Armor Description:
The Helcat, being designed primarily for recon, scouting, and quick strike missions instead of heavy assault, doesn't have much in the way of armor. It covers the entire body and is strong considering it's size but overall it's still relatively weak.
Stealth Shield - Unlike the Shadow Fox's optical stealth camouflage, the Helcat's stealth shield is designed to make the Helcat completely invisible at any range or speed. However, the Helcat is temporarily revealed every time it fires a weapon. Also, while the stealth shield is activated the Helcat can't use 3D mapping, radar, or even standard visual sensors. It has only the standard audio and infrared sensors to see Zoids.
IR and Noise Suppression - The Helcat features many interesting internal mechanisms including a silencing capability on its legs and a constantly circulating heat dispensing system throughout it's body. Together, the Helcat can make itself move with little to no noise and a significantly lessened heat signature, making it nearly invisible to infrared and audio sensors.
Composite Sensor Unit - Consisting of infrared, 3D mapping, and radar, this sensory unit allows the Helcat to see almost any stealth Zoid and map out the nearby terrain. It is a small box located on the front of the back near the neck.
3D Radar Antenna - The Helcat's tail not only offers balance for the Helcat but also serves as a 3D Radar Antenna. Other than consisting of the 3D mapping and radar already available to the composite sensor unit it also is capable of transitting the data to other Zoids.
20mm double-barreled Laser Machine Gun - Mounted on the chest in a forward locked position.
AZ20mm double-barreled Beam Cannon - Mounted on the back in a forward facing position with a little bit of vertical and horizontal pivoting for aiming.
