About Gundam Ashtaron
The NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron is one of the primary antagonist mobile suits from After War Gundam X. Piloted by Olba Frost, the younger of the Frost Brothers, the machine specializes in overwhelming close-range combat through its enormous Atomic Scissors while retaining surprising mobility through its transformable Mobile Armor configuration. Working alongside his brother Shagia's Gundam Virsago, Olba uses the Ashtaron's unique capabilities to execute coordinated attacks throughout the series.
Atomic Scissors Gimmick
The defining feature of the Gundam Ashtaron is its pair of massive Atomic Scissors mounted on the backpack. Bandai's new HG engineering allows the claws to deploy, articulate, and fold away without requiring any part swapping. Multiple joints within the mechanism enable dynamic attack poses while maintaining stability and accuracy to the original design.
Mobile Armor Transformation
The kit can recreate the Ashtaron's high-speed Mobile Armor Mode through a partial transformation system. Combined with the transformable Beam Spear and articulated Atomic Scissors, the HGAW Gundam Ashtaron offers one of the most feature-rich releases in the modern Gundam X lineup.
