No, technically 08th MS Team was the first.

It may technically be "limited" production given there was only (approximately) 20 Ground Combat Gundams, but they were the first to see a good production number of the prototype Gundam they're based on.

I think the same can probably be said for the Victory Gundam Hexas too since I doubt they'd be able to full mass produce large quantities of slightly better Victory Gundams complete with the Minovsky Flight System and everything. Only some of the Shrike Aces and others had them anyway while others had Gun-EZs or Gunblasters.

And the docking part was actually quite nice when you think about it because it allowed Uso to be innovative in tough times. If they were ONLY used for docking or replacing, then it'd be a bit boring since it'd be nothing more than a more glorified RX-78-2 on-screen. This allowed the Victory/Victory 2 to do fancy maneuvers with them while still keeping it "realistic" in ways, lol. Not to mention they had plenty of upper and lower bodies to spare.
