Technical and Historical Notes |
The Heavy Full Armor Gundam is the ultimate evolution of the RX-78-7 7th Gundam. This unit is the FA-78-3 Full Armor 7th Gundam with the addition of a mega beam cannon unit. The addition of the cannon gives it the same power as a battleship. The mega beam cannon unit is equipped with a large-sized generator, propellant tanks and additional verniers. There would be no equal to this and no loss in performance at all. However, this design is proposed shortly before the end of the One Year War. With only the basic frame of the 7th Gundam being completed, this powerful addition is never built. It is believed that this unit's concept is inherited years later by the RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium Orchis."
