Technical and Historical Notes

The GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam is designed with close combat in mind. Unlike the other configurations of the Strike Gundam, the Sword Strike Gundam features no beam rifles or cannons. The main armament of this configuration is the 15.78 meter long "Schwert Gewehr" anti-ship sword. This long sword is capable of easily slicing apart a mobile suit or causing substantial damage to a battleship. A similar sword design is later utilized by the GAT-X133 Sword Calamity. The Sword Strike Gundam is also outfitted with a "Panzer Eisen" rocket anchor on its left forearm. The rocket anchor can be fired along a line and resembles the "Gleipnir" anchor used by the GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam. Additionally, the Sword Strike Gundam's left shoulder houses a "Midas Messer" beam boomerang. As is the case with the other Striker packs, the AQM/E-X02 Sword Striker can also dock with the support fighter FX-550 Sky Grasper.
