However, using so much power for avionics and thrusters, it doesn't have a horrible lot of energy to spare for beam weaponry. Though produced too late to affect the initial battle against Neo-Zeon, it performed admirably alongside the GM-III in space.ĭespite its age, the Space Command II is a very well-rounded design, with decent armor, good power and excellent maneuverability from its many thrusters. However, an entirely new cockpit block was deemed too expensive, so it remains one of the only current mobile suits that lack a panoramic cockpit. The bulky armor was replaced with more durable and lighter Gundarium panels and electronics essential for command use were upgraded - notably a more powerful comms array. Later called the GM Space Command II, it was both an upgrade to overall performance and a reduction of the immense upkeep cost. The RGM-79SE model, or the 'Enhanced Command Space Type,' was designed. With the rise of Neo-Zeon, the Earth Federation Forces scrambled to modernize whatever mobile suits were on hand. However, the obsolesce of the GM-II and newer designs like the Barzam meant the revision was shelved. When Zeon remnants engaged these few suits, there were no suitable replacement parts to get them operating on the same level again.Ī renewal project for the RGM-79S 'Command Revision, Space Type' was begun under the Titans to fight alongside the GM-II. In the years following the war, GM Command types were frequently posted on under-staffed colonies and scientific facilities requiring improved defenses. While extremely effective in combat, their limited numbers made it hard to thoroughly test their combat potential, so the project mostly remained on the backburner. The original RGM-79G Command, designed for combat in the colonies was quickly adapted to space warfare as the RGM-79GS and issued to unit commanders. One of the unusual downsides to having a standardized mobile suit force was that the EFSF had no enhanced mobile suits to equip their most hardened veterans and commanding officers with, unlike the Zeon Gelgoog. This mobile suit is only seen in 0095: Ghosts of Zeon.
