The VF-11 Thunderbolt is one of the oldest variable fighter designs still in active use.  The age of the design is a tribute to its durability and effectiveness. With widespread production of both the VF-17 and VF-19 on the rise, the design of the Thunderbolt was forced to adapt.  Most notable of these adaptations is the VF-11E variant, which saw upgrades in the pilot's cockpit interface as well as the addition of a Pin Point Barrier.

With the success of the VF-11E upgrade, Shinsei Industries decided to produce an limited number of improved Thunderbolts.  The VF-11G is a limited production model (not just an upgrade) which incorporates all of the new systems of the VF-11E, as well as the much more FF-2099A engines, identical to those used in the ill-fated VF-16. Paired with a new line of FAST packs, the VF-11G Thunderbolt is a deadly interceptor.
