==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
The RGM-79 Powered GM is a [[RGM-79C GM Type C]] that has been modified with advanced parts in order to test their functionality for use in future advanced mobile suits. Many of its new components are used in the form of a backpack system that incorporates a more powerful Minovsky-type ultracompact fusion reactor and more powerful thrusters. This new equipment granted the Powered GM significantly greater mobility. Its leaping height and speed greatly surpassed that of the [[MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type]], and it has greater mobility when in midair. Because of the stress the mobile suit's legs receives when landing from such heights, heights greater than the GM Kai was originally intended to go, the Powered GM was outfitted with new shock absorbers in the knees.

;*60mm Vulcan Gun
:A standard armament of the mobile suits that are descended from the Earth Federation Forces's RX series is a pair of head mounted 60mm vulcan guns. These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but have little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. The weapons are ideal for shooting down small, fast moving, lightly armored targets such as missiles, small land vehicles, and attack helicopters.

This weapon is capable of cutting through any metal that has not been treated with anti-beam coating. The RGM-79C Powered GM is equipped with a single beam saber stored in a recharge rack in the left side of the backpack.

;*HWF GMG·MG79-90mm Bullpup Machine Gun

:The bullpup machine gun was a system weapon developed as a Space/Ground dual use projectile weapon. Though compact, it has sufficient anti-MS firepower while maintaining accuracy. Its muzzle velocity is increased due to the use of new gunpowder and this enables it to easily penetrate the armor of Zeon's mobile suit. A box-like sensor system incorporating a video camera and laser sensor is installed at the top, and when this system is used alongside the GM's targeting system, target acquisition capability is enhanced.
:The bullpup machine gun is an open-bolt, gas-operated, magazine-fed, mobile suit handheld sub-machine gun. It does not require energy to be used, however it is ineffective against heavy armor. When the magazine is empty, it can be discarded and replaced with a new one.

  +
:A portable, mobile suit-use 90mm rifle built based on the 'system weapon' structure, its effective range and accuracy is superior to the HWF GMG·MG79-90mm machine gun. With the extended barrel, the GM Rifle sees a 15% increase in muzzle velocity, leading to increased armor penetration capability. Additionally, a newly developed caseless cartridge allows for a lightened ammunition load.
:The GM Rifle is a simple shell-firing machine gun that is based on older technologies, it has no where near the power of a beam rifle, but it is a weapon that can be cheaply produced and easily maintained. It features different barrel, sensor unit, stock and magazine configurations that allows for different ballistic and handling properties.

:An improved model of the HB-L-03/N-STD Hyper Bazooka with added targeting sensors, increasing its accuracy. The magazine has also been changed to be completely sealed/air tight, and this not only makes exchanging magazine easier, but also protects against debris intrusion, accidental explosion due to being hit, etc. Additionally, no special attention needs to be paid to the weapon during operation as the rigidity of the rib section connecting the carrying handle to the bazooka's rear has been enhanced.
:Technically a large rocket launcher it could fire several 360mm missiles to attack targets at long range. No mass-production MS's armor is able to stop this weapon. While very powerful, it has a slow rate of fire and a fairly little amount of ammunition. Most oftenly used to take out slow, heavily armored targets.

;*FADEGEL RGM-M-Sh-007 Shield
  +
:An improved model of the RGM-M-Sh-003. It has the exact same size as its predecessor, but its material was changed to Titanium-Ceramic composite. Its mount latch was made movable, allowing the shield to be positioned up or down when carried by a Mobile Suit manipulator or mounted on the forearm, increasing its usability.
:Shields are simple in their design, being essentially thick slabs of metal that the equipped mobile suit can use to absorb the impact from attacks that, for whatever reason, cannot be dodged. However shields can only withstand so much pressure before becoming damaged themselves. As technology progressed it became necessary for shields to be treated with an anti-beam coating as a measure of defense against beam weapons which can normally penetrate any physical barrier, however the coating gets gradually burned away each time a beam strikes it until it is rendered useless. Powered GM could optionally mount a shield on either of its forearms.

==History==
The RGM-79 Powered GM was built in the year U.C. 0083 and at least two units were known to exist and stationed at Federation's [[Torrington Base]] in Australia where one of them was assigned to test pilot [[Dick Allen]]. The Powered GM would be tested in mock battles against multiple [[MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type]] for data gathering purposes, typically ending in victory without Allen having pushed the machine to its limits. On October 13 U.C. 0083, the Torrington Base was attacked by members of the [[Delaz Fleet]]. Both Powered GMs would be sortied against the enemy mobile suits, with Allen's unit was assigned as a member of one of the teams to pursue the stolen [[RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis"|Gundam GP02]]. However, Allen's Powered GM was ambushed and destroyed by [[Adamski]]'s [[MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen|Dom Tropen]]. Another damaged Powered GM was seen at the devastated Torrington Base. After the raid, the test data of the Powered GMs were mostly lost.

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The RGM-79 Powered GM is a test use mobile suit that first appeared in the OVA series/compilation movie Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Known pilots include Dick Allen.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The RGM-79 Powered GM is a RGM-79C GM Type C modified with advanced parts to test their functionality for use in future mobile suits. Many of its new components are in the form of a backpack system that incorporates a more powerful reactor and more powerful thrusters, granting the Powered GM significantly greater mobility. Its leaping height and speed greatly surpassed that of the MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type. Because of the stress the mobile suit's legs receives when landing from such heights, which is more than what the original GM Type C can achieve, the Powered GM has new shock absorbers in the knees.

The Powered GM is equipped with a single beam saber stored in the left side of the backpack.

History

The RGM-79 Powered GM was built in U.C. 0083 and at least two units were known to exist and stationed at Federation's Torrington Base in Australia, where one of them was assigned to test pilot Dick Allen. The Powered GM was deployed in mock battles against multiple MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type for data gathering purposes, typically ending in victory without Allen having pushed the machine to its limits. On October 13 U.C. 0083, the Torrington Base was attacked by members of the Delaz Fleet. Both Powered GMs sortied against the enemy mobile suits, with Allen's unit assigned to one of the teams pursuing the stolen RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis". However, Allen's Powered GM was ambushed and destroyed by Adamski's MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen. Another damaged Powered GM was seen at the devastated Torrington Base.

Notes and Trivia

  • Despite being a direct upgrade of the RGM-79C GM Type C, the Powered GM's model number is "RGM-79", the same as the original RGM-79 GM. This is due to its status as a test unit, which did not receive an official model number.
