The Gundam X is a Gundam-type Mobile Suit in the series After War Gundam X.
Technical and Combat Informations
The most powerful Gundam-type mobile suit developed by the United Nations Earth during the end of the 7th Space War, the Gundam X is the only Gundam equipped with a Satellite Cannon, which is capable of destroying a space colony with a single shot. To use the weapon a Newtype must use the Flash System of the suit to contact the lunar station on the moon to receive the energy in form of a microwave beam. As another safety measure the Satellite System and the suit at large can only be activated by a removeable G-Controller.
Like the other UNE Gundams, the Flash System of the Gundam X can be used to control a large number of Bit Mobile Suits in the GX' case the FX-9900 GX-Bit.
Besides the satellite cannon, the Gundam X is also equipped with a standard set of weapons including a large beam sword, four breast mounted vulcan guns and a shield buster rifle, which, as its name implies, doubles as a shield as well as a beam rifle. The Vultures which have salvaged Gundam X units also added optional armament to the suit, including f.e. a holster shield of a buster sheath rifle.
History
Developed by the old UNE at the end of the 7th Space War, the Gundam X, along with the other Gundam-type units was used to prevent the mass colony drop of the Space Revolutionary Army from happening. One of the GX units in this battle was piloted by 15-year-old Newtype pilot Jamil Neate, who used his suit and GX-Bits to destroy one of the colonies moving towards Earth. This however only triggers the colony drop. At the end of the battle Jamil fights his rival Lancerow Dawell in his MAN-002 Febral mobile armor. During this battle Jamil's Gundam X is critically damaged although Jamil survives. This GX is later salvaged by the New UNE and parts of it are used in the construction of the new GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X.
In A.W. 15, an intact Gundam X was discovered by Garrod Ran in a abandoned UNE facility, while fleeing with Newtype girl Tiffa Adill from a mysterious man named Rantu. However, he was unable to activate the Gundam initially, due to the missing G-Controller. However, during the initial of Rantu and his men in their DT-6800A Daughtress units on the inert Gundam, the G-Controller that Garrod Ran had stolen from the safe of Jamil Neate, now captain of the Vulture ship Freeden, tumbled out of his jacket. With the controller in place, Garrod Ran was able to activate the Gundam and the pursuing forces.
The Gundam X would remain Garrod Ran's private machine, until his first combat encounter with artificial Newtype Carris Nautilus's RMSN-008 Bertigo resulted in the critical damage of the Gundam. With the MS's Satellite Cannon destroyed beyond repair, Kid Salsamille, Chief Mechanic on board the Freeden, repaired and upgraded the Gundam X into the GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider.
In A.W. 0024, another intact black Gundam X unit was discovered in the Sea of Lorelei, inside a sunken submarine that has been resting on the ocean floor since the 7th Space War, by Vulture pilot Rick Aller. Much to their surprise, he and Rosa the Second discover that the original pilot has been kept in a state of suspended animation inside the cockpit of the black Gundam X unit. After being damaged by Kai's GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor, this Gundam X got repainted closer to the standard color scheme. The satellite cannon, which Rick was unable to activate, became an optional weapon. Its shield buster rifle got modified into a holster shield, which can separate the buster sheath rifle from shield part. The buster sheath rifle also mounts a beam sword.
