GF13-049NM Tequila Gundam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GF13-049NM Tequila Gundam was a Mobile fighter from the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. In the US dub its name was changed to Spike Gundam.
The Tequila Gundam was the Gundam of Neo-Mexico piloted by Chico Rodriguez. Chico however, did not want to fight as his sister, Gina, contracted a terminal illness on the colony. He became a fighter so he could take her to Earth and spend what time they had left together. Chico hid the Gundam and killed the fighters that wanted to challenge him.
When Domon Kasshu of Neo-Japan arrived, Chico attempted to kill him but Domon escaped and tried to help Chico while searching for Kyoji. However the plan began to fall apart when Chibodee Crocket showed up. Despite his interference Domon was able to get Chico to fight in a match.
Domon used the Shining Finger on the Gundam and after an explosion it appeared the Gundam's cockpit was destroyed. The Neo-Mexican officials believed Chico dead and left the area.
Shortly afterward Chico emerged from the ocean having survived the match as the only part of his Gundam that was destroyed was the head. Now that the government was no longer hunting him, Chico and Gina could live in peace.
[edit] Armaments/Abilities
The Tequila Gundam had no known special abilitied but it did have some armament. It had two beam tridents stored on the backpack for melee combat and ten head vulcans. The head vulcans went around the sombrero which allowed the Gundam to fire in an alomost three-hundred sixty degree radius.
