Technical
and Historical Notes |
Neo
England's GF13-003NEL John Bull Gundam was a suit built for
a champion. In fact, Gentle Chapman won the 9th, 10th and 11th
Gundam Fights consecutively, which gave Neo England control
over the United Colonies Federation from FC 40 through FC 56.
Chapman's three time winning streak ended when he was defeated
in FC 56 during the 12th Gundam Fight. While the John Bull Gundam was equipped with the standard
complement of head vulcans and machine cannons, it was designed to take full advantage of Chapman's sharpshooting
skills to bring him back on the path to victory. Its main weapon was a powerful long beam rifle that Chapman
could use to accurately shoot his enemy from a distance.
Despite
his skills and his previous victories, Chapman's body took a
beating from his many battles, and as a result he became addicted
to stimulants to keep him in focus. His wife Manon decided to
secretly help him by cheating during the Gundam Fights. She
set up an elaborate system of fog machines and used remote-controlled
MET6-MS Casshing mobile suits to wear
down enemies so that Chapman could finish them off. Neo France's
George de Sand was defeated in such a manner, and he warned
Neo Japan's Domon Kasshu of the danger. During a battle with
Chapman, Domon's GF13-017NJ Shining
Gundam nearly fell victim to the same tactics, but Domon
was assisted by George and able to defeat Chapman. Despite being
disqualified by losing his Gundam's head, Chapman was later
allowed to enter the Gundam Fight Finals with another disqualified
Fighter, Neo Italy's Michelo Chariot. By this time Chapman had
become a mindless minion of the JDG-00X
Devil Gundam, and his John Bull Gundam could transform into
the ridiculously huge Grand Gundam,
which became a menace to both Domon and George.
