Technical and Historical Notes

The FX-550+AQM/E-X02 Sword Grasper configuration mounted the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam‘s Sword Striker pack. The Sword Striker pack added various weapons to the Sky Grasper’s armament. The “Panzer Eisen” rocket anchor could be shot out to a fixed position and allowed the Sword Grasper to make hard turns. Additionally, the “Schwert Gewehr” anti-ship sword could be used against battleships or other targets.
