Google said: Following the destruction of two of the three RX-78-2 Gundam prototypes being assembled and tested at the Federation's Side 7 research colony in September UC 0079, the remains of the two damaged units were loaded aboard the Earth Federation Forces' White Base assault carrier, eventually making its way to the underground Jaburo military headquarters on Earth. The remains of the two damaged RX-78-2s would be cobbled together into a new testbed unit, designated the RX-78-3 Gundam, or "G-3." The G-3 would be used for testing new mobile suit technologies and ideas, the most well-known feature being the magnetic coating system developed by Mosk Han. By applying this electromagnetically-charged material to the G-3's motors and joints, the mobile suit's maneuverability and response time was increased by 30%. This successful technology would later be applied to the remaining RX-78-2 Gundam still operating in the field aboard White Base.
