Data Evolution:This book, published by Bandai in October 1989, is the second of two volumes devoted to Mobile Suit Gundam 0080. In all honesty, it's of minor importance, and is noteworthy for only two things...
The One Year War timeline in the front of this book is a refined version of the Gundam U.C. Chronology previously published in Newtype magazine. In turn, it was the basis for the English-language timeline in the art book MS Era, which was published by Bandai in March 1990.
The book also features a detailed chart of mobile suit specifications, based on those in Gundam Century and Entertainment Bible 1. These are the most detailed specs ever published for these machines, and they appear to have been the model for those used in Gundam 0083. I've reproduced the specs chart on this page.

Translator's Note: Aside from the official Gundam 0080 mobile suit specs, all the specifications in this chart are derived from Entertainment Bible 1, with additional information such as thruster outputs, land speeds, and 180-degree attitude change times. The format of the chart seems to be inspired by those in Gundam Century.
