What is Gundam A Gundam is essentially a weaponized robot piloted from within by a person. Gundams stand about 60 ft tall and weight up to 8 tons. Despite the different background stories to each Gundam series, they all agree in that Gundam was built for fighting, mostly wars, although in G Gundam they are used for entertainment fighting.
History There are several different worlds of Gundam, each one taking place on a different timeline. G Gundam- Future Century Gundam Wing- After Colony Gundam X- After War Gundam Seed- Cosmic Era (All Gundam stories writen before G Gundam were recorded in Universal Century)
G Gundam This is the Future Century. In this age of technological wonders, the ruling elites live in orbital space colonies, using the ravaged Earth as a battleground to settle their differences. Every four years, a martial tournament called the Gundam Fight is held to determine the leader of the space colonies, and now the Gundam Fighters who represent each colony have gathered on Earth to begin the 13th tournament. Their purpose is simply to fight, and fight, and fight, until only one remains to claim the title "Gundam of Gundams." But Neo Japan'sDomonKasshu has another, secret, mission... and if he fails, all of humanity may pay the price.
Shining Gundam Created by: Neo Japan Pilot: DomonKasshu Designed for close combat it’s main weapon is a beam sword. However, the Shining Gundam's most effective attack is the high-temperature Shining Finger grip, which can instantly destroy the heads of enemy mobile fighters - thus achieving an immediate victory under the rules of the Gundam Fight, while leaving the rival GundamFighterunharmed..
Burning Gundam Created by: Neo Japan Burning Gundam is the replacment for the battered Shining Gundam. It is also piloted by DomonKasshu. Burning Gundams most powerful attack takes place in it’s Hyper Mode the mobile fighter's chest opens to reveal an energy multiplier, the wing-like field emitters on its back unfold, and it can execute a devastating Burning Finger attack that far surpasses the destructive power of the original Shining Finger.
Rising Gundam Created by: Neo Japan Pilot: Rain Mikamaru Originally created during the development of Neo Japan'sShining Gundam, the Rising Gundam is sent to Earth not to compete in the Gundam Fight, but to battle the sinister Dark Gundam. Redesigned for real warfare instead of dueling, this mobile fighter is equipped with practical weapons like a long-range beam bow and a polearm-style heat naginata. The Rising Gundam can also be converted to an aggressive Mobility Mode, in which its shoulder armor becomes a protective shield. This powerful machine is brought to Earth byMajorUlube of Neo Japan during the Gundam Fight's final tournament round.
Noble Gundam Created by: Neo Sweden Developed by the space colony of Neo Sweden, the Noble Gundam conceals awesome fighting capabilities beneath its feminine exterior. This slendermobile fighter is nonetheless both powerful and highly agile, and young pilot Allenby Beardsley wields its beam ribbon and beam hoop with impressive skill. The Noble Gundam's most dangerous feature, however, is itsBerserker System. When activated by the Neo Sweden support crew, this system brings out 120% of Allenby's latent fighting ability, while at the same time transforming her into a raging beast - a literal berserker. The Noble Gundam glows red hot while in its Berserker Mode, and the radiator fins on its head unfold to help dissipate this immense heat. (Noble Gundam is the only Gundam with the female form).
Gundam Wing Series Released in 2000: Gundam Wing is the story of 5 pilots sent to Earth in Operation Meteor to fight against the Earth Aliance and Oz for the freedom of the colonies.

Glossary beam cannonFar more powerful than a beam rifle, this heavy weapon fires a wide beam of slow-moving particles that can destroy even Gundanium armor. beam rifleThis particle beam weapon is part of the standard mobile suit arsenal. It fires a narrow beam that can pierce most conventional armor. Beam rifles are powered by replaceable energy packs, which hold enough stored power for roughly twenty shots. buster rifleThe main weapon of the Wing Gundam, which can fire either a narrow beam akin to that of a beam rifle, or a huge blast like that of a beam cannon. Its energy supply allows only three shots in the latter mode. beam saberA close-combat weapon used by both the Alliance's Leo mobile suit and many of the Gundams. It generates an energy blade that can cleave through a normal mobile suit with a single blow. dobergunA shell-firing cannon used by the Alliance's Leo mobile suit. Its immense recoil makes it difficult to handle, but it's one of the most powerful weapons available for the Leo.
Glossary • hyper jammerA stealth device used by the GundamDeathscythe. The hyper jammer emits mysterious particles that scramble enemy cameras, making the Gundam invisible to visual sensors as well as radar. • GundamAn advanced mobile suit made entirely from Gundanium alloy, from which it derives it name. Thanks to its Gundanium construction, a Gundam is not only virtually indestructible, but is also invisible to radar and thus can only be detected at close range. Five Gundams were created by rebel space colonists for use in Operation Meteor, with firepower and performance far surpassing that of the Alliance's mass-produced mobile suits. Gundanium alloyA unique compound which can only be produced in the zero-gravity conditions of space. In addition to its incredible strength, Gundanium alloy is electrically nonconductive and cannot be detected by radar. However, this material is expensive and difficult to manufacture, making it unfeasible for mass production. mobile suitA humanoid vehicle operated by a human pilot. Military mobile suits stand about 16 meters tall, and carry hand weapons like machine guns, beam rifles, and beam sabers. Most are designed for a specific environment - land, space, air or water - though the Alliance's standard Leo model is flexible enough to be adapted for both land and space use.
