Gundam Name Generator

Gundam names have a grammar. Almost every mobile suit carries a model code followed by a name, and each series has its own code system: RX- for Federation prototypes (RX-78-2), MS- for Zeon production suits (MS-06 Zaku II), XXXG- for the Gundam Wing five, GAT- and ZGMF- for Earth Alliance and ZAFT machines in SEED, GN- for Celestial Being's Gundams in 00, and ASW-G- for the seventy-two Calamity War frames of Iron-Blooded Orphans. Getting the code right is half of what makes an original suit feel canon.

The name itself usually comes from a theme. Wing uses weapons and death imagery (Deathscythe, Heavyarms, Sandrock, Epyon). SEED uses abstract ideals (Freedom, Justice, Providence, Destiny). 00 draws from angelic virtues and choirs (Exia, Dynames, Virtue, Seravee, Cherudim). Iron-Blooded Orphans names its Gundams after the demons of the Ars Goetia (Barbatos, Bael, Kimaris, Gusion, Flauros), which is why so many fan suits use unused Goetic names like Marchosias, Andras, or Vepar. Zeon and its successor factions favor short, blunt, German-sounding names such as Gouf, Dom, Gelgoog, Kampfer, and Sazabi, while The Witch from Mercury names come from Norse myth and alchemy (Lfrith, Aerial, Calibarn).

This list mixes canon suits with original ones written to those conventions, so you can find a name and code for a Gunpla kitbash, a fanfic protagonist's machine, or a tabletop mecha campaign.
