V1 The original [B]Gundam[/b] [[Mobile Suit]] from the series [[Mobile Suit Gundam]]. Together with [[Guntank]] and [[Guncannon]], it is the final mobile suit of the [[Earth Federation]]'s Project V. It also serves as the franchise's mascot. It is piloted by the series' protagonist, [[Amuro Ray]].

Extremely powerful and resilient, it is equipped with an advanced A.I. system that improves the combat abilities of its pilot. It was designed by [[Tem Ray]].

Visually, it has a white, red, blue, and yellow color scheme. It also has a white V-shaped head fin, and is often seen carrying a [[shield]] and [[beam rifle]]. Not the be confused with the [[Gundam Mk II]], [[Strike Gundam]], [[Ground Gundam]], or [[Gundam GP-01 Zephyranthes]].

In [[real life]] it was designed by [[Ookawara Kunio]] and refined by [[Yasuhiko Yoshikazu]] in the late 70s. (Yasuhiko designed the Gundam's face mask and color scheme.)

The first Gundam was inspired by [[Mazinger Z (mecha)]] and the [[power armor]]s from [[Starship Troopers]].
