RGM-79MB GM Motorball

The RGM-79MB GM Motorball is a high velocity combat variant of the RGM-79F GM Desert Type. It is piloted by the former street racer, Kanuba.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The GM Motorball was specifically made for high velocity combat, as such it features less armour to allow for greater speeds and flexibility. The most unique and deadly aspect of the GM Motorball is the Drag Cutters which are located on the suit's right manipulator. The fingers of the suit are attached via razor-sharp metal chains and can be extended and used to either impale or shred the opponent MS. It features high-power thrusters on the backpack and wheels at the bottom of it's feet, this allows it close in on an enemy MS with quick and deadly precision.

Armaments

 * Beam Saber
 * Like most other GM's, the Motorball carries one beam saber located on it's backpack but unlike an ordinary beam saber, it is capable of cutting through any gunpla that has been treated with anti-beam coating.
 * Twin Beam Spear
 * The Drag Cutters are five claws that are attached to the suit's right hand unit via serrated metal chains. These weapons can be controlled by the pilot akin to funnels. The long reach of these weapons gives the Motorball an advantage in melee combat. This is Kanuba's main weapon.
 * Beam Gun
 * The standard armament for Federation space forces. Maximum effective range of 1 kilometer.
 * Kanuba rarely uses this weapon as it does not fit his combat style.

History
Kanuba first uses the GM Motorball in the race portion of the GBWC where he uses his drag cutters to subsequently annihilate most of the competitors in his race. He has some trouble with a Gundam Arios in Trans-Am mode, but it was soon eviscerated by the GM Motorball.
