[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

Just before the battle of A Bao Que, the Gundam finally met it's match: it's own pilot, Amuro Rey. Amuro's increasing reaction times were pushing the Gundam far beyond it's specifications until finally it simply broke under the strain. Thankfully, the Earth Federation were already aware of this, and delivered a brand new Gundam, specifically designed to handle the improved reaction times of a Newtype. It also featured some new technologies that had been developed since the creation of the original Gundam.

The RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" was a big step above its already-well-performing (but hopelessly overworked) RX-78-2 predecessor. In addition to the standard head vulcan guns, beam sabers and a beam rifle (and everything else Gundam was using), the Alex mounted a 90mm Gatling gun in each forearm, giving the mobile suit heavy close-range firepower to back up its beam rifle. The Alex also replaced the costly and complicated "Core Block System" of the original Gundam with an experimental new type of cockpit. Incorporating a 360-degree "panoramic monitor" screen around the pilot, all of the Alex's controls were incorporated into panels mounted on the pilot's "linear seat." This configuration gave the pilot an almost unlimited field of vision, thus allowing for easier target acquisition and faster response time. Another feature adding to the Alex's maneuverability was the "magnetic coating" applied to the suit's joints and motors, reducing friction and wear to almost nothing and making the Alex extremely responsive to pilot input.

[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

In addition to being more responsive then the original Gundam, the Alex was also equipped with mounting ports for a Full Armor system, intended to be superior to the G-Armor. The Full Armor system originally was designed to just be additional armor plates, however in order to completly replace the G-Armor modules, it was equipped with built-in missile pods and beam cannons. This required the installation of additional verniers and generators to offset the added weight and power requirements.
