The Gundam Pixy: A High-Performance Close-Combat Mobile Suit

The Gundam Pixy is a prototype close-quarters combat mobile suit developed by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War. This high-performance mobile suit was designed for use by ace pilots, boasting exceptional speed and agility.

Design and Features

The Gundam Pixy is a variant of the RX-78 series, with significant design differences that set it apart from its predecessors. By removing the core block system and thrusters for outer space, the Gundam Pixy is significantly lighter, allowing it to achieve higher speeds and greater agility. Its enhanced apogee motors also provide burst thrust capabilities exceeding those of the RX-78-2.

Armaments and Equipment

The Gundam Pixy is equipped with a range of armaments, including 60mm Vulcan guns, beam daggers, and a 90mm submachine gun. Additionally, it can be outfitted with a HWF GMG·MG79-90mm bullpup machine gun and a BOWA BG-M-79F-3A beam gun. The mobile suit also features a Beam Stealth Coat, a special coating with unknown capabilities.

History and Variants

The Gundam Pixy was developed under the “G-4 Project,” a next-generation mobile suit development project conducted by the Federation Space Force, Army, Navy, and Air Force. Three units were constructed, with Unit 1 being sent to Belfast, Unit 3 assigned to Africa, and Unit 2 stored at the Albatross Base in the Gobi Desert.

The Gundam Pixy has several variants, including the Gundam Pixy (LA), a customized mobile suit used by Lilith Aidan, and the Fred Reber Custom, used by Fred Reber.

In Popular Culture

The Gundam Pixy has appeared in various forms of media, including video games such as Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079, Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link, and Gundam Versus. It has also been featured in manga and anime series, including Mobile Suit Gundam: We’re Federation Hooligans!!
