It is one of the most unusual looking suits out there, featuring an asymmetrical design.
It is a close sibling to the turn-A Gundam MS but its combat skills are more than a match for its brother. It is unique for having its cockpit in the suit’s head known as X-Top, which can also function as an evacuation system. The ‘Power Drainer’ ascended on the chest can drain the energy of the suit. The Turn-X’s psycommu system grant it to easily detach body bits, make their use as separate weapons and launch all-range attacks. This dangerous foe has a weapon platform on his back, known as ‘Carapace’, which embraces bazooka, missile launcher, hand beam gun and rifle. The destruction manipulator can act as 8 mega particle canon. It resembles ninja which makes it more badass.
