The Shuffle Heart is a transformable mobile fighter operated by the Shuffle Alliance. It was originally piloted by Master Asia.
Overview[]
Master Asia, prior to his defection from the Shuffle Alliance, rode an alliance-specific MF. It was capable of agile movements that could follow the movements of Master Asia, who had mastered the school of the "Undefeated of the East," and it was the best machine in the alliance in close combat. The head extending to the left and right forms a silhouette similar to the head of the Master Gundam, which Master Asia would later board. In flight, it transforms into a figure that resembles a heart symbol. Thrusters were also installed on the valve-shaped stabilizer, which seemed to help improve maneuverability. It features a figure with the parts that form the outline of a heart flowing down its back like a cloak. Excluding this part, the shape of the machine itself is quite simple and can accurately reproduce the master's martial arts. It was truly a machine befitting the former leader of the Shuffle Alliance.
Armaments[]
- Beam Cannon
- A beam cannon built into the tip of the valve-shaped stabilizer. In "Build Fighters," it is detached and used as a beam saber.
- Heart Cloth
- A cloth-like weapon generated by a beam. It is generated by the Mobile Trace System in conjunction with Master Asia's waist cloth in the cockpit. In addition to cutting targets like a beam saber, it can also entangle enemy machines.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Mobile Trace System
- A piloting system for controlling mobile fighters. Normally, a pilot suit with nanomachines woven into it called a fighting suit is worn, but Master Asia wears normal clothes with fighting suit functions built in, according to his own preference. This is a technology used in the early Gundam Fights, and even though it is an early technology, it perfectly traces the master's movements.
Special Attacks[]
- Heartful Finger
- A special move using a fist imbued with divine energy. When activated, the finger hip joints are extended to expose a heart-shaped slit. Energy is released, including a similar slit in the palm, and the palm, covered in energy waves, crushes the enemy.
- Sekiha Tenkyouken
- The strongest and last technique of the school of the "Undefeated of the East". This technique borrows the power of nature and launches it as a qigong projectile in the form of a fist.
History[]
The Kowloon Gundam piloted by Master Asia in the 12th Gundam Fight is said to have been built from the wreckage of the Shuffle Heart, but the truth is unknown.
