History
During the One Year War, the appearance of Gundam-type mobile suits, particularly the RX-78-2 Gundam, was an effective psychological weapon against Zeon forces. These specialized GMs were deployed during Federation's final assault at Zeon's space fortress A Baoa Qu, and meant to intimidate Zeon forces with their apperance.
