Bandai Gunpla HG 1/100 GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst from Mobile Suit Gundam X

The Bandai Gunpla 1/100 GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst brings one of the most iconic transforming mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam X to life in impressive 1/100 scale form. Designed for fans who love high-speed aerial combat and mechanical transformation gimmicks, this kit captures the aggressive silhouette and versatile firepower of the Airmaster Burst with remarkable detail.

Built as the upgraded version of the original Gundam Airmaster, the GW-9800-B emphasizes mobility and overwhelming ranged weaponry. Bandai faithfully recreates its sleek fighter-inspired design, complete with wings that rotate and deploy through an articulated transformation mechanism. The transformation between Mobile Suit Mode and Fighter Mode is especially satisfying, thanks to a cleverly engineered sliding head unit that eliminates the need for swapping parts during conversion.

The kit also features movable rear thrusters on the fighter nose section, adding extra realism and posing flexibility for dynamic aerial displays. Metallic plated parts are included for the head antenna and chest mechanical details, giving the finished model subtle highlights that stand out beautifully on display.

Weapon loadout is another major attraction. The Airmaster Burst comes heavily armed with:

• Two Buster Rifles
• One Booster Beam Cannon
• One Missile Rifle

These accessories allow builders to recreate intense combat scenes straight from the anime or create custom action poses that showcase the Gundam’s long-range combat specialization.

For collectors expanding their Mobile Suit Gundam X lineup, this kit is also compatible with the 1/100 scale G-Falcon Unit Gundam Double X (sold separately), enabling combination and display options that fans of the series will immediately recognize.

With its transforming mechanics, detailed weapon systems, and anime-accurate styling, the Gundam Airmaster Burst remains a standout addition for Gunpla enthusiasts who appreciate classic 1990s Gundam designs and engineering-focused model kits.
