Specifications
Data PlateAbout the RB-79 Ball
The RB-79 Ball was developed by the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War as an emergency combat unit based on a civilian work pod. Equipped with a powerful 180mm cannon and reinforced armor, the Ball served primarily as a support unit alongside Federation mobile suits. While often viewed as an underpowered machine compared to dedicated mobile suits, it played a significant role in several major battles and became one of the most recognizable support units in the Gundam Universal Century timeline. The Ver.Ka sub-line, supervised by Hajime Katoki, updates classic designs like this one with refined proportions, added mechanical detail, and engineering enhancements aimed at display accuracy for experienced builders.
