The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

1/35 Scale.

The prototype VS that served as the basis for PTX­40A (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 GTF­11. It was also outfitted with the VS Caliber, a close­quarter weapon useful against both Akrid and the mass­produced 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.) The Early Model retains some elements of the PTX­40A, such as a special sensor array and a chain gun. These features were omitted in the design of the Late Model; however, they made a return with the advent of the R­Types in the A.T. era.
