The RX-78 mobile suit series is a series of fictional testbed mobile suits in the Gundam Universal Century developed by the Earth Federation. The titular mobile suit of the series, the RX-78-2 Gundam, is a member of this series. There are two major subsets of mobile suits within this series: *Those developed under the Project V plan, and *Those developed under the Gundam Development Project. ==History== The deployment of the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits, the MS-05 Zaku I and the MS-06 Zaku II, in the One Year War had given the small nation a major tactical edge over the much larger Earth Federation. Capable of propellent-less manuvering thanks to their AMBAC systems, and able to be retrofitted to suit a variety of missions and environments, they easily outclassed the Federation's arsenal of fighters and ground vehicles. Realizing that the gap needed to be closed, the Federation instituted Project V (the Vinson Plan in the English translation), a development program that would produce a Federation mobile suit design that would be able to be mass produced. While the ultimate result of the program was the RGM-79 GM, the engineers in the project tested several design concepts for the mass-production units in the RX-78 series. Some of the developments in the RX-78 models were later incorporated into the GM line, but many were scrapped due to cost and/or complexity. An official saying is that only 8 RX-78 is produced during the One Year War and this should not be confused with RX-78-1~8. The last number is associated with the model number instead of the number of units. Since there were 8 variation of RX-78s thus having RX-78-1~8. However, the 8 units are continuously reused to remodel and therefore creating a misunderstanding that there are a lot of RX-78 units produced. However, the EFAF(Air Force) created their own RX-78E (GT FOUR/Gundam Transformer/Flight & Operations Unifications Reactors) and is different from the 8 RX-78s produced. Another extra unit is the RX-78XX which uses scrap parts of the RX-78s are also not considered to be one of the 8 units. Be notified that the NT-1 is actually RX-78 unit 4 remodeled(original model unknown). After the One Year War, the GP series is numbered after RX-78 but of course are newly produced units. The RX-78 series introduced Minovsky Physics weaponry to mobile suits, developing and deploying the first successful beam rifle and beam saber. These would form the primary component of mobile suit weaponry for at least the next century and a half. The core block system, which allowed the RX-78's pilot to escape the destruction of his mobile suit in a functional aerospace fighter, would be dropped for expense from subsequent units but reused on occasion (most notably in the Anaheim Electronics MSZ-010 Double Zeta Gundam during the Double Zeta Gundam) and resurrected by the League Militaire in the UC 0150s on the LM312V04 Victory Gundam. After the cessation of the One Year War, the Federation opened up a black-ops mobile suit development program, the Gundam Development Project, in order to develop mobile suits to fill roles that had appeared in analysis of combat operations from the One Year War. The major reason that the project was designated black-op was because of the '''RX-78GP02A Gundam ''Physalis'', which was armed with an atomic bazooka in violation of the Antarctic Treaty of Mobile Suit Gundam. After the events of Gundam 0083, the records of the Gundam Development Project were stricken from the official record. The RX-78 line was finally superseded in UC 0087 by the RX-178 Gundam Mark II developed by the Titans. ==Project V models== ===RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam=== The RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam is the third Mobile Suit Series produced under the Project V, developed and test in the utmost secrecy at the incomplete Side 7 colony. Unlike the other two mobile suits, the RX-77-2 Guncannon and the RX-75-4 Guntank, which emphasis on firepower, the Prototype Gundam was designed as melee mobile suit, with a very high mobility. It was also the first to feature several new technologies, including the energy cap-based beam rifle (making the Gundam the first mobile suit to pack the firepower of a battleship) and beam saber. Once the RX-78-1 was tested, designs were upgraded and enhanced, bringing along the RX-78-2 Gundam. All the RX-78-1 models were thus upgraded into the newly improved RX-78-2 model.

