EZ-044 Zabat
Type: Bat
Length: 10.2 meters
Height: 3.7 meters
Weight: 25 tons
Speed: Mach 2.8
Equipment: Homing Missile x1, 145mm Laser Gun x2, Doppler Radar x2, Magnesser Wings, Infrared Scope
Aerial Maneuverability:
Despite it's bad reputation the Zabat is actually a pretty maneuverable Zoid. It's not quite as good as the Raynos or Storm Sworder but it's about equal to that of the Redler at least and it's definitely much more maneuverable than the Pteras.
Armor Description:
While fast and agile, the Zabat's armor is rather poor. Covering most of it's body, it's relatively brittle and can't nearly as much punishment as the armor of a Raynos or Redler.
Homing Missile x1 - This large missile is located on the chest of the Zabat and can be fired at both air Zoids and ground targets. The missile is about twice as powerful as a standard missile and extremely tough to avoid. It can seek the heat signature of it's target as long as the pilot takes the time to gain a visual lock.
145mm Laser Gun x2 - Mounted inside the wings of the Zabat and locked in a forward locked position.
Doppler Radar x2 - The Zabat uses doppler radar to see in the dark, find stealth Zoids and gain a precious lock on other air Zoids.
Magnessor Wings - While the Zabat's wings aren't all that strong and have many gaps in them they are actually rather tough to destroy and rather advanced. Using a complex system of magnetics these wings allow the Zabat to fly and even hover in place. Additionally, the Zabat's wings are more resilient to damage since most fire will miss them altogether and they can still function with a few cracks.
Infrared Scope - The Zabat has the option of deploying a pair of goggles over it's eyes. The single-lensed scope offers it an infrared sensor to see heat signatures of other Zoids.
