1/35 Scale.
The prototype VS that served as the basis for PTX-40A (a.k.a. Ivan) was not a
practical choice for combat because of its heavy frame and the amount of
power required to achieve thrust. To overcome these deficiencies, the main
body, internal mechanisms, and rear power pack were redesigned with lighter
and simpler components. This reduced its overall weight to giving it hovering
and dashing capabilities that far outstripped the GTF-11. It was also outfitted
with the VS Caliber, a close-quarter weapon useful against both Akrid and the
mass-produced generic VSs.
The Hardballer's manufacturer is unknown, and only a few of these models are
known to exist. (One theory holds that it was developed by Snow Pirates to aid
them in their efforts to impede NEVEC's colonization activities.) Their
prominence in the A.T. era is thought to be the result of extraneous parts being
used to rebuild the pieces of a destroyed Hardballer into multiple, new VSs.
The R-Type, as it is now called, is an improved version of the original with a
more durable frame and increased mobility. It also comes standard with a
machine gun on its right side, which enhances its fire power, and, by default, its
utility in combat.
