The GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam is developed for the purpose of conducting surprise attacks deep behind enemy lines. It is the only unit among the five prototypes created under the Alliance's G Project to use the X200 series frame that is designed to support special systems. In this case, the Mirage Colloid Stealth System that renders Blitz invisible to both sensors and the naked eye. The suit is painted mainly black to enhance the effectiveness of the stealth system and is fitted with other systems to ensure the silent operation of internal mechanisms and systems, as well as to control the heat dissipation while cloaked. Like the other four units, Blitz is also equipped with Phase Shift armor system, but unlike them, it does not have any built-in weaponry like the CIWS. Its armament are all arm-mounted and consists of a grappling claw and an offensive shield system, which mounts both melee and range, beam as well as non-beam weapons.

The Blitz Gundam is one of five mobile suits created by the Earth Alliance under its G Project during the First Alliance-PLANT War. Together with the other four units, it was stored secretly in the Orb Union controlled space colony Heliopolis.

On January 25, C.E. 71, the Blitz, along with three other mobile suits of the project, the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam, the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam, and the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam were stolen by ZAFT, with Nicol Amalfi becoming its designated pilot.[2] Together with his comrades, Nicol used his suit to pursue the Archangel so as to capture the last G Project machine, the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam.

During the Archangel's stay in the Eurasian Federation-controlled Artemis asteroid, Nicol used the Blitz's Mirage Colloid system to infiltrate the asteroid base, successfully bypassing the "Umbrella of Artemis" and severely damaging the facility.[3] The Blitz later participated in the Battle of Orbit against the Earth Alliance's 8th space fleet with the other three stolen Gundams, destroying several TS-MA2 Moebius units and a Nelson-class battleship.[4]

In March, the Blitz was sent to Earth with the Aegis and assigned to the Zala Team. The team then launched an attack on the Archangel in the Third Equatorial Skirmish, where the Blitz was knocked off its Guul sub-flight lifter by the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam.[5]

In mid April, the Blitz lost its right arm in combat with the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam during the Battle near Orb. Despite the damage, Nicol still had it charged towards the Sword Strike to protect the Aegis, piloted by his friend Athrun Zala. However, it ended up running into the Sword Strike's anti-ship sword, killing Nicol, with the Blitz exploding soon after.[6]
