Neo India’s GF13-030NIN Cobra Gundam featured a rare combination of human pilot and animal. Fighter Chandra Sijiema rode atop a giant cobra snake to control the Cobra Gundam in its cobra mode. The Cobra Gundam’s design also included a cobra pot that Chandra could hide in or use as a weapon. The Cobra Gundam was armed with a flamethrower, but its main armament was a peepo sword. Chandra’s basic attack involved wrapping himself around an opponent in cobra mode and then separating from the tail. In mobile fighter mode, Chandra could attack his disabled opponent and beat them. This type of attack proved successful until he faced Domon Kasshu’s GF13-017NJII God Gundam in the Finals. To escape Chandra’s trap, Domon dislocated his own shoulder to give him maneuvering room to fly out of the coiled tail. Later, Chandra returned with several other defeated opponents to get his revenge on Domon. Despite losing to Domon, Chandra qualified for the Battle Royal, but he was killed by DG cell-infected Marcelot Cronos’ GF13-002NGR Zeus Gundam.
