Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The SDV-04 Command Gundam is one of the titular Mobile Suits of the SD Gundam Franchise, specifically the SD Command Chroniclesseries. Unlike the Musha Gundam or the Knight Gundam, the Command Gundam is more based on 'trigger happy' depiction of Americans seen within many action films of the 1980s/1990s, such as Rambo. The Non-SD version is designed by Kunio Okawara and he is based on both the FA-78-1 Gundam Full Armor Type from the Mobile Suit Variations series and the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (of Commando film).
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Command Gundam is specially developed for rugged terrain and earth-based missions, having no fixed beam weaponry equipped. As it stands larger than the average mobile suit, its size dominates the battlefield as a miniaturized mobile fortress. The other unique thing about the Command Gundam is that its built with a more powerful armor and a lot sturdier frame that supports it, allowing to endure harsh situations in the battlefield.
The Command Gundam itself is also armed with a variety of weapons such as the Beam Machine Gun, a Heat Knife, a 4-pod missile launcher, Smoke discharger and a Mega bazooka launcher. It can also be equipped with a more powerful Heavy Weapon System Armor, which doubles the overall firepower of the mobile suit.

History
Command Gundam first appeared in the series SD Command Chronicles. He was a mysterious Gundam who suddenly appeared in order to round-up several lazy Gundams and train them to fight against the Zatarion Empire as the combat team G-Arms. After becoming injured in a battle, he stepped down from commander position of the G-Arms team and entrusted it to CAPG-78 Captain Gundam. Despite this, he still had a big role in the battle against Zatarion Empire.
He also appeared in Episode 0 of Shin SD Gundam Gaiden: Knight Gundam Story as Barbarian Knight Conan Gundam (蛮騎士コナンガンダム) and was a member of King Gundam I's Knights of the Round Table.
