The RCX-76-02 Guncannon First Type was developed by Anaheim Electronics as the successor to the RTX-65 Guntank Early Type. Despite its humanoid shape, the Guncannon was given the same main battle tank (MBT) classification as the Guntank. The Guncannon’s humanoid design mirrored similar developments within Zeon. The Guncannon was intended to be more versatile than the Guntank, and its three-fingered manipulators could be changed with different armaments depending on the mission. The RCX-76-02’s design was based on data from two evaluation units, the RCX-76-01A and RCX-76-01B. The units used by the Iron Cavalry Squadron were equipped with a low-recoil cannon, two vulcan guns, a Gatling gun and rifle. In UC 0078, the Iron Cavalry Squadron engaged Zeon in history’s first mobile suit battle at Mare Smythii on the lunar surface. The Guncannon First Type had a disastrous showing against Zeon’s MS-05 Zaku I. As a result, developer Tem Ray pushed the EFF to allow him to develop the RX-78-2 Gundam.

The 1995 Sega Saturn Mobile Suit Gundam game has a mix of stills and fully animated retakes of iconic scenes. Its after 0083 finished but before 08th started so the aesthetic kind of in-between.
