A custom type with scope was developed for the Gundam Alex.Ī defensive armament, the Gundam Alex's shield has the same structure as its Chobam Armor and also has an anti-beam coating to withstand several beam shots like other shields. With considerable destructive power owing to the high explosive yield in each warhead, the weapon was primarily used to destroy less maneuverable targets such as warships, satellites, land battleships, bunkers, and buildings.
Ī general purpose fire support rocket launcher platform for mobile suits. It has been suggested that the magazine-shaped parts at the bottom of the rifle is an exchangeable E-pack. The Gundam Alex's beam rifle has a higher output and convergence rate than the one used by the RX-78-2 Gundam, leading to better penetration power. The primary ranged weapon of the Gundam Alex, it uses parts produced by different companies. As a result, these beam sabers have a different design compared to those of the RX-78-2 and RX-78-3, and they are stored closer to the backpack's center instead of being stored on the backpack's outer edges like the other two mobile suits. Both the beam sabers and the backpack connectors were made by Blash. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. These weapons are unusable when Gundam Alex is equipped with the Chobam Armor. Although quite effective in combat, it is not adopted by subsequent mass production mobile suits due to cost and maintenance issues. The adoption of this armament was made possible by the fact that the joint parts have been made smaller by improving field motor technology, allowing it to be mounted in the freed-up space. The gun barrel is usually hidden and pops up during use, but the weapon's vibration and limited number of bullets caused issues. It has the power to penetrate the armor of MS as seen with the MS-18E Kämpfer. Low offensive power, only used to restrict enemy movement, and lay down a wall of suppressive fire due to their rapid fire capability. ArmamentsĪ pair of shell-firing armament built into the head.

Lastly, the name "Alex" is a word play on the "RX" code for the Gundam series and also an acronym for " Armored Layers EXperimental". The "U.N.T.SPACY" markings on various parts of the Alex represent a top-secret plan of the Earth Federation Forces and stand for Under Normal Tactics S Pecial Assortment Construction Yard. This armor however increase the Alex's total weight to a shocking 95 tons, hampering its maneuverability and mobility to a certain degree, although measures were taken to reduce these negative impacts.

The Alex's generator output is also improved.Īdditionally, the Alex can be outfitted with a new set of optional armor known as the Chobam Armor, turning into the Full Armor Alex for better defensive power. To make the Alex highly maneuverable and mobile, its propulsion power is enhanced with the backpack thrusters being enlarged, as well as various thrusters being placed throughout its body. The Magnet Coating improves the machine's reaction speed by three times when compared to conventional mobile suit without this coating. The linear floating seat not only better protects the pilot against G-forces and impact shocks, but also complements the panoramic monitor as it is suspended in the cockpit, enhancing the pilot's field of view. The panoramic monitor provided increased visibility and reduced pilot stress. To be more responsive to its pilot, the Alex utilized the brand new panoramic monitor/linear floating seat combination, and the Magnet Coating pioneered by the RX-78-3 "G-3" Gundam. Test pilot Christina MacKenzie (an Oldtype) noted that the machine was incredibly powerful, almost to the point that it was out of control. Instead, it was designed to be highly maneuverable, mobile and responsive, taking advantage of a Newtype's superb reaction speed and reflexes. As the Earth Federation Forces did not have the same level of Newtype research as the Principality of Zeon, the Alex did not have any Psycommu controlled remote weaponry. In fact, Amuro's data was utilized during the machine's development. Its intended pilot was Amuro Ray, an ace pilot who has been displaying Newtype powers in battle and as a result was overworking his RX-78-2 Gundam.
The RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" was developed by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War as a mobile suit specifically for Newtypes.