===RX-78-2 Gundam=== The most famous of all the RX-78 models, the RX-78-2 Gundam''' was built as the second stage (test type) for the RX-78 series. Like the two other RX-78, the RX-78-1 and RX-78-3, it carried the Core Block modular mobile suit design, comprised of three modules: *the Core Fighter, which formed the cockpit and torso; *the A block, which consisted of the upper torso, arms, and head; and *the B block, which consisted of the hips and legs. The idea was that the Core Fighter could be launched into the field as a support fighter, and the A and B blocks could be delivered by another vehicle (the Federation developed a support unit, the Gunperry, for this role) if needed for a mid-air conversion into a mobile suit. The 3 RX-78 were slated in September UC 0079 to be transported from the development facility at Side 7 for evaluation when Zeon special forces under the command of Char Aznable attacked the colony where the RX-78-2 was developed. The resulting destruction left both the RX-78-2 and the mobile suit carrier ''White Base'' in the hands of young, inexperienced operators, most notably the young Amuro Ray, who became the RX-78-2's main pilot due to his skill at handling the machine. The RX-78-2 then saw combat in a variety of environments, including deep space, urban settings, the desert, and even the ocean, performing admirably in each. After the RX-78-2 Gundam was seen as a success, the Federation sold off the designs to other Federation mobile suit makers. Because of this many versions would be seen, such as the Blue Destiny Units, the FA-78-1 Gundam Full Armor Type and the improved FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam, the RX-78NT-1 Gundam ''Alex'', and the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type. Late in the war, the Federation installed a magnetic coating on the joints of the RX-78-2, improving the response time of the mobile suit (which was starting to lag behind the reaction time of Amuro, whose budding Newtype powers were growing exponentially). In the final battle of the One Year War, the Battle of A Baoa Qu, the RX-78-2 was severely damaged, then destroyed by Char in his MSN-02 Zeong. Nevertheless, the RX-78-2 performed admirably throughout its service in the One Year War. The Gundam would serve as the Federation's prototype, high-performance mobile suit. Its lineage would extend on throughout the Universal Century. The basic Gundam design would reappeared countless times. The Gundam's linage is as follows: the RX-178 Gundam Mark II and its variation known as the RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam. The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam and its successor the MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam with its variations, the FA-010S Full Armor Enhanced ZZ Gundam and MSZ-010S Enhanced ZZ Gundam. The massive MRX-009 Psyco Gundam and its other massive successor, the MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II. The grand RX-93 Nu Gundam, which was piloted by famous the One Year War ace Newtype Amuro Ray. The F90 Gundam F90 and F91 Gundam F91. And lastly, the LM312V04 Victory Gundam and LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-3 Gundam Unit 3 "G3"=== During the attack on Side 7, in September UC 0079, two of the three RX-78-2 Gundam protoype mobile suits were destroyed. The destroyed parts made their way to the ''Pegasus''-Class assault cruiser ''White Base'', and then to the Earth Federation's General HQ in Jaburo. Once there, the parts were cobbled together and the RX-78-3 \"G3\" Gundam was born. The G3 Gundam became a testbed for the magnectic coating that was later applied to Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam. Visually, the G3 is very similar looking to the Gundam, except for its gray and blue paint scheme. In the novel version of Mobile Suit Gundam, the G3 became Amuro Ray's mobile suit in the later half of the war after his Gundam was destroyed in battle with Zeon Newtype Lalah Sune. It had the magnetic coating added to the joints to increase response time for its pilot. Other than the gray color scheme, it is identical to RX-78-2. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4=== Deployed to the 16th Autonomous Mobile Squadron and assigned to the Pegasus-class warship, the Thoroughbred, the RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4 was designed to be able to use a prototype mega beam launcher with destructive power equivalent to that of a capital ship. In order to power such a weapon, the RX-78-4 was outfitted with a heavier power plant than its sister unit, the RX-78-5. Like the RX-78-5, the RX-78-4 can be outfitted with a booster system which extends the operational range and time of the mobile suit in space operations. The RX-78-4 only used the mega beam launcher once, in order to stop a reinforcing fleet from Granada. Though the launcher was successful in destroying the fleet, the load it put on the RX-78-4's power plant was too much for the unit to bear, and resulted in the RX-78-4 taking severe damage and killing its pilot. This version of events has always been in dispute. During the final battles of the One Year War there were unconfimred accounts of the RX-78-4 showing up in battle. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-5 Gundam Unit 5=== Deployed to the 16th Autonomous Mobile Squadron and assigned to the Pegasus-class warship, the Thoroughbred, the RX-78-5 Gundam Unit 5 was designed for space combat. As such, the RX-78-5 was able to be outfitted with a booster system that extended its effective range and operating time. Due to its late introduction in the One Year War, the RX-78-5 saw little extended action - however, it was deployed to protect Zeon Prime Minister Darcia Bakharov from Zabi loyalists at the end of the war. As with the RX-7-4, an upgraded version of the RX-78-5 has also been reported to have been seen in the the final battles of the One Year War. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-6 Mudrock Gundam=== Perhaps the pinnacle of the Project V RX-78 units, the RX-78-6 Mudrock Gundam was a hybridization of the RX-78 series and the sister RX-77-2 Guncannon units. Like the Guncannon, the RX-78-6 mounted heavy weaponry as standard armament in the form of two 300 mm cannons. Like its sibling RX-78 units (and very much ''unlike'' the Guncannon), the RX-78-6 was extremely manuverable, courtesy of vernier thrusters incorporated in its design. On paper at least, the RX-78-6 was a beast of a machine, more than a match for any of the Zeon MS of the time - which is why the suit's failure to perform well in the field is rather shocking. Deployed in defense of the Pegasus-class mobile suit carrier ''Blanc Rival'' (albeit in an uncompleted form), it was severely damaged by the Zeon Midnight Fenrir special operations team. Hurriedly repaired and completed, it saw service at California Base, and in an attempt to prevent Midnight Fenrir from using an heavy lift vehicle to leave Earth near the end of the One Year War - that battle left the RX-78-6 severely damaged, and the Federation determined that it was not feasible to repair the unit.

