The RX-81 G-Line is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam Battlefield Record UC 0081.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

As the mass-produced GM series placed priority on productivity, its specifications are considerably lowered from those of the RX-78-2 Gundam. The RX-81's plan retains the specifications of the Gundam while increasing the mobile suit's variety of weapons and armor by incorporating the FSWS, and as a result, it has several forms it can change into. Backpacks can be replaced according to the situation, with two thrusters on the ground and six for space.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Gun
Mounted in the head, the pair of 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 Saber
The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits, it is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through most armor not treated with anti-beam coating. The RX-81 has two beam sabers stored on its backpack.
  • Short Beam Rifle
  • Shield
Basic defensive equipment, the G-Line's shield is a simple defense used to block physical and beam attacks. The shield also has spikes on the lower edge, which can be used in close combat.

History[]

The RX-81 development program was temporarily frozen during the One Year War to prioritize production of the GM. The program was resumed in U.C. 0081 after the turmoil of the postwar period had subsided and a limited number of RX-81 were made due to their high cost. The Earth Federation's Phantom Sweep Team that was tasked with taking down the Zeon remnant group, the Invisible Knights, was one of those given the RX-81.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The RX-81 was first mentioned in the original Mobile Suit Variation in the Full Armor Gundam's profile as a complete mass production version of the Gundam. It was first given a mechanical design in M-MSV, where it was described as being able to equip different weapons depending on the situation. Only the standard armor and the light armor forms were shown, though an unseen "assault type" was mentioned along with "Full Armor version". In Mobile Suit Gundam: Battlefield Record U.C. 0081, the RX-81 was given the name "G-Line". Its Assault Armor variant and armorless "basic frame" form received designs by Katoki Hajime, who also redesigned all of the existing variants.
