The RX-78-3 G-3 Gundam is a variation of the RX-78-2 Gundam that first appeared in the novelization of Mobile Suit Gundam.
The G-3 was a testbed for the magnet coating technology later applied to Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam and future RX-78 series units. It was equipped with the NICN system, the newest version of learning computer that was also used in the RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT-1. In addition, the laser accelerator for its thermonuclear reactor was also replaced with a new one, which gave the G-3 twice the maneuverability of the RX-78-2. Visually, the G-3 is very similar to the Gundam, except for its gray and light purple paint scheme, intended to lower visibility.
