RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type (MS IGLOO)

An early prototype of the Earth Federation Forces' mobile suit mass production project, the GM Ground Type was developed before the RX-78-2 Gundam's operational data was recovered. Even though it was only able to operate on Earth, its internal parts were all tuned for ground combat, and it was equipped with Luna Titanium armor, causing its mobility, maneuverability, and general performance to surpass the later RGM-79 GM. The GM Ground Type was a simplified version of the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type, and produced using the same production line. Due to its use of Luna Titanium alloy, it was unsuited for mass production and produced in limited numbers.
