skirt as well as the legs. The GM Cannon still possesses 60% parts commonality with the RGM-79 GM and could carry the same hand weapons and shields as its general-purpose sibling.
