A little from column A, a little from column B. They're pretty fun to build but they're also definitely a joke.

Balls are essentially TIE Fighters; Mass-produced, moderately armed, completely disposable (They're cheap zero-g work pods with guns strapped on). Iirc, the battles they won had staggering losses, and the Federation just stuffed more people into the drat things to pad out the limited number of GM's they had.

They are good at grabbing a suit arm, spinning around, and firing its cannon point blank, though.

Surprised there was never a stealth ball designed to do that more often.

The big benefit was just how cheap they were. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it was something
absurd, like trading ten balls for one Zaku would put the Feddies at the advantage economically. Better, while the Ball wasn't exactly an unstoppable super weapon, they could usually trade much better.

Cheap, easy to use, and good enough. Basic Feddie strategy for the One Year War, and a big part of why they won over Zeon's endless parade of ridiculous super weapons.

If GMs came from Gundam test data, then Balls must come from this mighty prototype

Zeon losing their best pilots to hunting Amuro certainly didn't hurt on the warfronts they'd be otherwise present at.

Well, most of their best.

Johnny, Shin, and Breniss managed to avoid the blender.

(I say this every time, but I love that Zeon's top ace just... quit after the war. Everyone else is consumed by war and conflict, he just goes "what a senseless waste of human life" and goes back to his begonias.)

I think he meant phallic as in the whole suit resembles a phallus, so if you put a couple balls next to it it would look like a dick and balls. not phallic as in the suit itself has a penis

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?


HG Transient Glacier + red Gundam Pen + my first time building a Gunpla in years = whatever the dick is going on here.

Edit: Raised to the power of my potato phone camera.

Edit 2: Progress report.

Edit 3: Mission complete!



The red was a good choice. This is about 12 hours of work, I'd say, counting a few times I took a break to let paint dry and then :effort:ed on putting on a second coat with a stubborn Gundam Marker.

It's a really fancy-looking kit, once I used some paint to break up the assault of gray/black/purple. Lots of translucent plastic, lots of swooshy pointy bits. Downside, this thing is really going to hog shelf real estate, especially since it can't really stand on its own feet, and it's hard to find good places to grip it where I don't feel like I'm about to break something.

But, with all that purple plastic, if you have an orange light...



Something something trans-am system.
