After War Gundam Another X/Gunmaster Burst

[b]GW-9800-GB Gundam Gunmaster Burst[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] Lunar titanium alloy armor and frame
[b]Height:[/b] 17.3 meters
[b]Weight:[/b] Empty 7.7 metric metric tons; max gross weight unknown
[b]Pilot(s):[/b] Witz Sou
[b]Creator(s):[/b] United Nations Earth

[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Fighter Mode:[/b] The Gunmaster Burst, like all Airmasters, can transform into a fighter plane to increase it's speed and maneuverability.
[b]Solar Panels:[/b] To help with the Gunmaster's crippling energy consumption when in operation, a series of retractable solar panels were mounted on the legs and under the shoulders. These panels help by converting sunlight into energy, and replenishing the Gunmaster Burst's supplies.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]Head Vulcans:[/b] Standard MS vulcans, mounted in the head. Not usable in Fighter Mode
[b]Nose Beam Vulcans:[/b] Beam vulcans, mounded on the Fighter Mode's nose.
[b]Grenade Launcher:[/b] The underside of the Beam Shotgun mounts a grenade launcher.
[b]Beam Shotgun:[/b] A replacement of the Daughtress machine gun, the Gunmaster Burst now carries a special beam cannon which fires in a wide area, much like a shotgun. The cannon uses rechargable "clips", so as to save the MS's energy reserves for the Mega Beam Cannon.
[b]Booster Beam Cannon:[/b] Instead of the missiles, the wings of the Gunmaster Burst each mount a pair of beam cannons, as mid-ranged firepower. The cannons use self-contained energy cells, so as to leave as much power as possible for the Mega Beam Cannon.
[b]Mega Beam Cannon:[/b] The main weapon of the Gunmaster, it trades the rapid fire capabilities of the buster rifles usually equipped by an Airmaster for massive wide area damage. It is mounted under the body in Fighter Mode, and some rigging has allowed Witz to fire it in that mode as well. Minor beam generator improvements also increased the power of the beam cannon, while not noticably affecting the power drain.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes:[/b]

When Vulture met up with the secret United Nations Earth research base, they decided to give the aging Gunmaster and Leopard Tank an overhaul with new technologies that they had been working on.

The Gunmaster was the least improved of the batch, however it still obtained some significant improvements. New thrusters and new armour materials increased the Gunmaster's speed and durability, while allowing it to equip larger weapons and better manage the energy drain of the Mega Beam Cannon. In addition, it was also equipped with solar panels which allow the Gunmaster to recharge it's reserves when in sunlight, to help offset the drain of the cannon.
