0083 is a Gundam series of OVA that Jordy I have read in its entirety, and this work, like its title "0083", mainly tells the story of what happened between Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) and Mobile Suit Z Gundam (0087), filling in the gaps in history. 0083 itself is a very high work in terms of image quality, and since it was decided to make a theatrical version by re-cataloging in the middle of the series, the quality of the painting in the second half of the series was further improved. Originally, the production plan of 0083 can be said to start with Gundam Sentinel's animation project, so the actual characters, setting materials, and story direction have many similarities with Gundam Sentinel. After the baptism of Gundam Sentinel and 0083, some of the "military faction" Gundam fans who emphasized military settings and depictions looked up, and often examined the realism of subsequent Gundam works from a stern perspective.
The basic plot of this game is probably that Hiro Uragi, a young second lieutenant of the Earth Federation Army, with a test pilot at the Trinton base, is secretly carrying out the final test stage of the Gundam development plan, and the two Gundams designed and manufactured by Anaheim Electronics Company have their own characteristics in terms of performance, No. 1 machine is equipped with light high-performance armor, mainly mobility, And No. 2 machine armor is heavy, carrying power and propulsion, and equipped with nuclear weapons. Everything was going well, and on the night of October 13, the Base of Trinton was suddenly raided by MS forces of unknown origin. Moreover, GP-02 was taken away. The enemy who activated GP-02 was Anabelle Cardo, a loyal subordinate of Diraz, who was called Solomon's Nightmare by Federal soldiers during solomon's retreat during solomon's retreat, when he led his troops on a rear-breaking mission and inflicted great damage on the Union army. At the Base of Trindon, he and Diraz's special attack force should be combined to seize the GP-02, although they were intercepted by GP-01 piloted by Hiroshi during the battle, but The combat-experienced Cardo easily got rid of Hiroshi Uragi's pursuit. The design of the GP-02 to carry a nuclear bomb is clearly a violation of the Antarctic Treaty, and the federal government is certainly very worried about this, but at the same time, they do not take the Diraz Army seriously, thinking that they are just a small stream of troops. The battleship Albion, stationed at Trindon, received instructions to capture the GP-02 in case it was used in space warfare away from Earth.
Jordy is quite fond of UC Era machines, especially 0083 machines. Next, let's introduce the airframe of 0083.
RX-78 GP01
The Earth Company Army used the prototype MS RX-78 GP01 Gundam Prototype No. 1 to test the modified airframe of the RX-78-2. The main feature is a nuclear fighter for escape. Dedicated to land warfare, the mobility of the reached universe is seriously reduced.
RX-78 GP01Fb
RX-78 GP01Fb: Full BURNERN added to improve the GP01, dedicated to space warfare. During the scheduled trip to Anaheim Electronics to upgrade the RX-78 GP01 and collect battle data, the GP01 was broken.
After the end of the One Year War, the upper echelons of the Earth Federation Army studied the MS itself. The development of the Post-War MS of the Union Army basically began with the absorption of the advanced technology of the old Principality of Jean Army. After analyzing the technical gaps from various sources of information such as received materials and facilities, the so-called "Gundam Development Program" was proposed to make MS more high-performance. Based on the RX-78-2 Gundam, which had an astonishing record during the One Year's War, several Experimental Gundam airframes were built for testing the development of the second phase of the main MS. The GP01 is the "generic" airframe of these prototypes that presupposes combating gravity. Compared with the RX-78-2, the use of the detector is greatly enhanced, and as a result of the pursuit of the design idea of universal human-type weapons, its movement is closer to that of humans. In order to ensure the safety of the pilot and the recovery of combat data, the fuselage also adopted the Core Block System, and the assembly of the new Core Fighter II and the main body was changed from the problematic vertical mode of the previous RX-78 to a horizontal mode. The design of the new frame and the introduction of state-of-the-art technology made the GP01 the highest performing airframe of its time with high maneuverability and mobility that had not been seen in previous land combat MS. As a highly versatile airframe, the GP01 can be equipped with and used a variety of live-fire weapons in addition to optical weapons. One of them is the standard weapon of the Union Army MS, the 90mm machine gun. While both destructive and penetrating optical weapons are superior, live-fire machine guns are better when you want to perform a surface attack rather than a point attack. In addition, the use of special ammunition such as paintballs during field training such as simulated warfare can also make combat safer.
