Editing Mobile Suit Gundam (section)

===Universal Century===
*'''RX-78-2:''' The OG Gundam, the mascot and namesake of this series. While future mobile suits have way better stats and way cooler looks, few can ever be as iconic as the Grand-daddy of them all, least of all to the point where [[/tg/ gets shit done|Japan built a literal walking statue in Yokohama that's size-accurate]]. Being used by the protagonist Amuro Ray, it's got a lot of OP crap when compared to stuff like Zakus with stuff like armor that's immune to conventional MS firearms, [[Lightsaber|beam swords that are super portable]], and plasma firearms when the standard up until this point was conventional SP guns and superheated melee weapons.
*'''GM:''' It's pronounced "Jim", if anyone asks. The closest thing to a mass-production Mobile Suit for the Federation during the original show, making it about on par with the Zaku, but better by equipping some of the Gundam's beam weaponry. Also like the Zaku, there are many, many variations of it.
*'''Zaku:''' ''The'' OG Mobile Suit, the Zaku hails from the Universal Century and is the first Mobile Suit we are ever introduced to in Gundam as a meta-series. The initial base model Mobile Suit used by Zeon's forces, the Zaku is the most basic-bitch Mobile Suit you can imagine, with its famous cyclopean design simultaneously making it memorable and also showcasing how primitive it is, though examples like main antagonist Char Aznable's Zaku being [[meme|being three times faster]] [[Colorz|simply because it's painted red]] can prove how dangerous it can be. Also noteworthy as the foundation of one of Gundam's earliest memes, starting from when Amuro Ray fights his first "higher ranked" Mobile Suited opponent, who gets a close up shot as he triumphantly screams about how "This is no Zaku, boy! NO ZAKU!" whilst he temporarily has the upper hand over the rookie. Every series past the first one tends to have an expy of sorts of this suit, sometimes even referencing its model number (MS-06), with the exception being SEED/Destiny (instead, they straight up copied tons of UC designs into the verse, turning their names into acronyms).
*'''RX-178 Gundam Mk-II:''' An improved model of the RX-78, the Mk II has a reputation in-universe as a loser, already obsolete at the start of Zeta and swiftly outclassed by newer and better models of Gundam.  Late-war had to be docked with a support system brought by the G-Defenser, which added mobility and a larger beam cannon, but it was STILL outclassed by opposing suits.
*'''MSZ-006 Z-Gundam (aka ZETA)''': The AEUG's high-performance front-line MS, was capable of transforming into a jet-like Waverider mode. Though it was designed by a Newtype, it did NOT feature anything that took advantage of this, which increasingly became an issue late into the war once it started to face Newtype and Pseudo-Newtype piloted suits.  Was finally installed a "bio-computer", an experimental tech that no one really knew WHAT did, but eventually showed that it could turn psychic emanations into motive force. It came back for ZZ Gundam, with the added "bonus" of it gaining semi-sentience due to its previous pilot being such a powerful psychic.
*'''MSN-10 ZZ-Gundam (aka Double Zeta)''': Heavy front-line suit and successor to the Zeta, the ZZ features a lot of things that only make sense in a "hey wouldn't this look cool on a model kit" kind of way.  It was armed with a fsk-huge particle cannon on its head, a twin-linked beam cannon on one arm, and could transform into a single jet-like form OR split apart into 3 pieces that could be piloted or controlled remotely.  Also comes with the Biosensor from Zeta, which allows it to do some of the psychic BS despite (again) not being a Newtype=specific suit.
*'''RX-93 ν Gundam (aka Nu Gundam):''' Amuro Ray's Gundam in the kickass movie ''Char's Counterattack'', this slick Gundam is big, fast, and hits hard from multiple directions thanks to its unique Fin Funnel beam weapon array.
**'''RX-93-2 Hi-ν Gundam:''' The print version of the abovementioned machine, appearing in the CCA novelization ''Beltochika's Children'', and usually appears as an upgrade from the regular Nu in video games.  Has two versions: the original, chunkier purple-gradient painted version, and a more streamlined blue and white redesign done to rationalize model-making. 
*'''MSN-04 Sazabi:''' Piloted by Char Aznable and built from the ground up to try and be the best suit the Neo-Zeon dictator could dream of, where the ν Gundam was fairly slim looking the Sazabi was thicc and had its own suite of semi-hidden weapons like a beam cannon in it's belly (near where a cockpit typically would be found).
**'''MSN-04 Nightingale''': Char's ride in the CCA novel ''Beltochika's Children'', it's essentially an upgraded Sazabi that is much chunkier due to it being more like a Mobile Armor than a conventional suit.
*'''RX-0 Unicorn Gundam:''' Another iconic Gundam with plenty of marketability if you look at how much damn merch is available of it. Its basic look is pretty standard, looking like a plain white Gundam with a horn on the head, but once it transforms into its "Destroy Mode", it becomes way more mobile and way deadlier via direct interfacing with certain pilots with a unique mental signature.
