History
It is mainly assigned to unit commanders and ace pilots. Although the Gundam series of MS have lead to the development of various new designs, most of them being experimental machines developed for Newtype use, the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II B was the only type sent to the battlefield as a pure mass production model.
