Please note that this is the Gundam Wiki's article on the GX-9900 Gundam X; if you are looking for the article on the TV series itself, then you should head to After War Gundam X.

The GX-9900 Gundam X (also known as GX) is a limited production mobile suit built by the United Nations Earth, and the titular mobile suit of After War Gundam X. Its pilot include Jamil Neate and Garrod Ran. Another slightly different unit appeared in the manga sequel, After War Gundam X: Under the Moonlight, and is piloted by Rick Aller.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The GX-9900 Gundam X was a Gundam Type mobile suit - a decisive battle weapon developed by United Nations Earth, equipped with the Flash System.[1][2] Its greatest weapon was the Satellite Cannon, a beam cannon with enough power to destroy a space colony with a single shot, powered by Super Microwave (SMW) launched from a solar power facility on the lunar surface. Power from the SMW was stored in the backpack and a series of energy conductors spread all over the GX's body, and the backpack could also provide energy for the Gundam's other weapons, such as beam sword and rifle. Because of this, when conducting combat without firing the Satellite Cannon, the Gundam X could continue fighting for up to a week without resupplying.[2]

The Gundam X's other key feature was the Flash System, which enhanced the thought waves of Newtypes. This system was used to access the SMW facility and conduct the initial registration of the Satellite System. It could also be used to control unmanned mobile suits known as G-Bits, with the Gundam X capable of simultaneously controlling up to 12 FX-9900 GX-Bits - a type of Satellite System-equipped Bit.[2] With these Bits, the Gundam X was able to employ a variety of team tactics and adapt to all types of combat situations. Overall, the Gundam X was a very versatile mobile suit, with top class combat ability in sea, land, air, and space. However, a key device known as G-Controller was needed to operate the mobile suit. This device served as the activation and control key for the Gundam, as well as the trigger for the Satellite Cannon.[2]

Armaments[]

  • Satellite Cannon
Originally an ultra-high output cannon developed as a colony destruction weapon, it was miniaturized for use by mobile suits. When used, energy from the Super Microwave (SMW) launched from a solar power facility on the lunar surface was concentrated in the reflectors on the GX's back before being fired by the cannon, causing widespread destruction in an instant. It was said that the cannon could fire two to three shots after being fully charged by the SMW. In the past, there existed multiple SMW relay facilities in lunar orbit. However, by A.W. 0015, they have all been destroyed or rendered inoperable, making the weapon only usable when the moon was visible.[2]
  • Shield Buster Rifle
The GX's main armament. The Shield Buster Rifle was a unique weapon that could switch between rifle mode and shield mode. To function as a shield, this weapon's toughness was three times that of other mobile suit firearms. The Shield Buster Rifle could recharge using energy from the Satellite System by plugging into the right bottom side of the backpack.[2]
  • Large Beam Sword
Stored at the base of the Satellite Cannon, the Large Beam Sword was the GX's main close-range weapon. Since it used energy from the SMW, its output was extremely high, capable of slicing a mobile suit in half.[2]
  • Breast Vulcan
Four Vulcan Guns built into the chest below the intakes. Used for direct assault at close-quarters and for restraining and intimidating enemies at medium range.[2]
  • Shoulder Vulcan
A small, optional, 4-barrel gatling gun type weapon for Earth-based combat, it is mounted on a hardpoint located on the upper left corner of the backpack, and has a wide angle of fire due to the rotatable mount.[2]
  • Holster Shield
Based on the Shield Buster Rifle, it is essentially the shield separated and semi-fixed on the left arm. It is possible to store the Buster Sheath Rifle within the shield. It is equipped on Rick Aller's unit.
  • Geneion Shield
A modified form of the Holster Shield that features a claw arm.
  • Buster Sheath Rifle
Based on the Shield Buster Rifle, it is essentially the rifle portion separated and enlarged to function solely as a gun. It is equipped on Rick Aller's unit, and a beam sword is stored in the back of the rifle.
  • Buster Sheath Rifle Kai
An improvement of the Buster Sheath Rifle that features two barrels. It can fire two beams with different speeds simultaneously.
  • Hyper Bazooka
A weapon capable of firing torpedoes and a wide variety of other ammunition.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Reflector Unit
Equipped on the back of Gundam X, the Reflector Unit consisted of four large panels - Receiver Devices - that unfold into an X-shape when the Satellite Cannon is activated. The panels have a honeycomb structure and can store energy from the SMW for the cannon's use. They can also release the energy directly, generating a repulsive force that can be used for propulsion. When utilized in this manner, the unfolded panels face backwards, resulting in a flight form known as "Hovering Mode". It is possible to control the speed and posture in this mode by changing the angle of the panels and the satellite cannon's barrel, and high-speed, long-range jumps can also be performed.[2]

