Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The RGC-80 GM Cannon is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt.
Technology and Combat Characteristics
A mid-range support suit developed by the Earth Federation Forces. From its appearance and name, many might think that it is a cannon-type configuration of the RGM-79 GM (Thunderbolt Ver.), but it is actually a simplified mass production version of the RX-77 Guncannon (Thunderbolt Ver.). Like the GM (Thunderbolt Ver.), the GM Cannon (Thunderbolt Ver.) has added sensors on its head for better search capabilities in the debris-filled area and its joints are covered in special seals to protect them from the debris. The GM Cannon (Thunderbolt Ver.) has a large back with a cannon mounted on the right and a sub arm on the left. It also has added thrusters on its calves.
History
The GM Cannon was first seen when the Beehive was resupplied in preparation of the final battle in Side 4. Along with the FA-78 Full Armor Gundam (Thunderbolt Ver.), the Beehive received some RB-79 Ball (Thunderbolt Ver.), GM Cannons, student volunteer pilots and ammo. The GM Cannons were used mainly by the student volunteer pilots of the Moore Brotherhood and pilots of the Beehive. They were used in a diversion tactic (rather controversially) to outnumber the Living Dead Division's snipers and overwhelm them so the FA Gundam could conserve ammo to sink the main fleet.
Although the novice pilots were no match for the snipers, they took out a few snipers through sheer numbers anyway. They were engaged by Fisher Ness in his MS-09R Rick Dom (Thunderbolt Ver.) who took out at least one Ball and 3 GM Cannons. Although unknown to the pilot of a Guncannon (the last surviving member of the squadron), the Psycho Zaku had mopped up all of the MS deployed, and the GM Cannons were completely decimated.
Another few GM Cannons are seen in the battle in Zeon's main fleet and subsequently guarding the Dried Fish after it was captured by the Federation Forces.