RX-78GP02A
GP02 is a core part of the Union Army's GP program. It was also something that the Union Army had been trying to cover up, so that after the Stardust Battle, all the relevant materials had to be erased. This is because the core part of the GP program is the use of tactical thermonuclear weapons, which were banned at the time of the Antarctic Treaty. Carrying nuclear weapons is the GP02A, the prototype of the GP program.
The RX-78 GP02A Gundam prototype No. 2 was redesigned as a tactical nuclear equipment body, resulting in an extreme decline in versatility. Its standard equipment, in addition to the special equipment nuclear bomb bazooka, only 2 head Vulcan cannons and 2 beam sabers are left. However, under the control of Major Anabel Cato, who has extensive combat experience and a great sense of manipulation of MS, the GP02A has played an extraordinary and overwhelming combat capability. After the No. 2 machine was forcibly seized, he used this airframe to update his crash records again and again. In the last battle of the body, in the head-to-head with the GP01Fb Gundam Trial No. 1, in the case of the loss of his left arm, Cato lifted the beam knife's restriction device and made a final blow to the opponent with a beam blade that was close to 2 times the usual, containing his incomparable obsession. In the end, the GP02A and GP01Fb died together.
RX-78GP-03S Stamen
The RX-78GP-03S Stamen is the most specific MS in the GP series developed as the core system of the RX-78 GP-03D. Although it is called the core system, the stand-alone performance of this machine is quite outstanding, far exceeding the mass production MS at that time. Technicians installed many homemade royal rockets in various parts of the fuselage, which was very rare at the time; the external equipment such as beam sabers used were stored inside the fuselage in a way called "homomorphic"; in addition, the computer system used in this machine was much higher than the level of the computer system used by ordinary MS at that time. It can be seen that this machine has amazing foresight and advanced awareness in design.
The name "Stamen" means "stamen" and when combined with the Arsenal System (Orchis) became the RX-78 GP-03D Dendrobium.
RX-78GP-03S
The GP03S's head module has a Gundam style, and the specifications used in the optical sighting device and the Walk-Through Terminal are self-contained. In addition, in principle, due to the premise of linkage with the "calyx", the mutual communication system that can realize remote control operation and minimal connection control is also equipped as a basic equipment, and the expected action of the combo attack can be realized on the condition of the dispersion concentration of the Minovsky particles. In fact, the reloading operation of weapons can be achieved through various ways such as connection, radio waves, lasers, and contact circuits. The torso section features a linear seat-type all-day screen cockpit with large fire control, and to keep the system running at maximum efficiency, the pilot takes a special prescription of intensive medication to work with the system.
RX-78GP-03D
The RX-78GP03D Gundam Prototype No. 3 (Dendrobium Orchid) is a super weapon developed by Anaheim Corporation with reference to the powerful firepower, high mobility, and versatility of the MS developed by the old Jean Army, and is also the third machine in the "Gundam Development Program", whose main purpose is space defense.
Strictly speaking, it is difficult to classify the native machine into either MS or MA. Technicians set up a total of 6 large thrusters in each part of the fuselage, so that the total thrust of the fuselage reached 2265,000KG, and it was easy to break through the enemy's defense line by speed alone, and then use high firepower to crush the enemy. The 70-meter-long large beam gun on the right side of the fuselage is more powerful than the main gun of the battleship; the large beam saber equipped can easily cut off the heavy armor of the battleship; the machine is also equipped with the I Field generator, which can invalidate the beam weapon when used, greatly improving the defense of the fuselage. For ordinary MS, this machine can be called a monster-like existence.
