The GF13-055NI Neros Gundam is a Mobile Fighter from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. It is piloted by Michelo Chariot of Neo Italy.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Gundam representing Neo Italy, the country had a long history of combat, most notably the Roman Empire of the ancient world. While the Neros Gundam may have been in the tradition of the old Roman Empire, Gundam Fighter Michelo Chariot was not. As a Mafia boss, Michelo and his gang of thugs terrorized Neo Italy, and Michelo used his Neros Gundam for his crimes. The Neros Gundam's armament consisted of two head-mounted vulcan guns, shoulder beam cannons, gladiatorial spikes in its knuckles and 16 satyricon beam cannons built into its legs. The beams on the right leg could be fired in unison to form a powerful beam attack known as Silver Legs.

History[]
The Neros Gundam represented Neo Italy during the 13th Gundam Fight, and was piloted by Michelo Chariot. It initially encountered and fought Domon Kasshu and his GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam, subsequently losing its head to the latter's Shining Finger. Disqualified from the Gundam Fight, Michelo was arrested by the local authorities. However, Michelo and the Neros Gundam would later reappear during the Gundam Fight Finals in Neo Hong Kong, under the command of the JDG-00X Devil Gundam. The Neros Gundam was consequently repaired with DG Cells and gained the ability to transform into the Gundam Heaven's Sword.
During the finals, Michelo once again faced Domon, and temporarily transformed into the Gundam Heaven's Sword, but reverted into the Neros Gundam after it was defeated. Finally, the Neros Gundam reappeared on Lantau Island during the Battle Royale, transforming again into the Gundam Heaven's Sword to fight Domon.
