The MRX-009 Psyco Gundam is a fictional weapon (transformable mobile armor) from the anime series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. The Psyco (Psychic Control) Gundam was massive compared to standard Mobile Suits. It had enough firepower for it to literally act as a battleship.

MRX-009 Psyco Gundam
As the Earth Federation Forces' Titans force continued to build up its military and political power in its crusade to rule the Earth Sphere with an iron fist, one area of research actively pursued by the Titans was "cyber Newtypes" - artificially-engineered Newtypes who could operate revolutionary new Newtype-controlled weapons. At their Murasame Laboratory in Japan, the Titans built the Federation's first Newtype-use unit, the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam. Equipped with a psycommu ("psychic communicator") system similar to that developed by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War (hence the name "Psyco," which is short for "psycommu"), the Psyco Gundam's tremendous beam weapon firepower could be controlled by the pilot's mere thoughts. The Psyco Gundam was heavily armed, sporting a 3-barreled scattering beam gun in its chest, ten beam guns in its fingers and a 2-barrel beam gun in its head, making the unit capable of attacking several targets at one (or levelling lots of real estate). Due to its massive size, the Psyco Gundam could transform into a "mobile fortress" mode equipped with a Minovsky craft system to give it high-altitude atmospheric flight. The Psyco Gundam's chosen pilot was Murasame Labs' cyber Newtype "Number Four," or Four Murasame, and the unit was soon dispatched to destroy the AEUG and Karaba forces operating on Earth. The Psyco Gundam was severely damaged during an AEUG mission to launch Kamille Bidan and his RX-178 Gundam Mark II back out into space, and the Psyco Gundam was taken to the Titans' Kilimanjaro base in Africa, where it would be repaired and equipped with an experimental new "psycho-control chair," further enhancing Four's abilities to control the Psyco Gundam.
MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II
Psyco Gundam Mk-III
This version of the Psyco Gundam is a version that was designed specifically for the Playstation game 'Gundam: The Battle Master'. It also appeared in the sequel (The North American 'Gundam Battle Assault', or simply 'Gundam: The Battle Master 2' in Japan). It does not fit in with any of the canon timelines since it is theoretically a UC design but is piloted by the AC pilot Valder Farkill (the pilot of the Hydra Gundam --- which is instead piloted by Treize Khushrenada in Battle Assault --- in the Gundam Wing manga G-Unit: The Last Outpost.); In the original The Battle Master 2, however, it is piloted by a Newtype woman named Maria Nichols. Maria is also playable in the Playstation SD Gundam: G-Generation F game after the Mk. III's design is researched.
The Psyco Mk-III also featured in the sequel game 'Gundam Battle Assault 2' where is was piloted by another AU pilot, Ulube Ishikawa (from Mobile Fighter G Gundam).
