Technical and Historical Data While the original RGM-79 GM model was a rousing success by any account, Federation mobile suit designers were constantly hard at work to make improvements on an already good thing. The RGM-79R GM II was unveiled in the final weeks of the war, and following the One Year War would slowly become the EF's main mobile suit. The GM II did not sport the performance of higher end Federation models like the GM Command, GM Custom or GM Sniper II, but was a steady improvement over the original GM for a very similar cost. The frame, armor and internal weapons of the GM II match its predecessor, but it features an improved reactor capacity and thruster pack, allowing the use of a full fledged beam rifle and faster acceleration in space environments. Although these may seem like minor improvements, the difference in firepower and ammunition capacity between a beam spray gun and a beam rifle are quite significant. Some older model GMs are still in service in Federal bases, but the GM II is now its primary mobile suit. However, ace pilots still prefer higher end wartime models, and Federation designers at Pezun are busily creating new designs based on Zeon technology. Image Gallery
