Technical
and Historical Notes
|
Neo Mexico's GF13-049NM Tequila Gundam was designed to take advantage
of the skills of its powerful pilot, Chico Rodriguez. Unlike other
Gundams, the Tequila Gundam was equipped with ten head vulcans
in its sombrero, as well as two beam tridents. All Gundam Fighters
had reasons for entering the 13th Gundam Fight, and for Chico,
his reason was to escape to Earth with his sister Gina. After
Gina contracted a terminal disease on the Neo Mexico colony, Chico
became a Gundam Fighter so that they could go down to Neo Mexico
on Earth and spend what time they had left on the ocean. However,
Neo Mexico did not like the idea of its Gundam Fighter escaping
and killing off his opponents outside the Gundam Fight. This changed
after an encounter with Domon Kasshu and his GF13-017NJ
Shining Gundam. After convincing Chico to join him in a Gundam
Fight, Domon partially destroyed the Tequila Gundam so that Chico
could escape and live with his sister. To the eyes of the Neo
Mexican authorities, Chico died valiantly fighting for his country.
