''[[Gundam Build Fighters]]'' and ''[[Gundam Build Divers]]'' would also be shorter if counted separately from their direct sequels ''Gundam Build Fighters Try'' and ''Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE'', but both of which began airing within 13 months of their predecessor's conclusion.</ref>. The story follows a group of scavengers (called Vultures) of the hovercraft mothership the Freeden on a hunt to find Newtypes in the post-apocalyptic world in order to protect them from those who would exploit their abilities. 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.
