===TV series, films, and video===
Except for ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00'', which follows the [[Common Era|current calendar era]] albeit three centuries in the future, all ''Gundam'' series are set in a fictional era, with a new calendar adopted after a drastic event or chain of events and typically involve a major conflict involving Earth and space colonies (and in some cases the Moon and [[Terraforming|terraformed]] planets).{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} An exception is the ''Gundam Build'' timeline, which is set in an alternate present time where all other ''Gundam'' installments are fictional.

Entries marked in '''bold''' are considered the franchise's mainline installments.

===Manga and novels===
{{Main|List of Gundam manga and novels}}

Manga adaptations of the ''Gundam'' series have been published in English in North America by a number of companies, such as [[Viz Media]], [[Del Rey Manga]] and [[Tokyopop]], and in [[Singapore]] by [[Chuang Yi]]. Notable entries include Gundam the Origin, written and drawn by original series character designer [[Yoshikazu Yasuhiko]]. It is a retelling of the first series with additional flashbacks surrounding one of the series main character's Char Aznable. 

===Video games===
{{Main|List of Gundam video games}}
''Gundam'' has spawned over 80 video games for arcade, computer and console platforms, some with characters not found in other ''Gundam'' media. Some of the games, in turn, inspired spinoff novels and manga.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/altjapan-co-ltd/list-games/|title=MobyGames: Game Browser|website=MobyGames|access-date=October 27, 2016|archive-date=February 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220212085620/https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/altjapan-co-ltd/list-games/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==={{anchor|Gundam model}}Gunpla===
{{Main|Gunpla}}

Primarily made of plastic, but sometimes paired with resin and metal detail parts, hundreds of Gundam [[scale model|scale plastic model]]s, aka Gunpla, have been released. They range in quality from toolless-build children's toy kits (Entry Grades) to hobbyist and museum-grade models, and most are in common scales such as  1:35, 1:48, 1:60, 1:100 or 1:144 scale. Various Grades exist to target hobbyists, ranging from smaller sized kits such as High Grade and Real Grade, to larger Master Grade and finally Perfect Grade model kits. The Real Grade (RG) Gundam series combined the Master Grade's detailed inner structure with additional colour separation, making the 1:144-scale series complex in design and compact in size, with the final goal of retooling a Gundam to what they might would look like in real life, similar to the real-life Gundam Front Tokyo RX-78-02.

Promotional 1:6 or 1:12 scale models are supplied to retailers and are not commercially available. For ''Gundam''{{'s}} 30th anniversary, a full-size RX-78-2 Gundam model was constructed and displayed at Gundam Front Tokyo, in the Odaiba district;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://appetiteforjapan.com/2015/12/02/gundam-odaiba/|title=Diver City Tokyo: the ultimate Gundam experience|last=appetiteforjapan|date=December 2, 2015|website=Appetite For Japan|access-date=March 3, 2017}}</ref> it was taken down on March 5, 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.gundam.info/topic/17012|script-title=ja:「実物大ガンダム立像」5年の歴史に幕。そして新たなプロジェクトへ！|work=公式ガンダム情報ポータルサイト「GUNDAM.INFO」|access-date=April 12, 2017|language=ja}}</ref> A new statue of the Unicorn Gundam was erected at the same location, now renamed The Gundam Base Tokyo.

===Other merchandise===
[[Bandai]], ''Gundam''{{'s}} primary licensee, produces a variety of products.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://na.gundam.info/index/white|title=GUNDAM.INFO {{!}} The official Gundam news and video portal|website=na.gundam.info|language=ja-JP|access-date=October 27, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026105446/http://na.gundam.info/index/white|archive-date=October 26, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Other companies produce unofficial merchandise, such as toys, models and T-shirts. Products include Mobile Suit In Action (MSiA) action figures and Gundam model kits in several scales and design complexities. Each series generally has its own set of products, MSiA and model lines such as Master Grade and High Grade Universal Century may extend across series. The most popular action-figure line has been the Gundam Fix series, which includes the mecha in the animated series, manga and novels and accessories to create an updated version. In addition to Master Grade and High Grade Gundams, Bandai released a 30th-anniversary series of Gundam models in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|last=Suzuki|first=Toshiyuki|title=RX-78-2 Gundam (RG) (Gundam Model Kits)|url=http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10115841|publisher=Hobby Search Co., Ltd.|access-date=August 12, 2013|archive-date=September 27, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927042523/http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10115841|url-status=dead}}</ref> After the introduction of the RG Gunpla line, Bandai released the Metal Build series in March 2011 (beginning with the 00 Gundam).<ref name="Gundam metal build">{{cite web|title=METAL BUILD FREEDOM GUNDAM|url=http://www.gundamplanet.com/metal-build-freedom-gundam.html|publisher=Gundamplanet.com|access-date=August 12, 2013|archive-date=August 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130802034225/http://www.gundamplanet.com/metal-build-freedom-gundam.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Internet===
{{unreferenced section|date=November 2023}}
Bandai maintains several websites to promote ''Gundam'' projects; Gundam Perfect Web is the official Japanese site. Its English-language counterpart is the US-maintained Gundam Official. In 2005, the website hosted the Gundam Official User Forum. The forum was based on the existing fan forum, Gundam Watch, using many of its staff. When the project was retired, Gundam Watch was reborn and became Gundam Evolution.

A number of series-specific websites have been created, often available for a limited time (usually to promote a [[DVD]] release). Common content includes character and mecha listings, lists of related merchandise and pay-for-download content. Special pages are frequent, often presenting downloadable wallpaper or a small game. The ''[[Superior Defender Gundam Force]]'' website has a game in which players take the role of villain Commander Sazabi, attempting to blast his subordinate with weapons.
