The GF11-033NNP Tantra Gundam is a mobile fighter that briefly appears in the TV anime Mobile Fighter G Gundam.
History[]
A mobile fighter representing Neo Nepal in the 11th Gundam Fight. It is characterized by the absence of a head blade antenna and a visor-shaped head sensor. It was one of the favorites to win the 11th tournament because of its unrivaled fighting skills using the beam claws on both arms, combined with the outstanding skills of the Gundam Fighter, Kyral Mekirel. However, in the finals, the mobile fighter was defeated when a beam claw became stuck in the ground, and at the same time, Kyral was slow to react to an attack from his opponent with the sun at his back, resulting with his machine being dismembered by the gunfire of Gentle Chapman's Britain Gundam. At that time, an explosion in the cockpit would cause Kyral to lose his eyesight.
