XM-X3 Crossbone Gundam X-3

XM-X3 Crossbone Gundam X-3 is a mobile suit which appears in the manga series Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam.

Unlike the two other Crossbone Gundam units, the XM-X3 is drastically different. Instead of beam shields, it has arm-mounted I-field generators which could completely disperse beam attacks, even those from battleship-grade beam cannons and Variable Speed Beam Rifles (one thing that the beam shield cannot block). However, even after being used for so many years, I-fields still suffered the problem of overheating. As a result, each could only operate for 105 seconds before needing to cool off for another 120 seconds. Even when alternating between the two I-field generators, the Gundam would still be defenseless for about 15 seconds.
