GW-9900's were fairly common during the Seventh Space War, but, after the confrontation between the (Old) Earth Federation and the Space Revolutionary Army ,these units are very rarely seen.  Only one unit has been confirmed in existance since AW0001, and that is the Gundam Airmaster belonging to Witz Sou, a Mercenary pilot working for the Vulture ship Freeden.  

During a battle with the New Federations Gadeel (NRMA-006) Mobile Armors, Witz Sou's Unit was severly damaged, leaving most of it's frame intact, but shattering it's armor.  Since the damaged had occurred as a result of the Freeden's defense of the Kingdom of Estardo, the General in charge of the Estardo Military offered to help repair the unit.

Working side by side withe the Freeden's mobile suit mechanics, headed by Kid Salsamille, Estardo personnel not only repaired the Airmaster, but upgraded it as well.

The resultant Airmaster Burst Gundam (GW-9800-B) had a drastic increase in firepower, armor and appearance.  The new unit was also repainted from the traditional red/white to a newer blue/white pattern.  Although the Airmaster Burst was heavier than it's predecessor had been, the addition of several additional jets and thrusters meant that there was no loss in speed or maneuverability.

Witz Sou would soon take his rebuilt unit out into combat in defense of the Freeden, and it's allies, and there it proved to be more than a match for the new generation of New Federation Mobile Suits and Mobile Armors.

Pilot: Witz Sou
