For the 13th Gundam Fight, Neo Holland took an unconventional strategic approach to get to the Finals: not participating at all in the Gundam Fight. To accomplish this, the Nether Gundam was designed as a transforming mobile fighter that could become a windmill, which is what it did for 11 months. By hiding out and not fighting anyone, pilot Rutger Verhoeven technically qualified for the Finals. However, this devious tactic couldn’t make up for his poor skills as a fighter. Though the Nether Gundam was armed with mega beam cannons and possessed the ultimate attack Nether Typhoon, it was simply inferior to everything else in the Finals. In every match he fought, Paul was quickly and easily defeated by his opponents. After the 13th Gundam Fight ended, Neo Holland deployed 39 mass produced versions of the Nether Gundam as part of the World Gundam Federation that fought to defend Earth from the JDG-00X Devil Gundam.
