GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor

The GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor is a Mobile Suit from the manga After War Gundam X:Under the Moonlight.

Technological Informations
The Gundam Belphagor was designed as a Newtype-use mobile suit to defeat other Newtypes. To accomplish this the Belphagor was equipped with a Flash System similar to other United Nations Earth Gundams which however didn't allow the Newtype pilot to control Bit Mobile Suits but afford the pilot a finer level of control over the MS. However there was one major flaw in the Gundam's construction: when flying at high-speed, the pilot faced incredible G-forces, thus putting his life in danger even outside of battles.

Combat Abilities
The Belphagor features a number of special weapons, which would help the pilot in its mission to defeat other Newtype pilots. Its wrists mount a set of heat wires that were intended to destroy bit-type weapons, such as those used by the SRA's RMSN-008 Bertigo. Its arms were also constructed to be able to expand outwards into large claws, each mounting a powerful beam sword inside. These claw arms also had built-in beam cannons that could be used when the claw arms still fold on its shoulder, and could also function as large beam sabers. The Gundam Belphagor also has a pair of powerful atomic scissors mounted on its knees. Finally, it features a chest-mounted sonic smasher cannon, which was an early version of the NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago's megasonic cannon.

History
Created by the UNE during the 7th Space War, there are not many details known about the Gundam Belphagor. What is known however is the fact, that an unknown number of this Gundam-type worked so well in ground battles, that it prevented the SRA from launching a full-scale invasion of Earth. In the After War era, the Belphagor was used by the New UNE as the basis for their new Gundam models, the NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago and NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron.

At least one Gundam Belphagor survived until AW 0024, when it was found by a group of Vultures. This Gundam was later piloted by a mysterious Newtype named Kai, who used it to fight against the Vultures.
