Mobile Suit Description:
The GAT-X103 Buster GUNDAM serves its primary role as artillery support. It carries no handheld weapons, instead it mounts two large bore backpack weapons deployed under each arm. As backup, there are twin missile pods on each shoulder. The Buster GUNDAM is heavily armed and more armored than the other GUNDAMs, save Duel GUNDAM in Assault Armor mode. On its pelvis, Buster GUNDAM has additional sensors and targeting equipment. The sheer firepower of this GUNDAM far exceeds the others.

Mobile Suit Description:
While the Buster GUNDAM is the long-range GAT series GUNDAM, on the other end of the spectrum is the GAT-X207 Blitz GUNDAM. The Blitz GUNDAM is a speedy and streamlined close-combat specialized GUNDAM. Featuring a claw-like forearm weapon and a shield packed with various weapons, the Blitz GUNDAM is unmatched in CQB with other mobile suits. The Blitz GUNDAM also employs a device called a MIRAGE COLLOID, which allows it to become temporarily transparent and invisible to radar.
high-energy cannon - A large 94 millimeter bore energy cannon, this weapon is mounted on the Buster GUNDAM's left rear side. When in use, it is deployed under the left arm. Functions as a direct-fire weapon. It's power is more than enough to defeat most forms of armor. Range: 2700 meters. The high-energy cannon can be removed from its mount and docked with the 350mm gun launcher. In this mode, the high-energy cannon's range increases to 3050 meters and it's power nearly doubles.
gun launcher - This 350 millimeter diameter bore gun launcher is one of the most powerful weapons available to a mobile suit. This weapon's primary function is to serve as artillery support, but can also be used as a direct-fire weapon. Maximum range: 4.2 kilometers. The gun launcher can also be removed from its mount and docked with the 94mm high-energy gun. In this mode, the gun launcher's range increases to 4.6 kilometers and it's power slightly more than doubles. Mounted on the Buster GUNDAM's right rear side.
missile pods - Firing the same missile as the Full Armor Duel GUNDAM, the Buster GUNDAM carries more than twice the missiles as the former GUNDAM. Each shoulder-mounted pod holds six missiles each in a 3x2 configuration. Warhead type is HEAA with an armor penetration of 2000 millimeters within the missile's range of 3200 meters.
Gleipnir anchor - Similar to the Sword Strike GUNDAM's rocket anchor, the Blitz GUNDAM's Gleipnir anchor is a little more offensive is usage. Mounted on the left forearm, this rocket-fired, wire-guided claw-like weapon is meant to rip apart mobile suits and drill into them when fired in a claw-closed position, as well as grab onto them and drag them back to the operator in claw-open position. Maximum line length: 550 meters. Initial launch velocity: 28 meters per second. Drops to 22 meters per second after 10 meters.
Trikeros offense/defense system - Developed by Trikeros Weapons Corp., this unique system features multiple weapons with varying effective ranges. First is the 50 millimeter high-energy beam cannon. This weapon is similar to other beam cannons, except for the fact that it is permanently attached to the Trikeros shield. The beam cannon range is 1.7 kilometers with a firing rate of 60 rounds per minute. Maximum energy charge of 30 rounds. The second Trikeros system weapon is the beam lancer. This is an all purpose extended-length beam melee weapon. The emitter is mounted under the barrel of the energy cannon. The beam lancer functions much like any other beam saber, except that the lancer is more suited for thrusting than slashing. Finally, the third Trikeros System armament are the triple lancer darts. These javelin-like weapons are rocket-propelled towards their targets. They can penetrate over 1.3 meters of RHA. They are accurate despite lacking any guidance system. Launch speed of 45 meters per second, maximum range of 400 meters.
