The original Gundam Mobile Suit from the series Mobile Suit Gundam. Together with Guntank and Guncannon, it is the final mobile suit of the Earth Federation's Project V. It also serves as the franchise's mascot. It is piloted by the series' protagonist, Amuro Ray.
Visually, it has a white, red, blue, and yellow color scheme. It also has a white V-shaped head fin, and is often seen carrying a shield and beam rifle. Not the be confused with the Gundam Mk II, Strike Gundam, Ground Gundam, or Gundam GP-01 Zephyranthes.
It's designed by Ookawara Kunio and refined by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu in the late 70s. (Yasuhiko designed Gundam's face mask and color scheme.)
The first Gundam was inspired by Mazinger Z (mecha) and the power armors from Starship Troopers.
