During the
7th Space War, the United Nations Earth developed and deployed
three advanced new mobile suit designs to counter the Space
Revolutionary Army. One of these new units was the GW-9800 Gundam
Airmaster, and like its brethren GX-9900
Gundam X and GT-9600 Gundam Leopard,
it was equipped with a "flash system", enabling a Newtype pilot
to mentally remote-control a large number of bit mobile suits
(or "mobile bits") - in the Airmaster's case, the FW-9800
GW-Bit. The Airmaster was also unique in that it was one
of the first mobile suits to be equipped with the "TransSystem",
a design concept which enabled the Airmaster to transform into
a fighter-like craft capable of atmospheric flight. Although
only lightly armed with vulcan guns and a pair of "buster" beam
rifles, the Airmaster was quite nimble as an aerial combat unit.
