The XM-X0 Crossbone Gundam X-0 Full Cloth is a mobile suit which appears in the manga series Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost. It is piloted by Curtis Rothko.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Gundam Crosbone X-0 eqquiped with the Full Cloth.
Due to the number of ABC Cloak is smaller than the X-1, the defense is weak but with the silver beam coating from the Ghost Gundam, it is maintained. The performance of the MS is the same, but the load to the pilot has been reduced by implementing the gel-like cushion on the cockpit, so the limit value of maneuverability has also increased. In addition, they add a mechanism which is possible to the front part unfold it backward.
Armaments[]
- Vulcan Gun
These head mounted shell firing weapons have a high rate of fire, but little power and are generally ineffective against mobile suits. However, they can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors, and are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles or small vehicles.
- Beam Saber
The beam saber is the standard close-combat weapon of many mobile suits, it emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-field that can cut through any physical armor not treated to resist it. The Crossbone Gundam is equipped with two beam sabers stored in shoulder racks when not in use. They also serve as the beam guns for the core fighter.
- Heat Dagger
An alternative close combat weapon, the heat dagger is unlike most heat weapons as its blade is heated using leftover heat from the leg's thrusters. The heated blade can melt the enemies armor on contact. The heat daggers are stored in the legs, one in each calf. Normally, it is handheld when in use, but it can also slide out of the sole as a surprise attack. Naturally, the fog dispensers also increase the effectiveness of this weapon as well due to the surprise factor.
- Scissor Anchor
Each Crossbone Gundam is equipped with a pair of scissor anchors stored on the front skirt armor. These anchors are attached to the Gundam by long chains and use scissor claws to grip objects. While these are not offense weapons per-say, they provide several uses in combat. They can be used to grip the limb of an enemy machine to ensnare it, or to reel it closer to the Crossbone Gundam for melee combat. They can also be used to turn ensnared mobile suits into bludgeoning weapons by pulling on the chain. The scissor anchors can also be used to stabilize the Gundam's footing in case of emergencies, such as when fighting the wind force of an explosion.
- Beam Shield/Brand Marker
Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. This plane is divided into multiple sections, which can be turned on or off as needed to conserve energy. Individual sections are also automatically deactivated whenever they're in danger of coming into contact with the mobile suit itself. The beam shield generators of the Crossbone Gundams are mounted on the forearm, and can take advantage of beam energy malleability, forming four short beam blades at the corners of the beam shield generator that meet at the center, which gives the brand marker as a whole a pyramidal shape. The brand marker slides over the fist of the mobile suit and is used as a punching weapon. When used, the the brand marker leaves an X-shaped hole, if the target area isn't completely destroyed.
- Butterfly Buster B
A replica of the Butterfly Buster, but built with current technology and thus has higher output of the 12% compared to original Butterfly Buster.
- Multi-purpose Assault Weapon "Kujaku"
A new weapon that integrates the functions of the Muramasa Blaster and the Peacock Smasher into a single weapon. It can switch between the Buster Mode for close combat and the Smasher Mode for ranged combat.ulti-purpose Assault Weapon "Kujaku"
- Slow-burning high-heat bullet
A weapon prepared for the Angel Call. It shoots a high-heat bullet which incinerates the cockpit with high temperatures to decontaminate the infected MS.
Special Equipment & Features[]
- Bio-Computer
The Ghost uses the same Bio-Computer as its brother units. However, it may have been modified to compensate for the fact that Curtis Rothko is blind. Regardless, the Bio-Computer will only reach its full potential at the hands of a Newtype.
- Fog Dispenser
The Ghost apparently has the ability to release a thick fog to engulf the battlefield or to hide its location. This serves to obstruct the vision of other mobile suits and their pilots. However, the Ghost has only used the Fog Dispenser for its sudden appearances since most battles end before the Fog clears. Thus it's unknown at this time if the Ghost has the ability to actively release Fog during the heat of battle or not.
- Heat Radiation Face Open
Like its brother units, the Ghost can temporarily "Open Face" to release Heat and increase performance. This allows the Ghost to perform otherwise extremely demanding maneuvers or attacks that would normally be considered impossible.
- Specialized Sound and Headphones Sensor System
Converting all information it receive into sound, this system allows the blind Curtis Rothko to more effectively pilot the Ghost. This system has a range of 500 km(500,000 m) around the Ghost and delivers constant audio feedback making it very effective for someone blind. However, it has its flaws and can leave Curtis vulnerable when encountering new mobile weapons whose sounds and shape he and the computer database of the Ghost doesn't recognize, thus only regular generic alerts would be given off.
- Gel Cushion
A anti-G system used on the cockpit. This solution has the property that the viscosity can be freely changed by applying a weak voltage and can function as a cushion, so if the voltage is controlled according to the timing when the impact is applied, the pilot can applied from all directions. The pilot is protected by the G forces and it's possible to make maneuvers that would not be possible under normal conditions.
