RX-78-2 Gundam

RX-78-2 Gundam is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam television series. Part of the RX-78 Gundam series, it was built in secret on Side 7. The Gundam would turn the tide of war in favor of the Earth Federation during the One Year War against the Principality of Zeon. It was primarily piloted by Amuro Ray.

The Gundam was incredibly advanced for its time. Built from lightweight Luna Titanium Alloy, its frame was both lighter than that of Zeon's mass-produced mobile suits and much sturdier, able to shrug off a MS-06 Zaku II's machine gun fire with little to no damage. Its offensive power was above and beyond that of the Zakus. The Gundam would engage in most battles with its beam rifle, making it the first mobile suit to have firepower equivalent to a battleship's beam cannons. In addition, it made use of two beam sabers, blades of extremely hot plasma which could cut through any metal with ease. Those beam sabers could be extended into a spear-like beam javelin, which could be used to stab into an enemy from a longer distance.

Gundam base original special marking sticker is attached. Pursuing "beautiful poses" and "movability and proportions". Equipped with many gimmicks that enable you to create natural poses.

A design that re-examined the design of First Gundam and pursued it to the limit as "BEYOND GLOBAL".

We adopt forward bending movable, swing movable structure for the fuselage. The neck is also movable back and forth. A joint that bends inward is added to the base of the thigh to realize a pose closer to humans.

By moving the wrist independently, it is possible to move the jointed shield freely. The wrist block can be moved as a separate part with a ball joint, and it is possible to produce powerful movements such as grasping the fist

The hip joint axis swings and moves greatly forward. Furthermore, it is possible to move it backward by expanding the rear skirt greatly.

The block on the side of the chest is responsible for the movement of the part corresponding to the scapula, and it is designed so that the movable axis of the shoulder is not exposed by the movement that opens outward.
