| REVIEW |
| As the 13th Gundam Fight continued, the JDG-00X Dark Gundam created Four Heavenly Kings for its protection: GF13-001NHII Master Gundam, Grand Gundam, Raven Gundam and Walter Gundam. The Grand Gundam first appeared when three of the Heavenly Kings attempted to stop Domon Kasshu from reaching the Gundam Fight Finals on time. The monstrous Grand Gundam came with several armaments, including two grand horns which could be used to impale an opponent. While the Grand Gundam usually stood on four legs, it could switch to two and use its massive front legs to crush an opponent. The four hands on the main body could also shoot out as projectile weapons or to help it move its massive frame. They also doubled as grand bombers, which could fire nearly unlimited ammunition charges. After its initial appearance, the Grand Gundam returned again during the Finals. While George de Sand fought Gentle Chapman's GF13-003NEL Royal Gundam, the Grand Gundam appeared out of a cloud of black mist. George barely managed to repel the Grand Gundam with his rose bits. The Grand Gundam returned again when Chapman attacked Domon's GF13-017NJII Burning Gundam on Lantao Island. Chibodee Crocket and George came to Domon's aid and managed to destroy the Grand Gundam, but their own Gundams were heavily damaged in the battle.

| Neo England's GF13-003NEL Royal Gundam was a suit built for a champion. In fact, Gentle Chapman won the 9th, 10th and 11th Gundam Fights consecutively, which gave Neo England control over the United Colonies Federation from FC 40 through FC 56. Chapman's three time winning streak ended when he was defeated in FC 56 in the 12th Gundam Fight by Neo Hong Kong's Master Asia. While the Royal Gundam was equipped with the standard complement of head vulcans and machinecannons, it was designed to take full advantage of Chapman's sharpshooting skills to bring him back on the path to victory. Its main weapon was a powerful long beam rifle that Chapman could use to accurately shoot his enemy from a distance. Despite his skills and his previous victories, Chapman's body took a beating from his many battles, and as a result he became addicted to stimulants to keep him in focus. His wife Manon decided to secretly help him by cheating during the Gundam Fights. She set up an elaborate system of fog machines and used remote-controlled MET6-MS Casshing mobile suits to wear down enemies so that Chapman could finish them off. Neo France's George de Sand was defeated in such a manner, and he warned Neo Japan's Domon Kasshu of the danger. During a battle with Chapman, Domon's GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam nearly fell victim to the same tactics, but Domon was assisted by George and able to defeat Chapman. Despite being disqualified by losing his Gundam's head, Chapman was later allowed to enter the Gundam Fight Finals with another disqualified Fighter, Neo Italy's Michelo Chariot. By this time Chapman had become a mindless minion of the JDG-00X Dark Gundam, and his Royal Gundam could transform into the ridiculously huge Grand Gundam, which became a menace to both Domon and George.
