The RX-78NT-1 Gundam (nicknamed Alex) is a mobile suit from the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
Bio[edit | edit source]
The Alex originally was the fourth iteration of the RX-78 series that began development in One Year War between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. It underwent major redesign as a custom unit to accommodate the increased mental capacities of the Newtype pilot Amuro Ray, but was heavily damaged in a sabotage mission lead by the Zeonite Cyclops Team. The unexpected end of the One Year War led to the Alex program being dropped altogether.
The RX-78NT-1 was equipped with with the usual armament of a beam rifle, hand-mounted beam sabers, a defensive shield, and an assortment of solid-slug rotary guns. Its actual advantage came in the form of a specialized pilot capsule with 360° panoramic monitors to guarantee optimum battlefield awareness and optional CHOBAM armor made from lunar titanium alloys; allowing the mobile suit to evade or at least shrug off attacks that would render other gundams inoperable.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The RX-78NT-1 debuted in 8chanmania XV, but nothing beyond it not winning a belt there has survived.
During 8chanmania XXV, the Alex fought a pre-show battle against Mazinkaiser, and tapped out in a submission hold.
It fought another pre-show battle prior to 8chanmania XXVIII, seeking to regain lost glory from Mazinkaiser. Long story short, it lost via pinfall.