History[]

Developed by the United Nations Earth close to the end of the 7th Space War, the GX-9900 Gundam X, along with the other Gundam-type units were used in an attempt to prevent the mass colony drop by the Space Revolutionary Army. One of the Gundam X in this battle was piloted by 15-year-old Newtype pilot Jamil Neate, who used it and the FX-9900 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 fought his rival Lancerow Dawell in his MAN-002 Febral. During this battle, Jamil's Gundam X lost its left arm and head, and Jamil also lost his Newtype abilities. This Gundam X was later salvaged by the New United Nations Earth, with its parts and data used in the construction of the new GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X.

In A.W. 0015, an intact Gundam X was discovered by Garrod Ran in an abandoned UNE facility, while fleeing with Newtype girl Tiffa Adill from a mysterious man named Reich Anto in his DT-6800C Daughtress Command and two accomplices in a DT-6800A Daughtress and DT-6800W Daughtress Weapon. However, Garrod was unable to activate the Gundam due to the G-Controller being missing. Remembering that he stole a control stick from Jamil Neate's cabin safe earlier, Garrod was able to activate the Gundam X and defeat Reich's team.[3] This Gundam X then became Garrod Ran's private machine, and was later upgraded by Kid Salsamille, Chief Mechanic on board the Freeden, into the GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider after it was severely damaged by the Cyber Newtype Carris Nautilus and his RMSN-008 Bertigo.[4]

After the 8th Space War, the Gundam X Divider was restored to its original form using parts gathered from various research facilities as well as some newly created parts. The restored Gundam X, dubbed "Unit 3", has its operating efficiency increased by 30% due to a more efficient generator.[5] Using the Unit 3, Garrod worked with Carris' GNR-0008C Gundam Nouvelle to stop bandits from stealing the medicine known as "Recoverin" from a train.[6]

In A.W. 0024, a different Gundam X painted in black was discovered in the Sea of Lorelei, inside a sunken Trieste-class that was resting on the ocean floor since the end of the 7th Space War, by Vulture pilot Rick Aller and Rosa the Second. Much to their surprise, they discovered that the original pilot had been kept in a state of suspended animation inside the Gundam's cockpit. The pilot, Kai, later abandoned the Gundam X due to circumstances, and Rick took it for his own. After being damaged by Kai's GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor, this Gundam X was repainted closer to the standard Gundam color scheme by Mana. The satellite cannon, which Rick was unable to activate, became an optional weapon. Its shield buster rifle was modified into two weapons: the holster shield and the buster sheath rifle.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Despite being made 17 years after the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the Gundam X sports the ambient (possibly, APU) hum that is identical to those of the RX-78-2 Gundam when starting up. This makes it one of the few Gundams that have noise when not in motion.
  • Although a default unit in the PSP game Gundam Vs. Gundam Next+, Gundam X was removed in the sequel Gundam Extreme Vs. It makes a return as a DLC unit in Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost and once again as a default unit in Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost.
    • In Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON, the Gundam X has a Charge Move where it can summon 2 GX-Bits to attack its enemy.
  • Gundam X (Combined with G-Falcon) first appeared in SD Gundam G Generation F video game.
    • This combination never appear in future sequels after F.I.F.
  • According to a comment by Kunio Okawara, Gundam X's Large Beam Sword is based on Sasaki Kojiro's sword while the Satellite Cannon's barrel acts as a sheath.
