The MRX-009 Psyco Gundam is a fictional weapon (transformable mobile armor) from the anime series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. The Psyco (Psychic Control) Gundam was massive compared to standard Mobile Suits. It had enough firepower for it to literally act as a battleship.

This huge transformable mobile armor, was developed by the Murasame Newtype Lab for use by their artificially-enhanced Cyber-Newtypes. The Murasame Lab's original goal was simply to equip a Gundam with a psycommu system, the psychic interface developed by Zeon scientists during the One Year War. However, the sheer bulk of this device - and the addition of features like a Minovsky craft flotation system, a protective anti-beam barrier, and complex transformation mechanisms - resulted in the Psyco Gundam becoming a forty-meter monster. As well as its immense firepower, the Psyco Gundam houses a more subtle weapon... a combat system which overrides its pilot's will and forces her to fight.

This transformable mobile armor, an improved version of the original Psyco Gundam, is theoretically the most powerful mobile weapon in the entire Earth Sphere. However, the Psyco Gundam Mk.II enters battle in an incomplete state, unable to transform into its "mobile fortress" form or deploy its full range of fighting capabilities, and its performance is further hampered by the mental instability of its pilot. In theory, the Psyco Gundam Mk.II can deploy remote-controlled "reflector bits" to redirect its beam fire towards its targets, and the beam swords in its wire-guided detachable forearms make it equally dangerous in close combat. Another feature carried over from previous Newtype-use Zeon mobile weapons was its detachable head, which - in a fashion similar to the MSN-02 Zeong - could be flown and operated independently in the case of jettison or destruction of the Psyco Gundam Mark II's main body. Piloted by the powerful cyber Newtype Rosamia Badam, all of these factors made the Psyco Gundam Mark II a much, much deadlier foe for AEUG Zeta Gundam pilot Kamille Bidan than the original Psyco Gundam ever was, though he did manage to critically damage it during a battle at the Gate of Zedan late during the Gryps War. Almost a year later, Neo Zeon forces would retrieve the wreckage of the Psyco Gundam Mark II and rebuild it, employing it at the hands of their own Cyber Newtype pilot, Ple Two, in their war against the AEUG.

This version of the Psyco Gundam is a version that was designed specifically for the Playstation game 'Gundam: The Battle Master'. It also appeared in the sequel (The North American 'Gundam Battle Assault', or simply 'Gundam: The Battle Master 2' in Japan). It does not fit in with any of the canon timelines since it is theoretically a UC design but is piloted by the AC pilot Valder Farkill (the pilot of the Hydra Gundam --- which is instead piloted by Treize Khushrenada in Battle Assault --- in the Gundam Wing manga G-Unit: The Last Outpost.); In the original The Battle Master 2, however, it is piloted by a Newtype woman named Maria Nichols. Maria is also playable in the Playstation SD Gundam: G-Generation F game after the Mk. III's design is researched.

The Psyco Mk-III also featured in the sequel game 'Gundam Battle Assault 2' where is was piloted by another AU pilot, Ulube Ishikawa (from Mobile Fighter G Gundam).
