The Shenlong, the fifth Gundam
created for Operation Meteor, was
developed by Master O for the
Long clan of the L5 colony cluster.
The Shenlong's name means "God
Dragon" in Chinese, reflecting the
heritage of this proud warrior clan.
The Shenlong Gundam is designed
especially for melee combat, in
which capacity it benefits from the
martial arts skills of its pilot Chang
Wufei.
The Shenlong's main weapon is the
beam glaive stored on its back, a
long javelin-style weapon with far
greater reach than a normal beam
saber. Its most devastating
armament, though, is the "dragon
fang" built into its right arm. This
unique weapon combines an
extendable claw and a pair of
medium-range flamethrowers. In a
special "dragon fang fire" attack of
Wufei's own devising, the Shenlong
Gundam grapples its target with the
claws and then fires the
flamethrowers at point blank range,
melting the enemy's armor like
water.
