Project V (short of "Project Victory"), developed a program that would produce several Federation battle mech designs for mass-production. The engineers in the project tested several design concepts for the mass-production units in the RX-77 series. Some of the developments in the RX-77 models were successful, others not so much. As with the 78 many were scrapped due to cost and/or complexity.
The variation among the Glaabrezus was originally indicated by differences in long range weapons and other externally-visible upgrades. For example, Unit 2's NT-7 configuration have paired 120mm Vulcan Cannons, additional armor, and a 360 degree panoramic cockpit, while Unit 5 and Unit 6 provide shoulder mounting points for weaponry and a back pod for ammunition.
The Glaabrezu series was among the first battle mechs to introduce Minovsky particle weaponry, developing and deploying the first long range beam cannon. Some of the variations of artillery armaments include linked Howitzer anti-emplacement guns firing shells the size of trash cans several miles. A single counterbalanced 60mm rail-gun, Gauss weapon which fires a relatively-small shell at several times the speed of sound and penetrate the strongest armor and emplacement defensive structures made by man. And finally, a pair of 90mm Vulcan Cannons capable of a very high rate of fire--around 100 rounds per second which are fantastic for anti-aircraft applications and absolutley levelling a small town or village, although not as capable of long range bombardment
