RGM-79 Powered GM

RGM-79 Powered GM (RGM-79 パワード・ジム) is a test use mobile suit introduced in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Known pilots include Dick Allen. RGM-79 Powered GM was a testbed unit developed for the Gundam Development Project.

Based on the RGM-79C GM Type C, it was equipped with an early development version of the RX-78GP01 Gundam GP01 "Zephyranthes"'s large backpack, as well as a pair of new model shock absorber units with integrated auxiliary power on its knees. Thanks to these modifications, its thrust was increased by 30%.

Due to being a testbed unit, it was not given a new model number. Since the units assigned to Torrington Base were destroyed and the Gundam Development Project was later erased from Federation records, the details of its modifications and its specifications were all lost.

In addition to the backpack and shock absorber unit, each characteristic part such as chest armor, front armor, rear armor, leg armor, and ankle armor is reproduced with new modeling. Detail parts such as ducts and injection nozzles placed on each armor based on orange are reproduced in molding color.

The backpack is reproduced in a realistic shape based on the settings, such as the thrusters and injection nozzles in multiple places that characterize the aircraft with increased thrust, and the base with the tank built in. Rivet marks that produce fine details are also reproduced with a mold. A varnish tube is used for the energy cable behind the knee.

A hyper bazooka, a 90mm machine gun and many other weapons are included, allowing for a variety of action poses. In addition to numbering, caution marks, military marks, and water transfer decals that include the unit chapter marks belonging to the Torrington base are also included.
