This huge
transformable mobile armor,
was developed by the
Murasame Newtype Lab
for use by their artificially-enhanced
Cyber-Newtypes.
The Murasame Lab's original goal was simply to equip a Gundam with a
psycommu system,
the psychic interface developed by
Zeon
scientists during the
One Year War.
However, the sheer bulk of this device - and the addition of features like a
Minovsky craft
flotation system, a protective anti-beam barrier, and complex transformation mechanisms - resulted in the Psyco Gundam becoming a forty-meter monster. As well as its immense firepower, the Psyco Gundam houses a more subtle weapon... a combat system which overrides its pilot's will and forces her to fight.
