The Gunperry was a general-purpose transport aircraft used by the Earth Federation Forces. It featured three rotors which granted VTOL capability, allowing the Gunperry to take off without a runway, while four jet engines provided propulsion. Up to 12 people could be seated in the fuselage. A detachable container that opened was mounted on the bottom of the craft. This container was primarily used to carry a mobile suit or the RX-78-2 Gundam's components. However, it could also be used to transport personnel. Six large missiles could also be mounted on the sides of the container. The Gunperry could be stored in a Pegasus-class ship such as the SCV-70 White Base, and the two propellers on the sides were folded upward when the Gunperry was stowed.
The Gunperry aboard the White Base was put to a variety of uses throughout the course of the One Year War. The first thing the crew of the white base did when the fielded the Gunperry was to blast a hole in the side of it, this in an attempt to fool the forces of Garma Zabi, during the brief cease fire between the White Base and Garma.
