XM-X2 Crossbone Gundam X-2

The Crossbone Gundam X-2 is a mobile suit which appears in the manga Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam.

History
XM-X2, colored entirely in black, was piloted by Zabine Chareaux. Both X1 and X2 were originally equipped with a Zanbuster beam rifle, whose barrel and front handle could separate in a "buster gun" beam rifle, while its rear could separate into a cutlass-like "beam zanber" beam saber, which used two angled I-Fields to slice through other sabers and shields. The XM-X2 was also equipped with a shot lancer.

Zabine eventually defected to the Jupiter Empire. While Zabine's loyalty was tested by the Empire's Interogators, the Jupiter Empire held a gladiator fight between XM-X2 and recently captured Tobia. However, Tobia managed to defeat it by getting into the cockpit of the corefighter and used it to escape. To this end, the Jupiter Empire created a cockpit and X-shaped thrusters that were permanently attached to the mobile suit, as well as mounting additional thrusters, leading to the creation of the XM-X2 Crossbone Gundam X-2 Kai.
