Like the later GNZ series machine, the GRM Gundam was eventually upgraded with the ability to use Trans-Am System. The later GNZ series machines also got rid of or hid the Gundam-like features that can be seen on the GRM Gundam, and this was done in consideration that the Innovators would be fighting against Celestial Being as members of the A-Laws. The foldable feet design is because clashes between GN Drive-type mobile suits are primarily aerial battles, and it seems the GRM Gundam's feet lack this feature because the mobile suit is the first unit in the GNZ series. While the GRM Gundam's feet are of a standard design meant for ground contact, most of the later machines have foldable feet not meant for contacting the ground during normal operations. The shapes of the GRM Gundam's limbs are also similar to the later GNZ series machines', with a major exception being the feet.


Other features of the GRM Gundam seen in the subsequent GNZ series machines included the line sensor on the forehead and the GN Condensers built into the shoulders. Additionally, improved version of the GN Mega Launcher and GN Shield would be used by the GNZ-003 Gadessa and the GNZ-005 Garazzo respectively. The GN Vulcans and GN Beam Sabers would be adopted as the standard armament of some of the subsequent GNZ series machines, which were named after the goddesses of Norse mythology. Other weapons included a forearm-mounted GN Shield that can generate a GN Field, two GN Vulcans built into the forearms and two GN Beam Sabers stored in the left and right side skirt armor. The Celestial Being's Gundams were also set as the potential enemy when arming the GRM, as such its main weapon is the large and powerful GN Mega Launcher. From this, it can be seen the Innovators were highly conscious of the upcoming battles against the Celestial Being and its Gundams. The name "GRM" means "Generation of reborn MS", and while spelled differently, it was also named after " Garm", a hound in Norse mythology that watches over the dead in the underworld who are trying to return to the world of the living. Interestingly, the development of the GRM Gundam did not utilize the Gundam Plutone's data directly, instead the data utilized was from the GNY-004B Gundam Plutone Black, a replica of the Plutone made by the Innovators. On the GRM Gundam, this system centered around a detachable backpack, and an improved version would be adopted by most of the subsequent GNZ series machines. In particular, the GRM Gundam employed many technologies originating from one of the second generation Gundams, the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone, most prominently the Core Fighter system that enables the pilot to escape during an emergency. It was developed using design data of the Gundams within the quantum processing system, Veda, which was in the possession of the Innovator, Ribbons Almark, at that time. The GRM Gundam was the prototype and the first mobile suit of the "GNZ Series" (also known as the "Ga Series") dedicated to the Innovades who call themselves Innovators. 4.2 Mobile Suit Gundam 00I Chapter 12 & 13.4.1 Mobile Suit Gundam 00V Vol.018 GNZ-001 GRM Gundam.