===RX-78NT1 Gundam 'Alex'=== Initially, the Federation was rather skeptical about the existence of Newtypes, having none of their own to evaluate (as opposed to Zeon, which had set up the Flannigan Institute for Newtype research.) However, the performance of Amuro Ray in the RX-78-2 clearly illustrated the battle effectiveness of Newtype pilots to the Federation. Realizing that such pilots would need a mobile suit optimized for them, the Federation developed the '''RX-78NT1 Gundam 'Alex'''' by remodeling a RX-78 unit 4(model unknown) as their 'ace in the hole' at the end of the One Year War. The Federation planned to test the RX-78NT1 at Space Colony (Gundam), then ship it to the ''White Base'' for Amuro to pilot in the Battle of A Baoa Qu. However, the actions of the Zeon Cyclops covert operations unit resulted in the RX-78NT1 being severely damaged prior to the battle. As the Federation had not researched the extent of Newtype powers (such research would not become available until the acquisition of the Flannigan Institute by the Federation), the RX-78NT1 did not have any sort of psycommu control. Instead, the RX-78NT1 was optimized at every level for the vastly superior reaction time of Newtypes. Test pilot Christina Mackenzie (an Oldtype) noted that the machine was incredibly powerful, almost to the point that it was out of control. The other major innovation was that the RX-78NT1 was the first mobile suit to feature the panoramic cockpit and linear chair, affording the pilot a 360-degree view of the battlefield. The RX-78NT1 also featured the optional Chobham Armor, an external set of armor which improves the defense of the RX-78NT1 at the expense of reduced mobility. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

==Gundam Development Project models== :''Please see Gundam Development Project.'' ==RX-78XX Gundam Pixie== ''(from the video game Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079)'' A variant of RX-78 mobile suit series, the Gundam Pixie was a high performance close-combat groundforce mobile suit created by the Earth Federation Forces for use by their ace pilots during One Year War#Operation Odessa. Only a single Gundam Pixie was known to be constructed, and it was being stored at Albatros Base in the Gobi Desert in preparation to be transferred to the Pegasus-class assault carrier ''White Base'' for use at Odessa. When Principality of Zeon forces in the area commenced Operation Desert Dragon and attacked Albatros Base the Gundam Pixie was commandered by Captain Bork Cry of the Albatross transportation team to fight off the legions of Zeon mobile suits. The ultimate fate of the Gundam Pixie is uncertain. The unit may have been destroyed on the night of October 19th, UC 0079, engaged in a fierce battle against Captain Henry Boone, leader of Zeon's Wolfgar Team, piloting his MS-08TX Efreet, and the rest of the Wolfgar Team, which had successfully infiltrated Albatros Base. Major Nacht Gaddish, commander of the Albatros Base, fled in a Medea Transport Plane, abandoning Bork and the Gundam Pixie. In the end only one thing is certain: the Gundam Pixie never arrived on the ''White Base'' as planned. Universal Century mobile suits
So hows it looking now? User:Diablo-D3 09:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) I hate the new changes. The words are way to spread out in the system/armament listings. The pictures look odd and out of place for a lot, the most obvious being the Gundam Development Project mobile suits. In my opinion it looked better before your formatting changes. The only change I'd make is put the system/armament listings back to the way they were before your refit. User:User-Name 16:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) So, basically, move all the images right again?

