Model Number: RX-78AL

A prototype ground combat mobile suit developed by the Earth Federation Forces, the Atlas Gundam is very versatile and capable of underwater combat. It is also meant for data collection and has various special features. It has a unique spherical joint system known as 'Globe Joints', which is developed based on the Principality of Zeon's amphibious mobile suits and is meant for underwater use. In addition, its feet are equipped with water jet thrusters, providing excellent underwater mobility.

Another special feature of the Atlas Gundam is the waist-mounted "Sub Legs" support equipment. They allow the Atlas Gundam to change into 'Flight Mode' for high-altitude atmospheric combat or into 'Submarine Mode' for underwater combat. The suit is armed with a heat-resistant blade shield, a prototype railgun, two beam sabers, and several assault rifles. Its cockpit block can function as an escape block and is fitted with a panoramic monitor.
