================================================================================================
Overview:
    The RGM-79 GM was a mass-produced mobile suit based on the RX-78-2 Gundam. Its basic frame
    was easily adaptable to modifications into mission-specific GM models, and had a fairly high
    level of mobility for the time, both on Earth and in space. It had a maximum acceleration of
    0.94 G in space, which was better than the Zaku and even the Gundam. On Earth's surface, the
    GM was also faster than the Zaku II. The armor of the GM was made from Titanium Alloy, a
    sturdy metal that could be refined more quickly and easily than the Gundam's Luna Titanium
    Alloy. Although Titanium Alloy is less durable than Luna Titanium Alloy, it is slightly
    lighter, which reduced the GM's overall mass compared to the Gundam's while still being
    superior to the Zaku II's super-high tensile steel armor.
