The Vulcans in the nose have been traded out for beam cannons, and a new addition rather than replacement, is the booster beam cannon. However, the buster rifles still remain it's main weapon. Making a return to aid in the Airmaster's mobility is the Trans-System, the ability of the Airmaster (and now Airmaster Burst) to transform into an airplane.

The Airmaster Burst first debuts in episode 26, aiding in Estardo's fight against the New Federation. After making short work of the new models, Witts has to fight Olba Frost and the Ashtaron. Airmaster Burst has little trouble with Ashtaron, and eventually, Ashtaron leaves when Olba finds that their mission is over. Airmaster Burst continues to fight for Estardo until it's conquered by the New Federation. Following the conquest, Airmaster Burst undergoes modifications for space flight and aids the Freeden in stopping the war between the New Federation and the Space Rebellion. Unlike the Double X, the Airmaster Burst is not destroyed during the last battle, and so its final fate is unknown. However, though Witts settles down at the end of the TV series, it would make sense to assume that his Gundam isn't too far away, just in case he should need it again.
