Note:
• The RX-121 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel] is a functional test machine. Although it's a test machine, it was developed for use in real combat, so its basic movement systems are the same highly reliable ones used in the GM series mobile suits. Its beam rifle is a prototype version of the energy pack type which the next generation of machines are expected to carry, and this machine has also been used in the development and testing of other devices such as the shield booster.
The Hazel has been equipped with a Gundam head in order to test its psychological effectiveness against Zeon forces. Although it has the head of the legendary RX-78-2 Gundam, the mobile suit itself is based on the RGM-79Q GM Quel rather than being newly constructed as an RX type. While this machine uses the basic frame of the GM Quel, many of its parts have been replaced with enhancement parts like the new backpack, the movable booster pod attached to it, and the improved thrusters in its legs. As a result, its potential rivals that of an RX type.
