RX-78-2 Gundam (RX-78-2ガンダム) is the first successful Gundam to be made by the Earth Federation and the first Mobile Suit to be piloted by Amuro. Known by its enemies as "The White Devil", it was a top secret weapon that rescued the crew on White Base countless times. Though the model that Amuro used was crippled after the first series, it acted as a blue print for future RX models and variations. It continues to act as an iconic mecha for the series and is known to make occasional cameos in different continuities within the Gundam series.
Many people may better recognize it as the life-sized Gundam statue in Tokyo, which was made for the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise. During select times of the day, the statue emits a mist and light show.
