#Gundam nt 1 concept full
The Japan Self-Defense Forces built an approximately full scale RX-78-3 Gundam with styrofoam in its show and contains a simulation pod. The continuing popularity in Japan of this mobile suit has led Bandai to create a 1.5m tall model version, which will go on sale in Japan in 2007. In addition, the fifteenth installment of the Gundam Evolve series of shorts features another variation on the RX-78's design, a highly stylized version of the iconic machine based on "modern" design aesthetics. Though mostly identical to the original, it features slightly different designs for its weapons, a small vulcan pod in its shoulder, and the ability to replace one of the beam sabers stored in its backpack with a cannon similar to that of the Guncannon. Okawara himself redesigned the Gundam for original character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga, a retelling of the events of the original series. Ka") has become popular enough to be made into both injection plastic model kits sold by Bandai and resin-based garage kits sold by their B-Club subsidiary.

These were designed by Okawara between 19 for Mobile Suit Variations. However, "Sunrise" disapproved of the colouring and insisted the unit to be painted in brighter colours to attract attention, like other Super Robot anime at that time.Although the 'original' Gundam, the RX-78-2 design was expanded to be the second in a line of 8 Gundams preceding model RX-78-1 and later models RX-78-3~8. Tomino's response in the novel version of "Gundam" is that the original design was to be a grayscale machine, made up of mostly white and light gray colouring. One of the common questions asked is why did the enemies in the series keep referring to the RX-78-2 as "White" while it is a mix of blue, red, and white. Okawara created multiple designs before settling on the current, samurai-styled design for the anime in 1979. The series later changed its name to Mobile Suit Gundam and Kunio Okawara was given Tomino's concept to shape into a finalized design for the anime. The RX-78's initial concept was that of a powered armor, the primary design for Yoshiyuki Tomino's proposed series "Freedom Fighter Gunboy". The RX-78-2 Gundam serves as the iconic symbol of the Gundam universe and sparked the creation of its multiple sequels and spinoffs. The titular mobile suit of the series, the RX-78-2 Gundam, is a member of this series. The RX-78 Gundam is a series of fictional testbed mobile suits in the Gundam Universal Century developed by the Earth Federation.
