Technology & Combat Characteristics

A custom Gunpla with a strong militaristic feel, the Striker GN-X is based on the hard to control but high performance Advanced GN-X from the side stories of Gundam 00 – Mobile Suit Gundam 00V and Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record. It fights in tandem with two ground-based GNX-803T GN-XIV Type.GBF units, also built by Mario, and controlled by his younger brothers, Julio and Serio. The additional armor, which resembles a full armor form, is based on Mario’s tactical forecast that prioritized defensive capabilities over mobility during ground combat.

The large helmet covering the Gunpla's head has various enhanced sensors for data gathering purposes, as well as embedded clavicle antennae for particle control. On the Gunpla's back is a large backpack with high mobility GN verniers, additional particle tanks, and a pair of sub arms for mounting a pair of GN Defense Rods or other option parts. In Mario's settings, the backpack's particle tanks are prototype of the GN-XIV's. The Striker GN-X also has a GN Discharger on the right shoulder and its main weapon is the large GN Smart Gun.

History

During a test of the G-quest, a Gunpla battle based attraction, the Renato Team's Gunpla tailed an enemy transport container to find its base. Suddenly, they were attacked by a Cherudim Gundam SAGA Type.GBF carried in the container.

While Mario’s Striker GN-X and Julio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF engaged the Cherudim Gundam SAGA Type.GBF, Serio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF followed the container. The two tried attacking the Gundam, but were outwitted. The Gundam shot at Serio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF, destroying its left arm, but Serio continued with his mission. Mario’s Striker GN-X then utilized its GN Smoke Discharger, blinding the opponent and causing particle disruption. It then hits the Gundam with a powerful shot from its GN Smart Gun. The damaged Gundam activated its Trans-Am System, but was shot down by Julio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF.

The transport container reached its base, and Serio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF was damagd by the base's Perfect Grade Gundam Exia. Realizing they're outmatched, Mario’s and Julio’s Gunpla retreated back to the jungle and rendezvous with Serio’s Gunpla. After fixing Serio’s Gunpla, Serio’s and Julio’s GN-XIV Type.GBF activated their Trans-Am System to battle the Gundam Exia, which soon activated its own Trans-Am System. Mario’s Striker GN-X then appeared and charged towards the opponent with its own Trans-Am System activated. The collision of two Trans-Am Gunpla destroyed the armor of both units.

The Striker GN-X then tore off the Gundam Exia’s cockpit hatch, revealing a large Setsuna F. Seiei figurine inside. Mario then overloaded the Trans-Am, causing his Striker GN-X to self destruct, taking down the Gundam Exia. The Gunpla Battle ended with the Renatos' victory, and Meijin Kawaguchi III applauded their performance.
