Would you guys consider Pale Rider as a Gundam?

Cause of it's Gundam like face and that data from RX-78-4 and 5 were used in developing it along with being based on the GM Sniper ii.

It's an RX which I think means it's a Gundam.

[Ferrick]

yes, the Rider (Pale, White, Red, Black) series are all gundam types

[Joe Dirt]

No, Based on the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II.

It's not a gundam, it uses a GM Sniper II chassis and the head is still a screen head. A lot of non-gundams had Gundam heads as it was seen as a way to intimidate enemies.

one of the most famous was Gundam Marine, which was an Improved GM Marine that had a Gundam head on it, but it wasn't a gundam.

It's basically a GM type with Gundam data and basically like an improvised Gundam. IIRC, it was experimental, so using GM parts may be cheaper (EFF ran out of Gundarium- see Karen's unit in the last episodes of 08th MS Team; its head was ripped off and replaced with a GM head due to logistics issues of having spare GM parts vs Gundam parts).

So I guess that's basically a prototype Rider Gundam. (plus another user mentioning the RX- prefix)

RX is strickly their Experimental Designation. Like how the M16 was called the XM5. If Otherwise, then Guntank and Guncannon are Gundams, And they're not.

so then im right for originally assuming it meant prototype i guess. Never been a fan of the Pale rider, but I kinda like it in this game.

Also, do some of these MS designs look like the Ver. Ka variants to you? The Grandaddy seems a bit like the MG Ver. Ka kit, minus a couple details

The Pale Rider and its brothers use the latest technology the Federation developed during the One Year War. All being armoured with Gundarium and its catalog specs outclass the RX-78-2, along with the RGM-79SP GM Sniper ii it was based on being equal to the Gundam.
