The MSA-007T Nero Trainer Type was a high mobility version of the MSA-007 Nero equipped with binders on its shoulders. These binders contained propellant tanks and nuclear thermal rocket engines similar to those installed in the Nero’s backpack, giving this version superb maneuverability and performance. The mobile suit had smaller shoulder armor so as not to interfere with the movement of the binders, and vulcan guns were installed in its head. Its high performance made this version an excellent aggressor machine in the hands of a skilled pilot, and it was usually employed as a trainer for combat instruction purposes. During the Pezun Rebellion, one Nero Trainer Type was carried aboard the Taskforce Alpha flagship Pegasus III for use by mobile suit squadron commander Stole Mannings. Although Mannings used this machine mainly for pilot training, on April 4, UC 0088, he took it into combat in a suicidal attempt to protect the Pegasus III from the mobile armor AMA-100 Z’od-iacok.
