The RX-78-01[N] Gundam Local Type (RX-78-01[N] 局地型ガンダム?), is a Mobile Suit appearing in Mobile Suit Discovery.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
With a height of 18.0m [1], the RX-78-01[N] Gundam Local Type features a red visor for dust and flash protection covering the head camera. Unnecessary space-use equipment is removed in favor of a backpack with built-in hydrojets for underwater combat. Sealing treatment and waterproofing are applied to each joint part.
History
The very same machine that was the original Gundam Local Type was given a new color scheme and equipped with underwater equipment for offshore testing. It would contribute to the development of the RAG-79 Aqua GM, the RAG-79-G1 Gundam Marine Type and the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type [2].
