The RX-78XX Gundam Pixy (ガンダムピクシー) is a prototype close-quarters combat mobile suit introduced in the video game Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079. One unit is piloted by Bork Cry, while another is piloted Fred Reber.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A variant of RX-78 series, the Gundam Pixy was a high performance close-combat ground force mobile suit created by the Earth Federation Forces for use by their ace pilots during Operation Odessa. The Gundam Pixy was significantly lighter than its RX-78 brethren, due to removing the core block system and thrusters for outer space, and as a consequence is faster and more agile. It also possessed enhanced apogee motors which allowed it to achieve burst thrust exceeding that of the RX-78-2. However, it is relatively lightly armed, with head vulcan guns, a conventional shell-firing submachine gun and a pair of small beam daggers.

Armaments[]

  • 60mm Vulcan Gun
Mounted in the head, these shell firing weapons have high-rate of fire but little power and can't damage the armor of a mobile suit, though they can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, attack vehicles, etc.
  • Beam Dagger
As this unit was designed with an emphasis on melee combat, it is equipped with proprietary beam dagger as its primary close combat weapons. The beam daggers can be used as throwing weapons, and are stored on the side skirt armor when not in use.
  • 90mm Submachine Gun
A mobile suit-use submachine 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 carried on the side of each forearm. When required, the Pixy can use another 90mm Submachine Gun for increased firepower.
  • 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 Pixy's targeting system, target acquisition capability is enhanced.
  • BOWA BG-M-79F-3A Beam Gun
Equipped by Lilith Aiden's customized unit, this is the same beam firearm as used by the RGM-79GS GM Command Space Type. A next-generation beam weapon developed as a testbed for a new category of weapon between the Beam Rifle and the Beam Spray Gun, resulting in the new "Beam Gun" category. Its most unique feature is the large beam accelerator and battery pack located on top of the rear portion of the weapon. These mechanics created a type of beam, that in addition to pinpoint penetration of targets, also has the side effect of cutting through the internal systems of the target, which proved to be very effective at disabling the target.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Beam Stealth Coat
A special coating with unknown capabilities.

History[]

This machine was developed under the "G-4 Project", a next-generation MS development project jointly conducted by the Federation Space Force, Army, Navy, and Air Force at the end of the One Year War. Three Gundam Pixy units were known to have been constructed, with Unit 1 being sent to Belfast, Unit 3 assigned to Africa, and Unit 2 being stored at the Albatross Base in the Gobi Desert in preparation to be transferred to the Pegasus-class assault carrier White Base for use at Odessa.

When Principality of Zeon forces in the area commenced Operation Desert Dragon and attacked Albatross Base. the Gundam Pixy was commandeered by Captain Bork Cry of the Albatross transportation team to fight off the legions of Zeon mobile suits. The ultimate fate of the Gundam Pixy is uncertain. The unit may have been destroyed on the night of October 19, U.C. 0079, engaged in a fierce battle against Captain Henry Boone, leader of Zeon's Wolf Gar Team, piloting his MS-08TX Efreet, and the rest of the Wolf Gar Team, which had successfully infiltrated Albatross Base. Major Nacht Gaddish, commander of the Albatross Base, fled in a Medea, abandoning Bork and the Gundam Pixy. In the end only one thing is certain: the Gundam Pixy never arrived on the White Base as planned.

In November, U.C. 0079, Doris Brand from Slave Wraith somehow obtained a Gundam Pixy and gave it to team member Fred Reber. It is unclear whether this Pixy is the Unit 2 repaired or an illegally obtained Unit 1. Its first mission was to attack a Zeon base on the coast of Dover Sea to clear the way for the Bhatan, the flagship of General Revil. Here, Reber encountered the Pixy's old nemesis, the Efreet, whose pilot was the instructor of Zeon Corps Marchosias. However, before the duel is settled, Slave Wraith's Medea assault bombed the Zeon Base and the whole group retreated.

Variants[]

  • Gundam Pixy (LA)
Appearing in the game Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy, it is the customized mobile suit of the ace pilot Lilith Aidan. It is equipped with additional armor on various parts of its body, and the Beam Daggers have been replaced by Beam Sabers stored on the backpack. At Lilith's request, the mobile suit is also armed with the same Twin Beam Spear as used by the RGM-79FP GM Striker. It also has well-balanced firearms for short-to-medium range combat, such as the Beam Gun used by RGM-79GS GM Command Space Type and the Balzac type 380mm Rocket Bazooka used by the RGC-80S GM Cannon Space Assault Type. Overall, this customized mobile suit has better versatility than the original Gundam Pixy.
