The Gundam Blossom was an experimental mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics at the lunar city of Von Braun as part of the Gundam Development Project. It has a Core Block System that utilizes the newly developed FF-X(7)II Core Booster II. During the One Year War, the original FF-X7-Bst Core Booster was designed to increase the Core Fighter's combat performance, but it could not dock with any mobile suit. The developers of the Gundam Blossom liked the increased mobility that the Core Booster could offer if it can dock with a mobile suit and designed the Core Booster II to achieve that objective.

The Gundam Blossom is designed to be multifunctional and can carry various experimental equipment such as the long-range beam rifle and the Minovsky Particle Interference Wave Searcher (MPIWS) on the Core Booster II's drum frames, which are located on the back of the Gundam Blossom after docking. The Gundam Blossom also has a pair of beam sabers, also a part of the Core Booster II, but not attached to the drum frame. Using this long-range attack loadout, which causes the machine to be categorized as E.F.S.F. Attack Use Prototype Mobile Suit, the Gundam Blossom was deployed on a patrol mission and destroyed in combat against Zeon remnants forces. Thankfully, the Gundam Blossom's data survived and was recovered.

Analysis of the recovered data indicated that the loadout caused weight balance issues, making piloting difficult. It was also discovered that the Gundam Blossom's multifunctional design caused a lot of stress for its pilot, thus the later four models of the Gundam Development Project all have their own unique function.
