FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam

FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Discovery. After completing development on the RX-78-01 [FSD] Gundam FSD, two projects were undertaken by the Earth Federation Forces. One was the full mass-production of RX-numbered machines, the other was the expanded weapon system FSWS (Full-armour System and Weapon System) plan. 

The FSWS plan was to strengthen the RX-78 by increasing armor and weapons, and several fuselage design proposals were considered.The FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam type was outfitted with external armor and weapons upon the fuselage, while the FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam itself was a heavy duty armor fuselage. It achieved improvements in armor, firepower, and maneuverability.
