UX-78-01 Proto Gundam

The UX-78-01 Proto Gundam was the first prototype close combat Mobile Suit. It's new reactor and armour made it the most powerful piece of military equipment during 1942.

History
The UX-78-01 Proto Gundam was sent to the Battle of Dražgoše in an attempt to turn the tide in the favour of the Allies. It decimated all the enemy Mobile Suits that it came across, their weapons having no effect on the Gundam's Luna Titanium armour. However, it was destroyed in an act of recklessness when the pilot punched straight through a GS-06F Zaku 2's fusion reactor, destroying the Gundam and killing the pilot.