RX-78 mobile suit series
The RX-78 mobile suit series is a series of fictional testbed mobile suits in the Gundam Universal Century developed by the Earth Federation. The titular mobile suit of the series, the RX-78-2 Gundam, is a member of this series. There are two major subsets of mobile suits within this series: *Those developed under the Project V plan, and *Those developed under the Gundam Development Project. ==History== The deployment of the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits, the MS-05 Zaku I and the MS-06 Zaku II, in the One Year War had given the small nation a major tactical edge over the much larger Earth Federation. Capable of propellent-less manuvering thanks to their AMBAC systems, and able to be retrofitted to suit a variety of missions and environments, they easily outclassed the Federation's arsenal of fighters and ground vehicles. Realizing that the gap needed to be closed, the Federation instituted Project V (the Vinson Plan in the English translation), a development program that would produce a Federation mobile suit design that would be able to be mass produced. While the ultimate result of the program was the RGM-79 GM, the engineers in the project tested several design concepts for the mass-production units in the RX-78 series. Some of the developments in the RX-78 models were later incorporated into the GM line, but many were scrapped due to cost and/or complexity. An official saying is that only 8 RX-78 is produced during the One Year War and this should not be confused with RX-78-1~8. The last number is associated with the model number instead of the number of units. Since there were 8 variation of RX-78s thus having RX-78-1~8. However, the 8 units are continuously reused to remodel and therefore creating a misunderstanding that there are a lot of RX-78 units produced. However, the EFAF(Air Force) created their own RX-78E (GT FOUR/Gundam Transformer/Flight & Operations Unifications Reactors) and is different from the 8 RX-78s produced. Another extra unit is the RX-78XX which uses scrap parts of the RX-78s are also not considered to be one of the 8 units. Be notified that the NT-1 is actually RX-78 unit 4 remodeled(original model unknown). After the One Year War, the GP series is numbered after RX-78 but of course are newly produced units. The RX-78 series introduced Minovsky Physics weaponry to mobile suits, developing and deploying the first successful beam rifle and beam saber. These would form the primary component of mobile suit weaponry for at least the next century and a half. The core block system, which allowed the RX-78's pilot to escape the destruction of his mobile suit in a functional aerospace fighter, would be dropped for expense from subsequent units but reused on occasion (most notably in the Anaheim Electronics MSZ-010 Double Zeta Gundam during the Double Zeta Gundam) and resurrected by the League Militaire in the UC 0150s on the LM312V04 Victory Gundam. After the cessation of the One Year War, the Federation opened up a black-ops mobile suit development program, the Gundam Development Project, in order to develop mobile suits to fill roles that had appeared in analysis of combat operations from the One Year War. The major reason that the project was designated black-op was because of the '''RX-78GP02A Gundam ''Physalis'', which was armed with an atomic bazooka in violation of the Antarctic Treaty of Mobile Suit Gundam. After the events of Gundam 0083, the records of the Gundam Development Project were stricken from the official record. The RX-78 line was finally superseded in UC 0087 by the RX-178 Gundam Mark II developed by the Titans. ==Project V models== ===RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam=== The RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam is the third Mobile Suit Series produced under the Project V, developed and test in the utmost secrecy at the incomplete Side 7 colony. Unlike the other two mobile suits, the RX-77-2 Guncannon and the RX-75-4 Guntank, which emphasis on firepower, the Prototype Gundam was designed as melee mobile suit, with a very high mobility. It was also the first to feature several new technologies, including the energy cap-based beam rifle (making the Gundam the first mobile suit to pack the firepower of a battleship) and beam saber. Once the RX-78-1 was tested, designs were upgraded and enhanced, bringing along the RX-78-2 Gundam. All the RX-78-1 models were thus upgraded into the newly improved RX-78-2 model.

