Technical and Historical Notes
Neo Russia's entry in the 13th Gundam Fight relies on raw power. With that power, the GF13-013NR Bolt Gundam could crush other mobile fighters in a bear hug. Aside from its raw strength, the Bolt Gundam also utilized a graviton hammer as its main attack weapon. Gundam Fighter Argo Gulskii was an odd choice as a pilot, mainly because he was a convicted criminal and former space pirate. His criminal past is something he was forced to confront in the present, as Neo Canada's Gundam Fighter Andrew Graham blamed Argo for the death of his wife Norma. Five years earlier, Argo's spaceship crashed into a space station the Grahams were working on. Despite Argo's efforts to save her, Norma was sucked out into space and lost. After this Graham developed an intense hatred for Argo and became Neo Canada's Gundam Fighter simply so that he could kill Argo.
While the Bolt Gundam was very powerful, at first the government of Neo Russia wouldn't allow Argo to even fight. In an ingenious tactic they would draw Gundam Fighters to Neo Russia for a fight and then detain them in prison for the rest of their lives. In this manner they could eliminate their competition and get into the Finals without even fighting. This technique was used until Argo fought against Domon Kasshu and his GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam. The Bolt Gundam's main armament consisted of four head-mounted vulcan guns and one Graviton hammer for close range attacks. Like the rest of the Shuffle Alliance, Argo trained in the Guyana Highlands and developed a Hyper Mode and a new final move: the Zakaretsu Gaia Crusher. This powerful attack could make the ground spike up to either surround an enemy or impale him. Despite a draw with Domon, Argo qualified for the Finals and Battle Royale and participated in the final battle against the JDG-00X Devil Gundam.
