To enable space combat, the NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron was upgraded into the NRX-0015-HC Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab. Besides featuring new, larger backpack and leg units, the Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab also has improved propulsion system for higher mobility. When transformed into its Mobile Armor (MA) Mode, the mobile suit's defensive capability is enhanced as most of its body, except for its legs, are enveloped by the large backpack. The MA mode also has higher flight speed, matching that of the GS-9900 G-Falcon in space and on Earth.

The Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab is armed with a beam saber and two machine cannons like its predecessor, but the atomic scissors have been replaced by the larger and more destructive gigantic scissors, which also have a built-in beam cannon each. Additionally, the mobile suit later gained the powerful Satellite Launcher, which has firepower comparable to the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X's Twin Satellite Cannons. Usable only in MA mode, the launcher is mounted atop and requires the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break to operate it as some of the equipment for firing the weapon is installed in this other Gundam.
