The GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is a prototype multi-mode mobile suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Its primary pilot was Kira Yamato before it was passed down to former mobile armor ace pilot, Mu La Flaga.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is the most versatile of the five Gundams in the Earth Alliance's G Project and can be easily configured for various types of combat. Using its Striker Packs, it can be outfitted for high mobility combat (Aile Strike), long-range assault (Launcher Strike), or melee combat (Sword Strike). In addition, the Striker packs are also equipped with backup batteries that can extend the Strike's operation time. Built on the X100 series frame first adopted by the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam, the Strike also has the Phase Shift armor system. In terms of armament, the Strike itself is equipped only with two head-mounted CIWS and a pair of combat knives stored in the side skirt armor, but it can also be armed with a bazooka, a shield, and a beam rifle. Later on, the Strike Gundam was equipped with a Natural-use OS to allow its new pilot, Mu La Flaga, to control the suit effectively.[1]

Armaments[]

  • "Igelstellung" 75mm Automatic Multi-barrel CIWS
Anti-aircraft defense cannons mounted on both sides of the head. These light projectile weapons are used to intercept missiles, to destroy lightly armored vehicles, etc.
  • "Armor Schneider" Combat Knife
Stored in the Strike's side skirt armor are a pair of folding "Armor Schneider" combat knives. These knives do not need power from the suit, can be thrown, and their blades vibrate at high speed allowing them to pierce through most armor except PS armor.
  • 57mm High-energy Beam Rifle
The Strike's primary ranged weapon, it can be stored on the side skirt armor, and can easily destroy a ZGMF-1017 GINN with one shot, but is mostly ineffective against suits with anti-beam coating. It has an additional handle that can shift to the side and is often used for extra stability when the Strike is firing its rifle rapidly.
  • Bazooka
An optional ranged weapon, the bazooka fires explosive shells and is loaded with four magazines. As it is a conventional weapon, it does not draw power from the Strike's battery and this results in extended combat endurance. Another advantage is that the bazooka can be used underwater, unlike a beam rifle. The disadvantage of the weapon is that its greater size and weight makes it somewhat less mobile than the beam rifle. In the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Re:, the Bazooka had an alternate Shrapnel munition.
  • Shield
A piece of equipment designed to increase the Strike's defensive capability, it is mounted on the left forearm and/or handheld. The shield does not have Phase Shift armor, so it is not as durable as the Strike's armor, but it also does not drain energy each time it is hit. The shield's major advantage is that it is anti-beam coated and can block or deflect beam weapon attacks, against which phase shift armor is ineffective. The same shield is also used by GAT-X102 Duel Gundam and other mobile suits.
  • XM404 "Grand Slam" Anti-Ship Sword
A large sword developed by ZAFT, but used by the Strike to take down enemy mobile suits[2].
  • MMI-M100 190mm Anti-aircraft Shotgun
A weapon picked up from a wrecked AMF-101 DINN and used to destroy the UMF-4A GOOhN[3].
  • Saber for Mock Battle
Equipment used in a mock battle with the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam[1].

Special Equipment & Features[]

The key feature of the Strike Gundam is its ability to equip additional equipment in the form of Striker Packs. Each Striker Pack is designed to outfit the Strike with the equipment needed to fulfill specific combat roles with maximum efficiency.
As with all of the G Project mobile suits, the Strike is equipped with Phase Shift armor. When this armor is activated, the Strike's color changed from a light grey to a white scheme with a bit of blue and red mixed in. The Phase Shift armor renders the Strike immune to physical attacks such as bullets, sword slashes, missiles, etc. However, Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance, and uses up additional energy when it is hit.

