- EZ-016 Saber Tiger



 Raven did a lot to boast the fame of this Zoid, but even without him, the Saber Tiger is a fierce looking machine famous in the Empire. The many iterations of this Zoid have found their way into most collections, and not for no reason. It looks amazing, and has many weapon parts. The only down side is that the way it stands often causes it to lilt far to one side, because the kit is not very weight balanced with the paw placement.

Zoids Battle Story 5

 ZAC 2099  The year is ZAC 2099... And the era of peace that has lasted for over 40 years has come to an end. The Intercontinental War that was once fought was fought between the Guylos Empire, whose territory was on the dark continent of Nyx, and the Helic Republic, which had unified the center continent, Delpoi. To settle the war, the Guylos Empire began to advance on the western continent, Europa.

 The aim of the Empire was to secure an invasion route to the central continent while avoiding the Triangle Daras, a strong electromagnetic sea that lied between the two countries. Upon catching wind of this information, the Helic Republic decided to dispatch their Zoids Combat Force immediately.

 However, the difference in strength between the Imperial Army, which ahd been preparing for the war for several years, and the Republican Army, which was lagging behind by several years, was clear. Only one week had transpired after the start of the war. The Republic's front lines were in serious danger. The main forces of both armies faced each other across the desert, both aiming for Mount Olympus, which was located in the south central part of the Western Continent. Known as the "Roof of Europa", this mountain was a strategically important location that overlooked the entire Western Continent. In the first battle of siege over this location, the Republican Army suffered a fatal defeat.

 Lake Mercurius, which surrounded Mount Olympus, had almost been completely overrun by the Empire. The Republic was barely able to hold its front lines by using the High-Speed Unit Command Wolves and Shield Ligers in surprise attacks. In this overwhelming war situation, this crimson Imperial Zoid set out to put an end to the Republic. The EZ-016 Saber Tiger boasts ultra-high-speed performance comparable to the Shield Liger.

Fuselage Explanation

 This is the Guylos Empire specification of the Sabre Tiger developed by the Zenebas Empire during the Central Continent War era. At that time, the Republican frontline soldiers were terrified of its ability to hit 200 km/h at maximum speed despite it being a large Zoid. After that, the Sabre Tiger, which had been dethroned from its position as the fastest large-scale Zoid by the appearance of the Shield Liger, was modified by the Guylos Empire to increase the output of its power engines and modify the cooling systems, resulting in a maximum speed of 240 km/h. Now, it has been revived as the Saber Tiger, and has been sent out onto the battlefield where its nemesis, the Shield Liger, awaits their timeless battle.
