[edit] NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron
The Ashtaron, which was piloted by one of the Frost brothers, Olba, was able to transform into a flight-capable mobile armor form. Although it was very heavy, the Ashtaron was equipped with sufficient thrust to fly and maneuver at high speed. It was also surprisingly effective underwater. In mobile armor mode the Ashtaron was also able to carry Shagia’s NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago on its back. The Ashtaron’s main weapon were a pair of “atomic scissors”, which served not only as grappling/striking melee weapons but were also equipped with beam cannons. With its powerful weapons the Gundam Ashtaron was a strong enemy for the Freeden crew which became even stronger when it was upgraded to the NRX-0015-HC Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab.
[edit] NRX-0015-HC Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab
In the anime series After War Gundam X, the Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab is the updated version of the NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron. This update was necessary after the New Earth Federation decided to focus on battle in space. The update included better versions of the atomic scissor claws, but the most powerful weapon of the Gundam was an optional satellite cannon, which could only be used in mobile armor mode. Also the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break was necessary, because it was Shagia’s mobile suit which collected the power from the moon.
The Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab was recklessly used by the Frost brothers against the New Earth Federation as well as the Space Revolutionary Army but finally it was defeated by the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X.
