The RB-79G Ball Work Type (aka Ball Type G) is a mobile pod that appears in Gundam Crisis.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Ball G-type was developed at the end of the One Year War, and was equipped with a huge crane arm instead of the cannon armament of the RB-79 Ball. Furthermore, with the addition of a sub-arms to the main manipulators, lights on the front of the body, and a winch unit, its performance was enhanced for work purposes. As the Ball G-type was designed with industrial-use in mind, it was mainly useful at construction sites.

History[]
In the manga "Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Rebellion", in U.C. 0083, several civilian volunteers belonging to Moon Base are engaged in clearing the wreckage of the Side 5 reef space. One of the machines is boarded by a spy from the remnants of the Principality Army, and is destroyed after being transferred to the MS-21C Dra-C that comes to pick them up.
In the manga "Gundam Legacy," in U.C. 0084, the "Silver Lance Operation", a terrorist plan aimed at indiscriminately attacking the Republic of Zeon with a vapor bomb, was carried out by the "Wolf's Hammer", a terrorist organization of the remnants of the Principality of Zeon. Lt. Lilia Flaubert, a remnant of the Principality of Zeon's armed forces who has obtained a vapor bomb, boards the Silver Lance, a nuclear pulse propulsion booster specification for interplanetary cruising, and launches a suicide attack on the Republic of Zeon. In order to stop this, MS units of the Republic of Zeon and Earth Federation forces attack, but the defense line is breached. In the end, Matt Healy, a former Federation pilot aboard the Ball G-type, and May Kauwin, a former mechanic in the Principality of Zeon's Foreign Legion, drove a wire with an anchor attached into the propulsion booster, penetrating its interior and deactivating it.
