The RX-78-2 Solomon Express G-2 is a mobile suit featured in the Solomon Express design series. It was designed by Makoto Kobayashi and featured in the October 1999 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine.

History

As the One Year War was drawing to a close, the Earth Federation created Mobile suit designs aimed to develop anti-fortress weapons for the forthcoming battles of Solomon and A Baoa Qu codenamed "Solomon Express". One of these plans, the "Solomon Express G-2" was intended to modify the RX-78-2 Gundam into a nuclear-equipped weapons platform. The G-2 would feature new armor components on its torso and two large liquid Hydrogen-propelled boosters on its back, and the addition of a special targeting sensor on the right eye camera, which was able to follow quick moving objects. Its was designed to deliver thermonuclear warheads, which was a violation of the Antarctic Treaty at the time of the G-2's conceptualization.