===RX-78-2 Gundam=== The most famous of all the RX-78 models, the RX-78-2 Gundam''' was built as the second stage (test type) for the RX-78 series. Like the two other RX-78, the RX-78-1 and RX-78-3, it carried the Core Block modular mobile suit design, comprised of three modules: *the Core Fighter, which formed the cockpit and torso; *the A block, which consisted of the upper torso, arms, and head; and *the B block, which consisted of the hips and legs. The idea was that the Core Fighter could be launched into the field as a support fighter, and the A and B blocks could be delivered by another vehicle (the Federation developed a support unit, the Gunperry, for this role) if needed for a mid-air conversion into a mobile suit. The 3 RX-78 were slated in September UC 0079 to be transported from the development facility at Side 7 for evaluation when Zeon special forces under the command of Char Aznable attacked the colony where the RX-78-2 was developed. The resulting destruction left both the RX-78-2 and the mobile suit carrier ''White Base'' in the hands of young, inexperienced operators, most notably the young Amuro Ray, who became the RX-78-2's main pilot due to his skill at handling the machine. The RX-78-2 then saw combat in a variety of environments, including deep space, urban settings, the desert, and even the ocean, performing admirably in each. After the RX-78-2 Gundam was seen as a success, the Federation sold off the designs to other Federation mobile suit makers. Because of this many versions would be seen, such as the Blue Destiny Units, the FA-78-1 Gundam Full Armor Type and the improved FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam, the RX-78NT-1 Gundam ''Alex'', and the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type. Late in the war, the Federation installed a magnetic coating on the joints of the RX-78-2, improving the response time of the mobile suit (which was starting to lag behind the reaction time of Amuro, whose budding Newtype powers were growing exponentially). In the final battle of the One Year War, the Battle of A Baoa Qu, the RX-78-2 was severely damaged, then destroyed by Char in his MSN-02 Zeong. Nevertheless, the RX-78-2 performed admirably throughout its service in the One Year War. The Gundam would serve as the Federation's prototype, high-performance mobile suit. Its lineage would extend on throughout the Universal Century. The basic Gundam design would reappeared countless times. The Gundam's linage is as follows: the RX-178 Gundam Mark II and its variation known as the RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam. The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam and its successor the MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam with its variations, the FA-010S Full Armor Enhanced ZZ Gundam and MSZ-010S Enhanced ZZ Gundam. The massive MRX-009 Psyco Gundam and its other massive successor, the MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II. The grand RX-93 Nu Gundam, which was piloted by famous the One Year War ace Newtype Amuro Ray. The F90 Gundam F90 and F91 Gundam F91. And lastly, the LM312V04 Victory Gundam and LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

The destroyed parts made their way to the ''Pegasus''-Class assault cruiser ''White Base'', and then to the Earth Federation's General HQ in Jaburo. Once there, the parts were cobbled together and the RX-78-3 \"G3\" Gundam was born. The G3 Gundam became a testbed for the magnectic coating that was later applied to Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam. Visually, the G3 is very similar looking to the Gundam, except for its gray and blue paint scheme. In the novel version of Mobile Suit Gundam, the G3 became Amuro Ray's mobile suit in the later half of the war after his Gundam was destroyed in battle with Zeon Newtype Lalah Sune. It had the magnetic coating added to the joints to increase response time for its pilot. Other than the gray color scheme, it is identical to RX-78-2. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4=== Deployed to the 16th Autonomous Mobile Squadron and assigned to the Pegasus-class warship, the Thoroughbred, the RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4 was designed to be able to use a prototype mega beam launcher with destructive power equivalent to that of a capital ship. In order to power such a weapon, the RX-78-4 was outfitted with a heavier power plant than its sister unit, the RX-78-5. Like the RX-78-5, the RX-78-4 can be outfitted with a booster system which extends the operational range and time of the mobile suit in space operations. The RX-78-4 only used the mega beam launcher once, in order to stop a reinforcing fleet from Granada. Though the launcher was successful in destroying the fleet, the load it put on the RX-78-4's power plant was too much for the unit to bear, and resulted in the RX-78-4 taking severe damage and killing its pilot. This version of events has always been in dispute. During the final battles of the One Year War there were unconfimred accounts of the RX-78-4 showing up in battle. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

Due to its late introduction in the One Year War, the RX-78-5 saw little extended action - however, it was deployed to protect Zeon Prime Minister Darcia Bakharov from Zabi loyalists at the end of the war. As with the RX-7-4, an upgraded version of the RX-78-5 has also been reported to have been seen in the the final battles of the One Year War. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

