Information: The Gundam was nearly destroyed on the
space colony when the Zeon were recklessly attacking.
Amuro Ray piloted the suit to save his life and took out
both of the two Zaku's. This is the Federation's most
advanced Mobile Suit as of yet. The Gundam's
Hyper Hammer is more accurate than the Gundam Hammer
because it has thrusters built into the end 'ball'.
The RX-78-2 Gundam paved the way for every
Gundam type mobile suit made in the future.
