History and Use of the RGC-83 GM Cannon II

The RGC-83 GM Cannon II was a mobile suit used by the Earth Federation in the Gundam universe, with particular emphasis on the events presented in the series Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. The machine stood out for its powerful artillery armament – two integrated shoulder cannons – and solid armor increasing survivability on the battlefield. It was used during the fierce battles of the early Universal Century period, corresponding to the 1980s in the context of the Gundam world, meaning the postwar era and escalating conflicts with the Zeon groups.
