In the anime series Gundam X, the Rasveyt was one of the new mobile suits of the New Earth Federation, designed exclusively for use by Newtype pilots. The Rasveyt was the forth mobile suit which was sent out by the Frost brothers to destroy the stolen GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X. Although the mobile suit was lightly armed with a beam saber and beam rifle, it most powerful weapon were the Rasveyt bits, which were controlled by a flash system similar to the Old Earth Federation’s Gundams. Unlike the bits of the Gundams, the Rasveyt bits looked exactly like the “true” Rasveyt, which makes it difficult to find the piloted unit. Bauer later fought against Freeden crews and although it looked like he would win at first, Garrod Ran manage to beat him with help of his Newtype girlfriend, Tiffa Adill. The Rasveyt was heavily damaged, Bauer flew and later killed by the Frost brothers.
