They make it into something of an inside joke later on, but it's actually pretty obscure, and to explain it would require me to spoil a lot of stuff.

Hmm, very interesting! I just love the look of the 0 Gundam. Now I'm going to find more info on the RX-78-2.
I'm starting off on Gundam 00 but I'm going back as far as I can in Gundam history after finishing Gundam 00 to get myself up to speed on the large history of Gundam fiction.

Shadowman wrote:The RX-78-2 was the original Gundam. It's usually just called the RX-78, but that refers to a series of Mobile Suits, rather than just the Gundam. It's actually the Gundam that most Gundams are based on, especially "hero" Gundams like the Strike, Wing, and Exia.
