Background Information:
The anime series Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (機動戦士ガンダム 第08MS小隊, Kidō Senshi Gandamu Dai Zerohachi Emu Esu Shōtai) is a twelve-episode Gundam OVA series that takes place during the One Year War, and depicts the point of view of the common soldier rather than that of the Newtype aces. The series takes place concurrently with the original Mobile Suit Gundam, therefore, in terms of the timeline, 08th MS Team begins after the start of Mobile Suit Gundam and ends before the television series culminates.
Widely regarded as the best starter series for Gundam Universal Century, The 08th MS Team is the most realistic Gundam series to date.
Standing in the Battledome:
It doesn't rank very high in the Gundam power scale, as the show mainly focuses on the grunts during the One Year War outfitted with the RX-79(G) Gundam Ground Type. But the strongest mecha appearing is the Apsalus series Mobile Armor which is equipped with a Mega Particle Cannon with island level+ DC.
