A surprise attack by the Cyclops team failed to stop the EFF from shipping the incomplete Gundam Alex parts from its Arctic base to Side 6's Libot Colony, where it was soon completed and began test trials with pilot Christina Mackenzie. Word of this top-secret project reached the Principality of Zeon, which initiated Operation Rubicon and dispatched its Cyclops team special forces unit to stop the EFF from completing and deploying the new Gundam.

The Gundam Alex also mounted protective Chobham armor pieces, and an alternate plan mounted different armor and weapons as the F A-78NT-1 Full Armor Alex. Another feature adding to the Gundam Alex's maneuverability was the magnetic coating applied to the suit's joints and motors, reducing friction and wear to almost nothing and making the Gundam Alex extremely responsive to pilot input. This configuration gave the pilot an almost unlimited field of vision, thus allowing for easier target acquisition and faster response time. Incorporating a 360-degree panoramic monitor screen around the pilot, all of the Gundam Alex's controls were incorporated into panels mounted on the pilot's linear seat. The Gundam Alex also replaced the costly and complicated Core Block System of the original Gundam with an experimental new type of cockpit. In addition to the standard head vulcan guns, beam sabers and a beam rifle, the Gundam Alex mounted a 90mm Gatling gun in each forearm, giving the mobile suit heavy close-range firepower to back up its beam rifle. The RX-78NT-1 Gundam NT-1 Alex was a big step above its already-well-performing (but hopelessly overworked) RX-78-2 predecessor. To correct this problem, the EFF set out to develop a new Gundam prototype (code-named Alex) capable of taking advantage of a Newtype's quick-reacting abilities. Gundam pilot Amuro Ray was an emerging Newtype, and his abilities to predict enemy movements and respond with lightning-fast reflexes were simply pushing the Gundam beyond its design limits. Late during the One Year War, the Earth Federation Forces realized that they had a major problem with their prototype RX-78-2 Gundam close combat mobile suit: its pilot.
