As an example of how boring the old 1/100 manuals were, by the way, it wasn't until the MG manual that the purple bits on the GX got a name. "Energy condensors", if you were curious.
The After War era is severely lacking in tech lore in general. GX and DX are probably the most fully fleshed out of the lot, Airmaster and Leopard have very little, while Virsago and Ashtaron have fucking nothing. The most interesting bit of non-GX lore I can even think of is that an old Hobby Japan collection of Gundam X builds featured two variants of the Airmaster, a prototype and a final battle variant that gave it twin satellite cannons.
