How the Gundam-style Name Generator works
A Gundam name generator for mobile suits, pilots and warships in a real-robot mecha setting. Mobile suits get model numbers like RX-93 and MS-14, pilots get ranks and ace nicknames, and warships get a ship class. Choose the Earth Federation or Zeon and build your own One Year War.
How the Gundam name generator works
Mobile Suit Gundam gave mecha real military logic. Machines have model numbers and code names, like RX-78-2 Gundam or MS-06 Zaku II. Federation suits use RX for prototypes and RGM for mass-produced GMs; Zeon suits use MS for mobile suits, MSN for Newtype models and MA or MAN for mobile armours. The generator pairs a prefix and number with a name in each side's style: hero Gundams for the Federation, German-flavoured names for Zeon.
Pilots and aces
Federation pilots are a mix of Japanese and Western names, reflecting a global Earth government. Zeon pilots are often German or Western-named, with ace nicknames like Char's Red Comet or Johnny Ridden's Crimson Lightning. The generator can add a colour and animal nickname for a Zeon ace.

Gundam is owned by Sunrise and Bandai. This site is not affiliated with them. The names are for fan fiction, Gunpla customs and your own mecha settings.
FAQ
What do the Gundam model numbers mean?
The prefixes identify the machine's origin and role. RX marks an experimental Federation prototype, RGM a mass-produced GM, MS a Zeon mobile suit, MSN a Newtype-use suit and MA a mobile armour. The number is the model, often followed by a variant number.
Why do Zeon names sound German?
The Principality of Zeon was designed with visual and naming echoes of Imperial and Nazi Germany, to mark them as the aggressor. Zeon officers carry names like von Braun, and their mobile suits have short, harsh names like Zaku, Gouf and Dom. The generator keeps that tone.
What is an ace nickname?
Top Gundam pilots earn nicknames from the colour of their suit and their fighting style: Char Aznable is the Red Comet, Johnny Ridden the Crimson Lightning, Ramba Ral the Blue Giant. The generator can give a Zeon pilot a colour and an animal or image for that effect.
Can I use these names for Gunpla?
Yes. Custom Gunpla builds often get their own model number and name, and the generator gives you both. Use them for build logs, contests, fan fiction or a mecha tabletop game.
