''Mobile Fighter G Gundam'' (''Kidou Budouten G Gundam'', lit. "Mobile Fighting Legend G Gundam") is the first AlternateUniverse in the ''{{Gundam}}'' franchise. Notable as a significant departure from the normal ''Gundam'' saga in that it was essentially a [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robot]] show. Every ''Gundam'' series before and after has been essentially the prime examples of the RealRobotGenre. ''G Gundam'' has only a few mild relations to the other series besides the name "Gundam." It also takes a lot of inspiration from the {{shonen}} genre. Part of this radical change is that YoshiyukiTomino set aside series director duties after being burned out on ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'', and that they instead got the guy who did ''GiantRobo'', Yasuhiro Imagawa, to do the job, resulting in a series less like traditional Gundam, and more like a classic SuperRobot series of yore. Bandai also demanded a ''Gundam'' tournament story in an attempt to increase gunpla sales, which were doing poorly at the time.
