Following the rollout of the
RX-79[G] Gundam,
the
Federation
began developing a simplified version of the Gundam suitable for mass production. The RGM-79[G] GM, an early incarnation of the Federation's
standard mass-produced mobile suit,
is a land warfare type based on the RX-79[G] Gundam. With capabilities close to those of a Gundam, this GM is actually superior to the low-cost final version. 12 of these limited-production units have been assigned to the
Kojima Battalion.
