Technical and Historical Notes

Following the testing of the RGC-80 Prototype GM Cannon, the Earth Federation Forces quickly followed up with the final RGC-80 GM Cannon, correcting the problems encountered in the test model. Put into production in late UC 0079, the production model GM Cannon mounted only one rocket launching 240mm cannon, complemented by heavier armor on the legs to offset the recoil. Being a derivative of the standard RGM-79 GM, the GM Cannon could also carry the same hand weapons and shields as its close combat sibling. The units used by the Moore Brotherhood in Side 4’s Thunderbolt Sector differed from the standard model in that they utilized the Core Block System and had their joints sealed to protect from space debris.
