Information: The Gundam was nearly destroyed on the space colony when the Zeon were recklessly attacking.  Amuro Ray piloted the suit to save his life and took out both of the two Zaku's.  This is the Federation's most advanced Mobile Suit as of yet.  The Gundam's Hyper Hammer is more accurate than the Gundam Hammer because it has thrusters built into the end 'ball'.  The RX-78 Gundam paved the way for every Gundam type mobile suit made in the future, and this '-2' version is the final version of the original Gundam mobile suit.
