- Pteras

Pilots: Herman, O'connel

    The Pteras is a small aerial Zoid belonging to the Helic Republic. It is one of the first air craft units deployed on the battle field, and comes in a variety of variations, colors, and equipment, most of which is not intended for direct combat purposes. The standard issue of this Zoid is blue, but this scheme seems to be fighting for its position as the mainstream with the gold and blue Pteras.

Weapon Overview:
    16mm Vulcan Gun: The small nozzle on the right side of the Pteras' gun. It fires multiple shots in rapid succession.     Two Shot ASM Pod x2: These are the two guns that are on either side of the chest.

- Pteras BG

Pilots: Moonbay, O'connel, Herman

    "Beam Gatling"
    This Pteras is equipped with a Beam Gatling unit, which is installed around the top of the legs. It is one of few Pteras that actually have weapons installed, but the Zoid is almost always defeated before it can inflict any damage. Such is the life of a cannon fodder Zoid.
Featured Episodes: 45
Weapon Overview:
    Beam Gatling Unit x2: A high powered, rapid-firing weapon. This is installed to the sides of the Pteras, and it is one of the few Zoids to possess two of this weapon.
Equipment Overview:
    No custom equipment.




- New Helic Pteras

Pilots: Moonbay, Dr. D
    Although it has no official name, the blue and gold Pteras was first seen in New Helic City, deployed over the battle field. It is possible these Zoids instead came from Red River Base, but with so many in the air it's kind of hard to tell. They have golden wings (even when not in flight), golden jaw pieces, and golden feet, with the normal blue Pteras scheme. Otherwise, there appears to be nothing special about that.
