One of the neck details is blue instead of white like the rest of the body, and the limb armor and guns are white to match the body.  [1]

- History


Report, Episode 17

When Hermann went missing, O'Connell found himself frustrated by the Republic's inability to go searching for him. He hired Moonbay and Fine to steal a Pteras and go search for the missing pilot. They found him on the shore, claiming his Pteras had been shot down and that he'd been unable to make contact due to the jamming snow drifting down over the region. Moonbay and Fine returned to the Republic base, reporting that Hermann had seen two camouflaged battleships, disguised as icebergs making their way towards New Helic City. Without this early warning, the city would've been in extreme danger.


Mt. Ossa Base Destruction, Episode 18

With the invasion of the Imperial Army imminent, Krueger came to the decision to stay behind, detonating the Mt. Ossa base. This would've killed him as well, so Fine hit him over the head and her and Moonbay kidnapped him in their Pteras. Once they were safely in the air he reawaked, then tried to take over the Pteras to go back to the base and was knocked out again. The second time he woke up, he decided to instead appeal to them to try to manually set off the Mt. Ossa volcano by bombing it with the Pteras's missiles. Though they agreed, it failed to work, and the Pteras was shot down by Raven. They would've been killed had Bang not shown up to challenge Raven.


The Zoid Hunters, Episode 40

A Pteras closely matching the Training Machine was seen in the Whale King hangars of the Zoid Hunters, a group that was scooping up Zoids from wherever they could. These Zoids were being used for cruel core experiments that had thus far resulted in the core's death, but this Pteras a set free by Fine before it could be used for such purposes.
