GNX-Y802T Neo-Hed (aka Neo-Hed, "No Head"), is a experimental new generation GNX, featured in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The unit(s) was piloted by Amy Zimbalist and Deborah Galiena.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
A next generation machine developed using data that was gathered using machines such as the GNX-704T/AC Sakigake and GNX-704T/SP Smultron as testbeds.[1] In the initial stage of development, Earth Sphere Federation engineers planned to develop and mass produce two distinct series; a new GN-X model will serve as a lightweight MS and Neo-Hed as a heavy combat MS.[1] However, when the scandalous actions of the A-Laws were revealed to the world, for the sake of public opinion they had no choice but to cancel the development of a machine based on the Ahead which had effectively been exclusive to the A-Laws.[1]
The most distinctive feature of this machine was the elimination of its head.[1] Combat data had made it clear that the sensors concentrated in the head were often hit and destroyed in battle.[1] Thus, in this machine the head was eliminated, and the sensors were distributed throughout the body.[1] Thanks to this unusual style, this machine, which was originally to be called neo head, but became known as no head as a joke and the name stuck.[1] Although it had no problems with performance, this tragic machine ended with little more than ten prototypes due to political decisions.[1]
The Neo-Hed has additional verniers on its arms and legs.[1] In addition, they also double as GN Condensers.[1]
Armaments
- GN Beam Rifle
- A weapon that appears to be the same as the GN Beam Rifle used by GNX-704T Ahead. However, the Neo-Hed's version has a modification that allows it to mount a GN Beam Saber to be used as a bayonet.
- GN Beam Saber
- In addition to the beam saber mounted on the rifle (which is not listed as an independent weapon), the Neo-Hed has a traditional beam saber mounted on the left waist.
- GN Sword
- A large single edged solid sword lined with GN particles to increase its cutting abilities. This sword was specifically developed from the GNX-704T/AC Ahead Sakigake's data, and thus it made for left handed use.[1] The left handedness of the sword is only for the test unit and if placed into production would have been switched to the right hand.[1]

History
Because of the scandal of A-Laws, the Ahead-type machine for the next generation was decided to be rejected. In its place, a machine based on the Susanowo was used. The people who performed testing for the Neo-Hed that got rejected were Deborah and Amy Zimbalist. After the test, Deborah frankly said her thoughts to the engineer,“…Thank you”. For the first time, the face of the engineer lit with happiness. But Amy said, “I think it’s impossible that it doesn’t have a damned head!”. After this, the engineer said to Amy, “A head is nothing but a decoration!."[1] “Some words from this damned Steel Cowboy." They ended up in a scuffle.
