RX-80PR Pale Rider

RX-80PR Pale Rider is a prototype mobile suit featured in the videogame Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link and Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link (Manga). 

Following its successful mass production of mobile suits, the Earth Federation Forces began working on various modification plans as well as next-generation units. One of the machines created was a prototype, next-generation unit given the model number of 'RX-80'. This machine incorporated the latest technologies introduced during the One Year War, resulting in high performance and adaptability to a wide range of equipment. However, its development costs were high, dooming any possibility of mass production and seemingly consigning it to being a data collection unit.

The RX-80 was later acquired by a mysterious official named Grave, who wanted a high-performance machine for the special "HADES (Hyper Animosity Detect Estimate System)" based on the EXAM System. With the HADES' core unit installed in its head, the mobile suit was given the code name "Pale Rider", derived from the name of the fourth and final horseman of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The name also has a second meaning: since the HADES forcefully takes control of the mobile suit when activated, with the pilot serving as little more than a biological component, the mobile suit controls the pilot, rather than the other way around. Hence the mobile suit was the "Rider", rather than the horse.

While the Pale Rider is a powerful machine, this came at the cost of shorter operating time. It served as the core mobile suit of Grave's "Pale Rider Project" and was deployed on various black-ops missions.
