RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex"

RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" (RX-78NT-1 ガンダム「アレックス」 RX-78NT-1 Gandamu Arekkusu?) is a mobile suit featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket OVA and it is piloted by Christina Mackenzie.

The RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" was developed by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War as a mobile suit specifically for Newtypes. Its intended pilot was Amuro Ray, an ace pilot who has been displaying Newtype powers in battle and as a result was overworking his RX-78-2 Gundam. In fact, Amuro's data was utilized during the machine's development. As the Earth Federation Forces did not have the same level of Newtype research as the Principality of Zeon, the Alex did not have any Psycommu controlled remote weaponry. Instead, it was designed to be highly maneuverable, mobile and responsive, taking advantage of a Newtype's superb reaction speed and reflexes. Test pilot Christina MacKenzie (an Oldtype) noted that the machine was incredibly powerful, almost to the point that it was out of control.

To be more responsive to its pilot, the Alex utilized the brand new panoramic monitor/linear floating seat combination, and the Magnet Coating pioneered by the RX-78-3 "G-3" Gundam. The panoramic monitor provided increased visibility and reduced pilot stress. The linear floating seat not only better protects the pilot against G-forces and impact shocks, but also complements the panoramic monitor as it is suspended in the cockpit, enhancing the pilot's field of view. The Magnet Coating improves the machine's reaction speed by three times when compared to conventional mobile suit without this coating. To make the Alex highly maneuverable and mobile, its propulsion power is enhanced with the backpack thrusters being enlarged, as well as various thrusters being placed throughout its body. The Alex's generator output is also improved.

Additionally, the Alex can be outfitted with a new set of optional armor known as the Chobam Armor, turning into the Full Armor Alex for better defensive power. This armor however increase the Alex's total weight to a shocking 95 tons, hampering its maneuverability and mobility to a certain degree, although measures were taken to reduce these negative impacts. The "U.N.T.SPACY" markings on various parts of the Alex represent a top-secret plan of the Earth Federation Forces and stand for Under Normal Tactics S Pecial Assortment Construction Yard. Lastly, the name "Alex" is a word play on the "RX" code for the Gundam series and also an acronym for "Armored Layers EXperimental".
