The Sinker has long been a terror of the seas, making use of its air-sea amphibious nature to sink Republican fleets. It first appeared in the old war and was later retrofit with new equipment to return to the battlefield. [1] |
- Military History
ZAC 2031, Rollout
The Sinker was mobilized on the battlefield as the first flying Zoid developed by the Zenebas Empire.
ZAC 2100, June, Battle on the Deldaros Ocean
Sinkers were sent to intercept a massive fleet crossing the Deldaros Ocean, aiming for Yubit Port. This fleet carried enough combat Zoids to pose a serious threat to the Guylos Empire, and their intent was to put a swift end to the war. They had to be stopped. Sinkers waited deep under the water's surface for the Republican fleet, and seemed to have won the fight. However, at the last moment, the Neo Turtle Ships that they were attacking opened up their bay doors, revealing the heavily-armed Zoids of the Republic, including the Gojulas the Ogre division. The Sinkers were almost entirely destroyed.
ZAC 2100, July, Second Launch
With the Republic's forces holed up at Rob Base, the Empire plotted to invade the base on a stormy night when the weather would limit the abilities of the Helic Republic's flying units. This invasion was supposed to receive reinforcements from the sea in the form of 10,000 aquatic combat Zoids, including Sinkers. However, the Sinkers were unable to break through the defensive net formed by Helic's new Hammer Head, and the attempt to destroy Rob Base failed.
- Equipment Information
- ARZ Accelerated Beam Gun x2
ARZ Accelerated Beam Gun x2: ARZ加速ビーム砲×2
Small guns located on the side of the head. These energy-based weapons are in a locked position, but the Sinker's natural flight abilities still allows them to be used well. The Sinker's best strategy is said to be performing torpedo runs under the surface of the water, then quickly changing gears to aerial combat, gunning down unsuspecting enemies with the beam guns. The weapon's overall power has improved over the original Zenebas version.
- Homing Torpedo x4
Homing Torpedo x4: ホーミング魚雷×4
Homing Torpedoes that are attached to the undersides of the Sinker's fins. These were swapped to the latest versions in ZAC 2100.
- Rocket Booster x2
Rocket Booster x2: ロケットブースター×2
The large silver cylinders under the Sinker's sides are rocket boosters. They're used for flight.
