{"title":"KUMA-03 Beargguy III","description":"\u003cp\u003eKUMA-03 Beargguy III is China Kousaka's custom Gunpla from \u003cem\u003eGundam Build Fighters\u003c\/em\u003e (2013–14), built on the KUMA-02 Beargguy II. China is in her school's art club and the paintwork is the whole idea: a bear-shaped machine finished like a stuffed toy. It has no place in any Gundam timeline, because within the show it is a model and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChina debuts it in Gunpla Battle and flies it on its oddities rather than its firepower, changing the model's expression mid-fight and letting its body take hits that should have ended the match. Its battle with the SD Knight Gundam is where the cotton packed inside the body turns a physical attack into something the suit simply absorbs. It also appears in \u003cem\u003eGundam Build Fighters: GM's Counterattack\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree beam cannons, one of them in the mouth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nTwo sit in the extendable paws and one in the mouth, which has to open before it fires. The paw cannons can also generate beam sabers for close work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts face is a screen.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nAn LCD panel above the mouth and nose changes the eye expression during a battle, so the model's face is a display rather than a moulded mask.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is stuffed with cotton.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nChina filled the body with cotton to match the idea of a plush toy turned robot. When the armour is pierced the stuffing expands and pushes back against some physical attacks, and it can be spat out of the mouth cannon to trap an opponent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe ribbon on its back is a flight pack.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Ribbon Striker is a custom pack that works as a flight unit.
