As the Earth
Federation Forces concentrated their manufacturing efforts on the
production of their new mass-produced RGM-79
GM units during the latter months of the One Year War, those
mobile suits already fielded had to make do with what few materials
were available. Since the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Types were themselves built using spare parts, there were no more
spare parts left to effect repairs to heavily damaged units,
and field engineers had to literally rebuild mobile suits with
whatever they could find. When Ensign Shiro Amada's RX-79[G]
was trashed in an attempt to stop Zeon's prototype Apsalus
II mobile armor in November UC 0079, the Kojima Batallion's
engineers and mechanics rebuilt his mobile suit with many improvised
modifications.
