GF13-003NEL John Bull Gundam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GF13-003NEL John Bull Gundam was a Mobile fighter from the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. In the US dub its name was changed to Royal Gundam.
The John Bull Gundam was the Gundam of Neo-England. It was piloted by the renowned Gundam Fighter Gentle Chapman. Even though Chapman had won the Gundam Fight three times his age was catching up to him. As a result he became addicted to performance enhancing drugs.
Also, his wife assisted him by creating smokescreens to disrupt opponent Gundams' sensors. Also she sent out unmanned MET6-MS Casshing mobile suits to distract his opponents. This nearly led to disaster for George de Sand and Domon Kasshu when they fought him during the 13th Gundam Fight. Domon managed to defeat Chapman but Chapman died soon thereafter from drug side effects and overdosing.
Chapman was later reanimated by DG Cells and participated in the finals. During a fight with George de Sand the John Bull Gundam evolved into the Grand Gundam. George defeated it but the Gundam reverted back into the John Bull Gundam.
George later fought the Grand Gundam on Lantau Island with the help of Chibodee Crocket. The Grand Gundam was destroyed and Chapman killed. Parts of the Grand Gundam were later restored and became part of the Grand Master Gundam.
[edit] Design
The John Bull Gundam is simply designed after a British Royal Guard. Even the main weapon is a rifle designed after a British rifle.
[edit] Armaments/Abilities
The John Bull Gundam had no special moves and little armament. It had the standard machine cannons and head vulcans as most Gundams did. Its other weapon was a long beam rifle. This rifle took advantage of Chapman's marksmanship skills and allowed Chapman to get an accurate shot from a great distance.
