Wow, I can hardly believe this is a Gundam series I'm reading. So far it's a manga about assassins in a world that happens to have Gundams in it. It's weird, but it's... fresh. There is also a notable lack of pilots, maybe Kaoris will be one in a future chapter.
So the Neos are evolutions of Newtypes, whose powers are now basically magic/full-blown ESP... not that I'm complaining. Never expected to see Newtype-derivatives gain abilities like super fast regen, blood "magic" and now ice "magic".
