Technical and Historical Notes
|
The second of the advanced "Gundam" mobile suits to reach the battlefield of the seventh space war, the Gundam Airmaster GW-9800 was equipped with a unique system, never before seen on a Federation design. The "Trans Loading System" enabled the unit to transform between two modes, aircraft and mobile suit. This adaptation allowed the unit to fly in the atmosphere like a conventional Jet Fighter, and then convert to the second mode for normal mobile suit combat. It was equipped with only the head vulcans for internal weaponry, but was given a pair of "buster rifles" that could be used in both modes, and were devastating to enemy craft. Like it's sister units, the Gundam Leopard GT-9600, and the Gundam X GX-9900, the Gundam Airmaster was equipped with a "flash system" that allowed a Newtype pilot to remote pilot the mobile bit units called FW-9800's.
Although fairly common during the Seventh Space War, after the confrontation between the (Old) Earth Federation and the Space Revolutionary Army these units are very rarely seen. Only one unit has been confirmed in existance since AW0001, and that is the Gundam Airmaster belonging to Witz Sou, a Mercenary pilot working for the Vulture ship Freeden. Witz Sou's Unit would eventually be severely damaged, and rebuilt as the Gundam Airmaster Burst GW-9800-B.

[1]The Head and Hands are small targets , and are difficult to hit. Therefore, even with a called shot, they are -3 to hit.
[2]The Head Sensor Unit (located at the top of the head) is very small and extremely difficult to hit. Therefore, even with a called shot, they are -5 to hit. Destroying the Head Sensor Unit will disrupt the Gundam Airmaster's ability to send and receive Radio signals and will cripple the Radar and Laser Tracking systems. This will eliminate the bonuses for Strike and Dodge.
[3]Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will disable the Gundam Airmaster.
[4]When in Jet Mode, 1/3 of all damage done to the Main Body is transferred to the Nose.
