The '''GX-9900 Gundam X''' (aka '''Gundam X''', '''GX''', '''X''') is a mass-produced [[mobile suit]] built by the former [[United Nations Earth]] in ''[[After War Gundam X]]''. There are two feature versions of Gundam X. The primary featured one was piloted by [[Garrod Ran]] and later to [[Jamil Neate]]. It was later badly damaged in combat and was repaired and rebuilt as [[GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider]].
 +
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]].
−  
−
The second one was featured in the manga sequel, [[After War Gundam X: Under the Moonlight]]. The story featured a different Gundam X (adorned with teal colors) and its pilot was [[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]].<ref name="OMC1">After War Gundam X Official MS Catalogue (1997), p.64</ref><ref name="MG">[[Master Grade]] GX-9900 Gundam X (2014) instruction manual</ref> 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.<ref name="MG"/>
−
Built at the height of MS advancement by the [[United Nations Earth|UNE]], the GX-9900 series is one of the most advanced MS of its time. The series was mass-produced and pressed into service near the end of the [[7th Space War]]. After the environmental devastation at the end of the [[7th Space War]], MS development on Earth became stagnant as humanity recovered; Gundam X and its brethren Gundam series remains top-of-the-line after 15 years. Because the UNE no longer existed, there was no regulation over the Gundams and they found new life in the hands of the [[Vulture]]s. It's because of Vulture-use that no two Gundam X are exactly alike.
  
   
  +
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-Bit]]s - a type of Satellite System-equipped Bit.<ref name="MG"/> 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.<ref name="MG"/>
−
The unit is purposed as an assault MS. It carries a powerful beam cannon known as the ''Satellite Cannon''. The cannon requires power beyond what Gundam X is capable of on its own, so UNE engineers created the D.O.M.E. (DOME) lunar microwave facility to power it. When the Satellite Cannon is to be used, solar power collected at the facility is sent to the Gundam X via a microwave beam and stored in the large reflector panels mounted on the suit's back in preparation for a particle beam blast powerful enough to wipe out a MS squad with a single shot.
  
−  
−
While the Satellite Cannon is indeed powerful, it also requires a lengthy time to charge-up and fire. Any enemy target with enough speed and combat capability can take such an opportunity to attack Gundam X and disrupt its ability to absorb the microwave beam. Furthermore, the system can only be used when there is a clear line-of-sight to the lunar power facility. Because of this, the cannon tends to be used only as a last resort or for long-ranged assault. UNE engineers equipped Gundam X with a standardized set of weapons: a large beam sword, four torso mounted vulcan guns, and a shield buster rifle (doubling as a shield as well as a beam rifle). This allows Gundam X to be adaptable and versatile in most combat situations. The [[Vulture]]s (who have salvaged Gundam X units) also added optional equipment to the suit, including a holster shield of a buster sheath rifle and a torpedo launcher.
  
−  
−
The unit was specifically designed to exploit the capabilities of its New-Type pilot, but also usable for regular humans as well. At the helm of a New-Type pilot and using the [[Flash System]], the pilot can mentally communicate and access its remote controlled drone versions of itself, the [[FX-9900 GX-Bit]]s. They're physically exactly the same as Gundam X, but has been refitted to be automated drones for the New-Type pilot to command. The amount of bits the pilot can use is relative to their natural mental powers; the greater their New-Type abilities the greater amount of bits it can use for combat. In combat, the bits are used for coordinated attacks to protect its master and can utilize the [[Flash System]] sequentially to fire its ''Satellite Cannon''. Naturally, for its regular human pilot, the bits are useless as UNE engineers never created an alternative control system for normal pilots to exploit the full potential of Gundam X.
  
−  
−
The series has no special abilities to secure itself from being stolen from enemy hands. The only thing required to activate the Gundam is its ''G-Controller''. The ''G-Controller'' is actually part of the series's cockpit control system, but it doubles as a physical key to activate Gundam X. The key system itself isn't a strong security measure, more like a key to a car. Just like a car, it can be hot-wired. A skilled MS engineer can bypass the G-Controller's access key, allowing anyone with access to the cockpit to wield Gundam X, such as Garrod's Gundam. When NUNE (New United Nations Earth) engineers created [[GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X]], they never changed the design of the access controls to the G-Controller. Anyone with a G-Controller from Gundam X can also use it to activate and control ''Gundam Double X''.
  
−  
−
For Garrod's unit, it was unfortunately defeated by a New-Type pilot utilizing [[RMSN-008 Bertigo]]. Its Satellite Cannon was damaged beyond repair and had no components to replace it. To compensate its most powerful weapon, it's equipment was upgraded with salvaged MS technology and redubbed as [[GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider]]. The series would later be succeed by NUNE's [[GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X]].

: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.<ref name="MG"/>
−
:The Gundam X's main armament, the satellite cannon is the single most powerful weapon mounted on a mobile suit in the After War universe. The cannon is powered by a microwave beam emitted from the satellite system on the moon, which the GX absorbs through its chest, and stores it in the backpack mounted reflector panels until the cannon is ready to fire. A newtype pilot is required in order to contact the satellite system for firing. After the first use, a newtype is no longer required as the newtype's brainwaves are registered in the system. When in use, the satellite cannon deploys over the GX's right shoulder.

:The GX's main armament. The Shield buster Rifle is a unique weapon that can instantaneously transform from a beam rifle to a shield and back again. It's beam rifle mode is strong enough to cause serious damage to enemy suits, and it's shield mode is thick enough to withstand most projectiles and prolonged exposure to a beam saber.
 +
: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.<ref name="MG"/>

: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.<ref name="MG"/>

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 of the [[Space Revolutionary Army]]. One of the Gundam X units in this battle was piloted by 15-year-old Newtype pilot [[Jamil Neate]], who used his suit and [[FX-9900 GX-Bit]]s 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 GX-9900 Gundam X lost its left arm and head,taking [[Jamil Neate]]'s [[Newtype]] abilities with it. This Gundam X is later salvaged by the [[United Nations Earth|New United Nations Earth]] and parts and data of it are 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 G-Controller. Remembering that he stole a control stick from [[Jamil Neate]]s cabin safe, Garrod was able to activate the Gundam X and defeat Reich, along with his men.

The Gundam X would remain [[Garrod Ran]]'s private machine, until his first combat encounter with artificial Newtype, [[Cyber 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 [[Trieste-class]] that has been 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, he and Rosa II discover that the original pilot has been kept in a state of suspended animation inside the cockpit of the black Gundam X unit.
  
   
  +
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.<ref name="PB">Information in promotional images for P-Bandai 1/100 MG GX-9900 Gundam X Unit 3 (2018)</ref> 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.<ref name="NP">[[After War Gundam X Next Prologue]]</ref>

Due to circumstances the pilot, [[Kai]] had to abandon the Gundam X, during which time Rick Aller 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 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.

Latest revision as of 13:22, 8 January 2024

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.
