Gundam
Giant robot franchise
Gundam refers to a Japanese media franchise centered on giant humanoid robots called mobile suits, particularly the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam from the original 1979 anime series.
The franchise spans animated series, films, manga, and model kits.
Building Gundam plastic models (Gunpla) is a popular hobby worldwide.
In broader anime and gaming contexts, Gundam often serves as shorthand for any large piloted mecha: That game has Gundam-style combat.
