RZ-029 Storm Sworder
Type: Pteranodon
Length: 10.1 meters
Height: 12.9 meters
Weight: 47 tons
Speed: Mach 3.2
Equipment: Top Laser Sword, Wing Laser Sword x2, 40mm double-barreled Laser Machine Gun x2, Iron Claw x2, Engine Pod x2, Thruster Engine
Aerial Maneuverability:
As a dog-fighter, and one of the most advanced air Zoids to date, the Storm Sworder has ideal combat agility and aerial maneuverability. Combined with it's amazing speed it is only slightly less maneuverable than a Raynos and slightly more maneuverable than a Redler and significantly better than a bomber-type air Zoid like the Pteras.
Armor Description:
While fast and agile the armor of the Storm Sworder is less than desirable in a Zoid but still good enough for air combat. Covering the entire Zoid, the Storm Sworder's armor is about equal in strength to the armor of the Raynos and Redler.
Top Laser Sword - The retractable forehead spike on the head of the Storm Sworder can be charged up with laser energy.
Wing Laser Sword x2 - Integrated into the wings they are basically a Blade Liger's blades on wings. Once deployed they extend forward a bit and are charged with laser energy to cut through nearly anything.
40mm double-barreled Laser Machine Gun x2 - Essentially four guns, two are mounted on either wing. They have a little bit of movement for aiming but not much else and mostly point straight forward.
Iron Claw x2 - On the front center of each wing there is a sharp iron claw. The use of these claws is rather limited on the Storm Sworder.
Engine Pod x2 - Two supplementary engines locatedo n the back of the Storm Sworder. They leave a tell-tale smoke trail behidn them when activated. When not in use they don't leave a trail but reduce the Storm Sworder's speed to only Mach 2.
Thruster Engine - THe primary engine of the Storm Sworder and located on the chest inside a solid plate of armor the Storm Sworder pretty much can't fly without it.