History[]

To counter ZAFT's advanced mobile suits during the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Earth Alliance's Atlantic Federation secretly collaborated with Morgenroete to develop their own series of mobile suits under the G Project. On January 25, CE 71, five prototype suits were secretly rolled out at the space colony Heliopolis. However, ZAFT became aware of these machines, and infiltrated the colony, leading to the Battle of Heliopolis, where they stole four of the mobile suits. The only machine to remain out of ZAFT's hands was the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, which was first piloted by EA lieutenant Murrue Ramius, and then by a civilian Coordinator named Kira Yamato. Kira rewrote the Strike's incomplete operating system to fight at its full effectiveness and used the mobile suit in battle against the invading ZAFT forces.[4] However, he could not prevent the destruction of the colony. Following this battle, the Strike was entrusted to Kira. Thus, Kira joined the crew of the Archangel and fought against the pursuing ZAFT forces during its journey to Earth.

During the Archangel's journey to the Earth Alliance's JOSH-A base in Alaska, Kira battled and defeated several ZAFT ace pilots, including Andrew Waltfeld and his TMF/A-803 LaGOWE during the Battle of Talbadiya[5] and the ZAFT Reds who piloted the four stolen Gundams during the First Battle near Orb.[6] On April 17, Kira fought an intense battle against his former friend Athrun Zala in his GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam at the Battle of the Marshall Islands.[7] During the battle, the Strike was severely damaged by the Aegis Gundam's self-destruction, however, its remains were salvaged by the Orb Union. Kira himself was rescued by Junk Guild member Lowe Guele and brought to PLANT, where he stole the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam with the help of Lacus Clyne.[8]

Orb eventually rebuilt the Strike from the damaged remains and loaded it with the newly developed Natural-use OS. Following the defection of the Archangel crew who sought refuge at Orb in early June, the Strike became the personal mobile suit of ace pilot Mu La Flaga. Mu's Strike sparred with Kira's Freedom and was also involved in the Battle of Orb to protect the country against the Earth Alliance's invasion.[9] During the Battle of Mendel, Mu used the Launcher Strike in the battle against his long-time rival Rau Le Creuset, who was piloting the new ZGMF-600 GuAIZ mobile suit. Unfortunately, the Launcher Strike faired poorly against the GuAIZ and was damaged in the battle.[10] During the Second Battle of Jachin Due, the Aile Strike was heavily damaged by the superior ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam piloted by Rau, forcing Mu to retreat to the Archangel. Before he could enter the ship, he protected the Archangel from a positron blast from the EA ship Dominion. The positron blast destroyed the Aile Strike, but Mu managed to survive the attack.[11]

Legacy[]

During the war, the Orb Union also developed their own mobile suit based on the Strike, called the MBF-02 Strike Rouge, which was piloted by Cagalli Yula Athha and deployed during the Second Battle of Jachin Due.[12][11] After the war, as part of the "Actaeon Project" MS development plan, at least one other Strike was re-manufactured. This unit was piloted by Phantom Pain pilot, Sven Cal Bayang, and had darker phase-shifted colors to better balance energy consumption and armor strength. Sven's Strike was usually in the form of the GAT-X105+P202QX Strike Gundam IWSP, which was later upgraded to the more powerful GAT-X105E Strike E, and subsequently, the GAT-X105E Strike Noir Gundam.

Due to the Strike's successful design, it became the archetype for several of the Earth Alliance's mass-produced mobile suits, such as the GAT-01 Strike Dagger.[1] ZAFT also took notice of the Strike's Striker Pack system and created a similar system called "Wizard System" for their new ZAKU series mobile suits.[13]

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Strike's head crest displays the text "CINQUE X-105". "Cinque" means "Five" in Italian and is likely a reference to the suit being the fifth unit developed under the Earth Alliance's "G Project".
  • The "Grand Slam" Anti-Ship Sword is included in the Perfect Grade model kit of Strike Gundam and Master Grade kit of Strike Gundam IWSP.
  • A number of models have shown that Strike can combine with the Aile, Sword, and Launcher Striker Packs at the same time. This form is later officially termed Perfect Strike Gundam in the HD Remaster version of Gundam SEED in which it makes its animated debut. It is said to be the original concept behind the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam and the inspiration for the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam.
