Page "Mobile weapons" Paragraph 33

In 1994's Mobile Fighter G Gundam, mobile suits are very common much as airplanes are in the early 21st century.

Their development began even before mankind left the Earth for Space Colonies.

However, what is special about G Gundam's timeline is the presence of advanced mobile suits called mobile fighters.

Using the mobile trace system, these mobile fighters mimic the movements of their pilots, making them very effective for close-ranged martial arts combat.

However Mobile Suits are also developed for defensive purposes since they have a lower production cost and has no worries in developing suitable pilots.
