GUNDAM ORIGINS

Gundam (ガンダム, Gandamu)
is a metaseries of Japanese anime
created by Sunrise studios that features giant robots
(or "mecha")
called "Gundam". The metaseries started in April 7, 1979 as a serial TV
show called Mobile Suit Gundam.

The original timeline for the Gundam series was the Universal Century (UC) series, which included Mobile
Suit Gundam (1979) and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985).
Since the 1990s, alternative timelines have been produced and developed,
including the Future Century, After Colony, After War, Correct
Century, Cosmic Era and Anno Domini timelines.

Concept


Mobile Suit Gundam' was principally developed by renowned animator
Yoshiyuki Tomino, along with a changing
group of Sunrise creators who went under the collective pseudonym of "Hajime
Yatate".
During its conceptual phase, the series was titled Freedom Fighter
Gunboy, or simply Gunboy for the gun the robot was armed
with, and the primary target demographic were shōnen
(boys). In the early production stages, there were numerous references
to the word "freedom": the White
Base was originally "Freedom's Fortress", the Core Fighter was the "Freedom Wing", and the Gunperry was the
"Freedom Cruiser". The Yatate team combined the English word "gun"
with the last syllable of the word "freedom" to form the name Gundom.
Tomino then changed it to the current title, suggesting that Gundam
signified a powerful unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back
enemies, like a hydroelectric dam holding back floods.
Most Gundams are large, bipedal vehicles controlled from cockpits
by a human pilot. The majority of these "mobile suits" have a cockpit in the "torso" of
the machine, with a camera built into the "head" to
transmit images to the cockpit (with the exception of the head-mounted
cockpits in Psyco Gundam) and are non-sentient machines,
with the exceptions of the artificial intelligenceside-story Gundam Sentinel
and four mobile suits built with the EXAM System and sharing a Newtype
human soul in The Blue Destiny.
