Technology & Combat Characteristics

Designed as an stealth-use mobile suit, the Blitz features several special weapons and technologies. Among the weapons used by the suit are an anchor and a offense/defense system, mounting several weapons. Design-wise, it was unique among the four Alliance prototypes, as the Blitz featured Mirage Colloid cloaking technology that rendered it invisible to both sensors and the naked eye.

Armaments

"Gleipnir" Anchor: The left forearm of the Blitz mounts the "Gleipnir" anchor, a weapon which can be fired to pierce an enemy unit and then retrieved on a line. A similar technology is installed on the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike in the form of the "Panzer Eisen" rocket anchor.

"Trikeros" Offense/Defense System: Mounted on the right arm of the suit, the "Trikeros" offense/defense system is the main weapon and shield of the Blitz and includes several features.

50mm High-energy Beam Rifle

For ranged combat, the Trikeros mounts a high-energy beam rifle

Lancer Darts

The Blitz has three lancer darts that can be fired or be used for close combat.

Beam Saber

Mounted on the Trikeros, its the Blitz's primary close combat weapon of choice.

System Features

Mirage Colloid stealth system: The Blitz is the first mobile weapon to use the Mirage Colloid technology. The stealth system is a field of microscopic prisms held in magnetic suspension around the Gundam by use of the same energy conduits used to generate the Phase Shift armor (which naturally renders PS useless while the Colloid is active). However since the system needs a lot of energy it can only be activated for up to 80 minutes. Also since Phase Shift armor can't be activated during use of Mirage Colloid, the Blitz is highly vulnerable in cloaked state if an enemy is able to find its position.

Phase Shift armor

As with all of the G Project mobile suits, the GAT-X207 Blitz is equipped with phase shift armor. When activated the Blitz's color is changed from a light grey to a bright black scheme with a bit of red mixed in. Phase Shift armor, when activated, renders the Blitz immune to physical attacks such as bullets, the GINN sword, or against missiles. However Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance. Also the Phase Shift armor draws on even more energy each time it is struck.
