Technical and Historical Notes

After repeated battles agains the Gundam X and the crew of the Freeden, the Frost Brothers, Shagia and Olba, recieved upgraded versions of their familiar Gundams.  It is unknown if these are new units, or simply refits of their original Gundams, but it is presumed they are entirely new units, as they have too many alterations to have been refit in the time between attacks against the crew of the Freeden.  When combined with it's brother unit, the NRX-0013-CB Chest Break, the two can fire a Satellite Launcher, provided that they can call for a Microwave beam from the D.O.M.E. Station.

[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]Destroying the Sensor Antenna will disrupt the Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab's ability to receive radio signals and has a 50% chance of destroying 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 Ashtaron Hermit Crab

[4]Depleting the MDC of the Mobile Armor Unit, will keep the Ashtaron Hermit Crab from transforming into Mobile Armor Mode, or deploying the Satelite Launcher.