===RX-78-6 Mudrock Gundam=== Perhaps the pinnacle of the Project V RX-78 units, the RX-78-6 Mudrock Gundam was a hybridization of the RX-78 series and the sister RX-77-2 Guncannon units. Like the Guncannon, the RX-78-6 mounted heavy weaponry as standard armament in the form of two 300 mm cannons. Like its sibling RX-78 units (and very much ''unlike'' the Guncannon), the RX-78-6 was extremely manuverable, courtesy of vernier thrusters incorporated in its design. On paper at least, the RX-78-6 was a beast of a machine, more than a match for any of the Zeon MS of the time - which is why the suit's failure to perform well in the field is rather shocking. Deployed in defense of the Pegasus-class mobile suit carrier ''Blanc Rival'' (albeit in an uncompleted form), it was severely damaged by the Zeon Midnight Fenrir special operations team. Hurriedly repaired and completed, it saw service at California Base, and in an attempt to prevent Midnight Fenrir from using an heavy lift vehicle to leave Earth near the end of the One Year War - that battle left the RX-78-6 severely damaged, and the Federation determined that it was not feasible to repair the unit.

===RX-78NT1 Gundam 'Alex'=== Initially, the Federation was rather skeptical about the existence of Newtypes, having none of their own to evaluate (as opposed to Zeon, which had set up the Flannigan Institute for Newtype research.) However, the performance of Amuro Ray in the RX-78-2 clearly illustrated the battle effectiveness of Newtype pilots to the Federation. Realizing that such pilots would need a mobile suit optimized for them, the Federation developed the '''RX-78NT1 Gundam 'Alex'''' by remodeling a RX-78 unit 4(model unknown) as their 'ace in the hole' at the end of the One Year War. The Federation planned to test the RX-78NT1 at Space Colony (Gundam), then ship it to the ''White Base'' for Amuro to pilot in the Battle of A Baoa Qu. However, the actions of the Zeon Cyclops covert operations unit resulted in the RX-78NT1 being severely damaged prior to the battle. As the Federation had not researched the extent of Newtype powers (such research would not become available until the acquisition of the Flannigan Institute by the Federation), the RX-78NT1 did not have any sort of psycommu control. Instead, the RX-78NT1 was optimized at every level for the vastly superior reaction time of Newtypes. Test pilot Christina Mackenzie (an Oldtype) noted that the machine was incredibly powerful, almost to the point that it was out of control. The other major innovation was that the RX-78NT1 was the first mobile suit to feature the panoramic cockpit and linear chair, affording the pilot a 360-degree view of the battlefield. The RX-78NT1 also featured the optional Chobham Armor, an external set of armor which improves the defense of the RX-78NT1 at the expense of reduced mobility. Manufacturer: Earth Federation

==Gundam Development Project models== :''Please see Gundam Development Project.'' ==RX-78XX Gundam Pixie== ''(from the video game Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079)'' A variant of RX-78 mobile suit series, the Gundam Pixie was a high performance close-combat groundforce mobile suit created by the Earth Federation Forces for use by their ace pilots during One Year War#Operation Odessa. Only a single Gundam Pixie was known to be constructed, and it was being stored at Albatros Base in the Gobi Desert in preparation to be transferred to the Pegasus-class assault carrier ''White Base'' for use at Odessa. When Principality of Zeon forces in the area commenced Operation Desert Dragon and attacked Albatros Base the Gundam Pixie was commandered by Captain Bork Cry of the Albatross transportation team to fight off the legions of Zeon mobile suits. The ultimate fate of the Gundam Pixie is uncertain. The unit may have been destroyed on the night of October 19th, UC 0079, engaged in a fierce battle against Captain Henry Boone, leader of Zeon's Wolfgar Team, piloting his MS-08TX Efreet, and the rest of the Wolfgar Team, which had successfully infiltrated Albatros Base. Major Nacht Gaddish, commander of the Albatros Base, fled in a Medea Transport Plane, abandoning Bork and the Gundam Pixie. In the end only one thing is certain: the Gundam Pixie never arrived on the ''White Base'' as planned. Universal Century mobile suits

So hows it looking now? User:Diablo-D3 09:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) I hate the new changes. The words are way to spread out in the system/armament listings. The pictures look odd and out of place for a lot, the most obvious being the Gundam Development Project mobile suits. In my opinion it looked better before your formatting changes. The only change I'd make is put the system/armament listings back to the way they were before your refit. User:User-Name 16:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) So, basically, move all the images right again? I'm going to be trying to fix the weirdness with the tables too, but I'm leaving them. User:Diablo-D3 05:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) Actucally I really just hate the tables. It looks very disorganized.
