Custom Build: Astaroth Ecdysis

Astaroth: Ecdysis

Astaroth: Ecdysis is a mobile suit created with abandoned mobile suit scraps and leftovers of Gundam Astaroth after it has been completed into its original form: Gundam Astaroth Origin. The codename 'Ecdysis' was added to this mobile suit to represent the idea that this mobile suit is a creation of abandoned armors from Astaroth and other mobile armors. It was also influenced by the idea that the devil Astaroth in demonology carried viper. 

Although the Astaroth: Ecdysis uses Gundam frame for its limbs, it cannot be called Gundam since  Astaroth: Ecdysis uses Ahab reactor from Graze frame. Due to its hybrid form of Gundam frame and Graze reactor, the output of Astaroth: Ecdysis is weaker but very easy to pilot compare to regular Gundam Frames without Alaya-Vijnana System.

 

On the side of the arms are knuckle shields that can be used for both attack and defense. The Knuckle part uses same material as fundamental frame, having higher durability for melee fight. The axe-pistols are also equipped on the rear side of the arm for melee to mid-range battles. 

The armor on the shoulder can move depending on the location of the shoulder, giving more flexibility for the arm.

The wide shoulder of Astaroth: Ecdysis makes it possible for the mobile suit to completely cover its front.

For weaponry, Astaroth: Ecdysis holds buster sword and rifle.
