Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Striker Custom is a next generation type mobile suit developed from the GM Striker. Like its predecessor, the Striker Custom is also an ace-use machine specialized for close combat. The Striker Custom retains the body of a GM Striker, but has a new backpack and Gundam-like head. The new backpack is meant for storing some of the Strike Custom's newly designed weaponry which incorporates technology previously used by Zeon. The Gundam-like head contains a special "Demon Blade" AI System that can awaken the latent Newtypes capabilities of its pilot and can create a special dust-like, ultra-vibrating material for offensive purposes.

History

Only two Striker Customs ever existed, one of which belonged to Barghest, while the other belonged to True Federal, and was destroyed before Barghest could ever technically own it after the pilot turned traitor against True Federal.

The two Striker Customs were later combined and equipped with the armor from FA-78NT-1 Full Armor Alex to make the Full Armor Striker Custom.
