Technical
and Historical Notes

"It
isn't evil you're defeating. The ones that you defeated are
the epitomy of evil. Think about your integrity. That is our
determination... and the determination of Altron." - Master
Long
When the XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam
was captured and destroyed by OZ's forces in AC 195, the extremely
durable gundanium-made remains of that mobile suit were taken
to OZ's lunar base and mobile suit factory for storage. The
five scientists who had built the Gundams plaguing OZ were also
at the lunar base, captured and forced to develop new mobile
suit technology to secure OZ's rule over Earth and the space
colonies. Despite their apparent "cooperation," however, the
scientists also began rebuilding the Shenlong
in secret, preparing for the day when captured Gundam pilot
Chang Wufei could return to the battlefield. That opportunity
came when the Romefeller Foundation - the political force behind
OZ - became split over a number of issues, and the "Treize Faction"
of OZ attacked the lunar base, which at the time was still under
the control of Romefeller loyalists. During the chaos, Wufei
managed to escape, taking his rebuilt XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam
to continue fighting on his own. At that time, the Altron was
only seventy percent complete; later repairs and field upgrades
would allow Wufei to complete the resurrected mobile suit, bringing
it up to its full combat potential.
The improvements given to the new XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam were
very dramatic. The old beam glaive was replaced with a double-ended
twin beam trident, and both arms were outfitted with the highly
effective "dragon fang" extending arms and claws (hence the
Altron name, taken from the Chinese "ertou long" or "two-headed
dragon"). Along with increased mobility, these upgrades turned
the resurrected "Nataku" into an incredible force, allowing
Wufei to continue his fight for justice against oppression.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Despite our best research efforts here at
the Vicinity Research Institute, there seem to be two versions
of the Altron Gundam... the one shown here, and an alternate
version. However, as best as we can tell, these two different
versions are actually the SAME mobile suit! To date, we have
been unable to determine if one version was upgraded into the
other, or if indeed one version is the "true" version with the
other version being a "ficticious" one created for a historical
drama. Either way, we present them both for your pleasure.)
