Shenlong Gundam:

The Shenlong Gundam is built by Master O from the L5 Colony. Reflecting the philosophy of Master O who specifically designed the machine's drive system, the Shenlong Gundam focused heavily on close combat and high agility, which was why it was the best close combat Gundam out of the five Gundams. Also, the joints were designed differently to allow the Shenlong Gundam have the range of motion to reproduce Chinese Martial Art. Since Meilan Long (Chang WuFei's wife) piloted the OZ-00MS Tallgeese and defended the Colony, the battle ended up Meilan Long (Nickname herself Nataku) couldn't handle the G-Force and died in WuFei's arms. Her death caused Chang WuFei to pilot the Shenlong Gundam and joined the 'Operation Meteor', calling the Shenlong Gundam as "Nataku" to remember his deceased wife.

Weapons:

Vulcan Gun: Mounted a pair of them on the head, they're shell-firing weapon that have a high fire rate but weak power, they're extremely useless against MS. However, it's really effective to shoot down incoming missiles or damage small parts on the MS, e.g. Sensor.

Beam Trident: For the Glory of Losers version, the Beam Trident served as the primary handheld weapon for the Shenlong Gundam. This weapon is similar to the Beam Glaive but it generates a bigger blade that looked like a Trident, this weapon can be store on the backpack when not in use.

Dragon Fang: A claw-like weapon that shaped like a Dragon's head, it's mounted on the right forearm and it will flipped forward when using it. In the TV version, the Dragon Fang can be extend and use it as a mid-range weapon as well. In the G.O.L version, the dragon fang was bigger and non-extendable. But both version were used in the same way - crushing the enemy. 

Flamethrower: A pair of them mounted at the side of the Dragon Fang, they're used as short-to-medium range weapon. When the Shenlong Gundam blast its flames to the enemy, this attack is called "Dragon Fang Fire", where the flamethrower will shoot out flames that will melt the enemy's armour.

Shenlong Shield: A simple and reliable shield, mainly used for defending enemy's attack. But this shield could be used as an offensive weapon as it could be used as a throwing weapon.

Liaoya: An additional weapon of the Shenlong Gundam, only appeared in the G.O.L version. This sword is connected to the Shenlong Shield via a cable attached to the bottom of the unit, since the cable is retractable, this Liaoya could be used as a throwing weapon as well.
