Large, defense batteries stationed at various locations in Capcom's 1991 Mega Man 4 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game. Upon spotting an intruder, a Gachappon begins to launch iron balls from the tall column mounted on its back and/or fires energy blasts from the cannon in its "mouth" at the offender. Gachappons can't move, but have relatively thick armor plating that allows them to withstand a fair amount of punishment.
Materials:
Cardboard, white paper, colored paper, plastic, red gumballs, white glue, hot glue, and ink.
Dimensions:
