RX-75 Guntank units such as this one were stationed at Jaburo during Zeon’s attack on the base on November 24th, UC0079. Their strong firepower provided by their 280mm cannons, in addition their mobility allowed them more versatility than stationary defenses, which was essential for repelling Zeon’s air forces, including the multiple Gaws that deployed 120 mobile suits during the attack. This Guntank was piloted by Ryan Kobayashi, a 19-year-old stationed at Jaburo while participating in a Federation Mobile Suit training program. His eccentric attitude and near obsession with cowboys earned him the nickname of “Rawhide” among his squad, a title he embraced. During the first day of fighting, his unit received light damage from a Dopp, but was able to continue operating through the rest of the assault. On November 25th, Kobayashi was killed in his Guntank after losing his position to an advancing unit of Acguys.
