Together with four other machines, the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam, and GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, the Buster was secretly manufactured at the Orb Union's space colony Heliopolis. The Buster Gundam was one of the prototype mobile suits created by the Earth Alliance under its G Project during the First Alliance-PLANT War. The Buster uses the General Unilateral Neuro-Link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver Synthesis System. However Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance, and uses up additional energy when it is hit. Phase Shift armor, when activated, renders the Buster immune to physical attacks such as bullets, the GINN sword, or against missiles. When activated the Buster's color is changed from a light grey to a beige scheme with a bit of green and orange mixed in. Special Equipment & FeaturesĪs with all of the G Project mobile suits, the Buster Gundam is equipped with phase shift armor. Although the combined form has higher power, the rate of fire is decreased. As the name implies, it also features sniping capabilities due to the longer range of the beam. This beam cannon type weapon has a higher energy output, firing a larger beam capable of penetrating several targets, including battleships. When the High-energy Rifle and Gun Launcher combine, with the High-energy Rifle on the front, it can form a Long-Range Sniper Rifle. ![]() Its destructive power is above a battleship's beam cannon despite its smaller size. It is a beam weapon similar to the beam rifle, and is the highest caliber energy rifle among those used by other units in the G Project. Although the combined form has higher power, the rate of fire is decreased.Īttached to the left side of the waist and carried in Buster's left hand when in use. It appears that about four or five shells fired from the Anti-Armor Shotgun is enough to destroy some battleships. It fires a single stream containing multiple shells that later splits apart, resulting in a scatter shot that damages a wide area. ![]() When the High-energy Rifle and Gun Launcher combine, with the Gun Launcher on the front, it forms a very powerful shell-firing Anti-Armor Shotgun. In addition to ordinary solid shells, the gun-launcher can also fire specialized munitions such as armor-piercing and high explosive rounds. It is a projectile weapon akin to a railgun or linear gun, which uses electromagnetic forces rather than gunpowder to launch its projectiles. They can also be used for bombing bases, anti-ship attacks, and missile interception.Īttached to the right side of the waist and carried in Buster's right hand when in use. Mounted on both shoulders, they compensate for the Buster's poor close combat capability, allowing it to fire a rain of missiles to destroy enemy units or to stop them from moving closer. Like other units in the G Project, Buster has Phase Shift armor, making it nearly impervious to physical weapons. Although the suit has no close combat weapon, it has a pair of shoulder-mounted missile pods that can be used to discourage enemy units from closing in. They can also combine to form the more powerful anti-armor shotgun or the hyper impulse long-range sniper rifle, with the improved firepower seemingly caused by the linkage of the sub-generators. Its primary armaments are the gun launcher and high-energy rifle, both are energy intensive and have their own sub-generators. Due to its role, the main sensor camera on Buster's head is very important and is protected with additional armor. It has firepower rivaling that of a battleship's and is meant to provide rear support for the other units and to attack enemy ships or facilities from a distance. One of the five mobile suits developed as part of the Earth Alliance's G Project, the Buster Gundam is an artillery mobile suit and adopts the X100-series frame, similar to the one used by the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam.
