The RGM-79 GM, also known as "Jim," was the Earth Federation's first mass-produced mobile suit, debuting in Mobile Suit Gundam. Based on the RX-78-2 Gundam, the GM featured a versatile frame suitable for various mission-specific modifications. It boasted high mobility both on Earth and in space, with a maximum acceleration of 0.94 Gs in space, outperforming the Gundam and doubling the Zaku's acceleration. On Earth, it was also faster than the Zaku II.

The GM's armor was made of Titanium Alloy, which was lighter and easier to refine than the Gundam's Luna Titanium Alloy, though less durable. This alloy made the GM lighter than the Gundam and still superior to the Zaku II's armor. The GM was typically armed with a beam spray gun, capable of destroying mobile suits in one shot, though initially, it used machine guns until the beam spray gun was mass-produced. It could also use the Gundam's beam rifle and a mass production version of the Hyper Bazooka. For close combat, the GM had a beam saber and a shield similar to the Gundam's. Some commander units had a second beam saber. Additionally, the GM featured head-mounted 60mm vulcan guns for missile interception and close-range defense.

The GM initiated the RGM series, which continued to be the Federation's main mass-produced mobile suits until the Federation's dissolution.
