The name of the backpack
I edited the article to remove the "Landcell Unit" spelling. While that's a reasonable Romanization of the Japanese word (randoseru) it's not really accurate. It's just a Japanese word for "backpack". It's uncommon for the backpacks on Gundam kits to be referred to at least colloquially as "randoseru". (MG Char's Zaku v1.0 provides a somewhat rare example of this in its instruction manual.)

I replaced "Landcell" in the article with "Knapsack" - I think that's the best option here, as the original name just means "backpack" or "knapsack", and choosing a word other than "backpack" distinguishes it from all the other "backpacks" in Gundam as something resembling a backpack a human would wear. I also initially considered using the word "Ransel", which is the Dutch word for backpack (and the origin of the Japanese word "randoseru") but decided "knapsack" was a better choice as people will recognize that the name just means "backpack".
