Line 6:
''After War Gundam X'' (''Kidou Shinseiki Gundam X'', lit. "Mobile New Century Gundam X") is the seventh, and shortest, [[Gundam]] TV Series. The story follows a group of scavengers called Vultures on a hunt to protect Newtypes. The series background involves a violent war 15 years earlier that killed nearly every human, in earth and space. [[Fallout|It was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter in human history]]. [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|And Gundam? Gundam never changes]]. Despite the grim premise, Gundam X retains a shockingly optimistic tone.
While scheduled for 49 episodes, it was cut short down to 39 due to [[Executive Meddling]]. Despite this resulting in the final arc being compressed from a planned 12 episodes to a mere 3, Gundam X managed to have an entirely coherent (if rushed) ending.

* [[Kid Hero]]: Garrod Ran.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Neatly subverted. {{spoiler|The Frost brothers survive the final battle, Olba without a scratch and Shagia only bound to a wheelchair. However, this is arguably [[And I Must Scream|the cruelest punishment for a Gundam villain]] ''ever''. They get to survive, to see all their plans and efforts to bring about a war that would destroy civilization ''fail'', with both Spacenoids and Earthnoids restoring peace with each other and the Newtypes that they hate so very much able to live happily and not be abused as tools for war. Given most of ''Gundam X'' is about second chances, this may actually be the plot offering one}}.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: In spite of
* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: {{spoiler|To a degree, Tiffa and Lucille.}}
* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]]: The Divider set for the GX, which removes its (now broken) Satellite Cannon and original Beam Rifle, opting out for a stronger beam assault rifle, an extra Beam Saber, and a shield which mounts flight-capable thrusters, as well as the "Beam Harmonica" Divider Cannon. The G-Falcon counts as one too, able to attach to a Gundam Airmaster to boost its mobility, a Gundam X/DX to increase its total available firepower, or a Gundam Leopard to give it a means of flight.
