During the war zeon intercepts info of the federation developing their own mobile suits at the space colony side 7, apon entering the colony two of the three zeon soldiers begin destroying the federations unassembled parts until one of them comes across a transport trailer.

On that trailer is a complete unit that after being activated by amuro ray begins moving and attacks the two zakus destroying one with its beam saber

That machine was the federations prototype close combat mobile suit, the RX-78-2 gundam




Really wanted to draw the original gundam after watching the final episode of the most recent series Gquuuuuux won't spoil what happens but watch the series it was definitely a ride
