Early during the Gryps Conflict, the Anti-Earth Union Group's newly-captured RX-178 Gundam Mark II mobile suit was soon outclassed by new transformable mobile suits/mobile armor being developed by their Titans enemies. Although fairly impressive for its innovative new "movable frame" construction, the Gundam Mark II soon found itself left behind in terms of mobility, armor and firepower. To compensate for these shortcomings, the Anaheim Electronics Company developed a new weapon to enhance the Mark II's performance. Called the FXA-05D G-Defenser, this new space fighter-like unit was capable of docking with the Gundam Mark II into the more powerful RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam. Control of the G-Defenser's main body and weapons were transferred to the Gundam Mark II's pilot, while the G-Defenser's cockpit was detached from its main body, allowing the G-Defenser to continue operating in the field in a Core Fighter-like unit.
