The Gundam Airmaster is one of three Gundam-type mobile suits which were used by the Old Earth Federation during the 7th Space War in the anime series Gundam X. Like the other two units the Gundam Airmaster also features a flash system, which allows a Newtype pilot to remote-control mobile bits, in the Leopard’s case the FW-9800 GW-Bit. The Airmaster also was one of the first mobile suits equiped with the TransSystem, which allowed the Airmaster to transform into a fighter-like craft capable of atmospheric flight. Also because of this system the Gundam was a strong force in aerial combat, despite fact that it's lightly armed with only vulcan guns, pair of buster rifle and optional missiles.

Like other Gundams, Gundam Airmaster can be docked with G-Falcon fighter. In this case, Gundam Airmaster need to be in fighter mode and the G-Falcon will serve as a large booster. It also improve the firepower of Airmaster with pair of scattering beam cannon and infrared-guide missile launcher.

Although the Old Earth Federation constructed a high number of this mobile suits, only one unit surived the mass colony drop and in AW 0015 this unit is used by Witz Sou. Witz Gundam was heavily damaged by the NRMA-006 Gadeel but later it was repaired and upgraded to the the GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst by the Estardo government.
