Technology & Combat Characteristics

A state-of-the-art mobile fighter made by Neo Hong Kong, and a developmental improvement of the Kowloon Gundam. Its body is made up of DG cells, allowing it to disguise itself as the Kowloon Gundam. Although its body is made up of DG cells, it is completely controlled by Master Asia's strong mental power, so it does not self-propagate or self-evolve, and uses its abilities only for self-regeneration. This machine has strong characteristics as a dedicated fighting machine developed from the Kowloon Gundam, and its flexible joint structure and thrusters allow it to move in a variety of ways, reproducing many of the techniques of Master Asia. It is a member of the Devil Gundam Legion, and is treated as the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings subgroup that consisted of four Gundams.

History

The Master Gundam first appears in the old Shinjuku district of Tokyo during the Survival Eleven in the 13th Gundam Fight. After that, it mimics the Kowloon Gundam and Master Asia approaches Domon Kasshu to bring him in, but Rain Mikamura interferes and reveals its true nature. In the ensuing battle, Master Asia would soundly defeat his former student and the Shining Gundam. When Domon retreated to the Guiana Highlands to further his training, Master Asia secretly followed with his Master Gundam in tow.

At the end of Domon's training, the two Gundam fighters faced each other once again. Though Master Asia initially overpowered the Shining Gundam, the battle would end in the destruction of the Master Gundam at the hands of Hyper Mode God Gundam. However, the Master Gundam possessed self-regeneration capabilities thanks to the Devil Gundam, and soon reappeared in Neo Hong Kong for the finals. According to Gundam Fight procedures, the Gundam Fighter representing Neo Hong Kong, Master Asia, switched from the Kowloon Gundam to this machine. Because Master Asia was the previous Gundam Fight champion, he and the Master Gundam would not participate in the tournament until the final round.

In the final battle of the Gundam Fight, it was revealed that the Master Gundam was capable of entering a golden Hyper Mode of its own, similar to the Gundams of the Shuffle Alliance. Yet, with Domon's training finally complete and Master Asia's health declining, the Master Gundam was finally outmatched. After a long struggle, the Master Gundam faltered, and was destroyed by the God Gundam. What remained of the Master Gundam was burned alongside Master Asia's body.

Sometime later, when the Devil Gundam seized control of the Neo Japan colony, the upper body of the Master Gundam was used as a component of the Grand Master Gundam. The Grand Master Gundam was defeated by the combined might of the Shuffle Alliance.
