Here's an odd thought, but there are more examples of the GM being a
generalized suit than the Gundam. We see the Gundam as the close in fighter
half of the Guncannon/Gundam team. But then, when the GM is in full
production, we see the GM fill both the close in role of the Gundam and the
long range role of the Guncannon. It would seem that the GM is in fact the
general-purpose version of the more specialized Gundam and Guncannon.
