[edit] Concept-X 6-1-2 (Concept-X Project-6 Division-1 Block-2) Turn X
As the war continued to rage between the Moonrace and Earth, on the Moon the political situation was changing just as rapidly; an alliance headed by Gym Ghingnham and Agrippa Maintainer was attempting a coup against Queen Dianna Soriel. During this time, Gym became obsessed with learning about the Dark History and began several excavations on the Moon's surface to uncover evidence of that era. His excavations on the Moon yielded several mobile suits: the Turn X for his personal use, and several G-M1F (XM-0754) Bandit units for his pilot Merrybell Gadget. The prior history of the Turn X is just as much as a mystery as the Turn A's is, however Gym did state that the Turn X is the "brother" unit to the Turn A.
As a fighting machine, the Turn X was superior to any machine existing at the time (even the System-∀99 (WD-M01) ∀ Gundam ("Turn A" Gundam) ). Its unique construction allowed it to break apart into seven smaller pieces with each one functioning as an individual weapon; Turn X lacked a right hand but in its place was an arm with manipulator possessing three beam emitters as well as the Shining Finger attack; other armaments included a bazooka and a beam rifle. Like its "brother" unit, the Turn A, it too possesses the Moonlight Butterfly attack, capable of sucking energy out of all other units. However, this attack cannot be accomplished alone by both Turn X and Turn A. It is said that the attack has 3 requirement, the nano-machines, the energy to use them and finally the program to activate it. Turn X only have the energy and program but not the nano-machines and Turn A having only the energy and nano-machines but not the program.
Gym would use the Turn X throughout the end of the Earth-Moonrace conflict, until he had a final showdown with Loran Cehack in the Turn A. When both mobile suits used their Moonlight Butterfly systems during that battle, they were both encased in a large cocoon; Loran was able to escape, but Gym was enveloped with the Gundams.

[edit] Trivia
Although never referred to as such in the series itself, the attack where Turn X separates into its component pieces and attacks is always called 'Bloody Siege' when it appears in SD Gundam G Generation and Super Robot Wars games. Also, in the Super Robot Wars series, it is known as All-Range Weld-Off.
A concept of Turn X comes from MSN-03 Zeong of Mobile Suit Variations.
