- Zoids Original: Command Wolf RGC

ZOIDS Command Wolf RGC [Railgun Custom]

The third release of Zoids Original is the famous machine Commandwolf!
It appears, loaded with an original railgun!


    - What is the Commandwolf Railgun Custom?

    One of the custom machines of the famous machine "Commandwolf", which has been active since the age of the Central Continent War.

    It is a machine that was hurriedly equipped with an experimental type of railgun, which can pierce the armour of large-scale Zoids with high-speed bullets at long range, for use against the Geno Ritter.

    It supplies power to the railgun with the Hyper Capacitors and Transmissiosion Unit equipped in place of the Smoke Discharger device on existing Commandwolves, and fires a specially-designed bullet (the Fang Bullet) at high speed.

    However, this railgun is an experimental type for tests, and furthermore, since in the current operation it will be supplied with several times as much power as is normally used and fire the bullet at super-high speed in a sniping attack, the points of contact will evaporate and it will only be able to fire one shot.

    A platoon of Commandwolves, composed of Railgun Customs piloted by three new recruits and Zappa, who has retired from the Trap Commandos, confronts the formidable foe Geno Ritter!

- Package Illustration and Variations



This product can be assembled in form [01], [02] or [03] as below by selecting parts.


- Assembly Example 01: COMMANDWOLF RGC

    Though it possesses an extremely long barrel, the Railgun has a simple structure with small mechanisms and is lightweight. In addition, the recoil is less than that of guns that use gunpowder, so its precision and accuracy are high. It also has the merit of being able to fire super-high speed physical bullets with high penetration power at long range, without any extreme changes in power and range due to attenuation from sand, dust or bad weather like laser weaponry would have. Making use of the Commandwolf's manoeuvrability, it can carry out the tactic of searching for enemies and sniping them from a great distance.

    The parts attached to its shoulders have posture control devices for precise firing added inside, and in order to protect these, a limiter kicks in when the railgun is equipped, so its maximum speed has fallen slightly.



    Strengthened equipment has become necessary for sniping with the railgun. One item is the Variable Head Scope, which captures opponents with a zoom function.

    In addition, it is equipped with special armour on its forelegs that has been strengthened to triple the previous amount, specialising in defence against attacks from the front, and this protects its legs and power units.

    Railgun firing sequence: (1) The Railgun in its shortest position slides forwards, (2) the front of the barrel slides forwards into its longest position, (3) then it lowers its Spike Anchors and enters the firing posture. (4) It connects the Electric Transmission Units to the Railgun. (5) After locking on, the pilot pulls the trigger, power is supplied and it fires.

- Assembly Example 02: ZAPPA ver. Late Model

    The personal machine of Zappa, who is an excellent pilot and instructor. This is a later model after entering the Federation age, and its equipment has been swapped out for that of the "Interceptor" base, the mass-produced machine.

    It is equipped with head armour called the "Dragon Head" as its characteristic equipment. In addition, it deals with the job of the gunner usually needed for the Long Range Rifle with a new model of firing control device, and is now able to perform quick and accurate firing under the control of Zappa himself.



- Assembly Example 03: COMMANDWOLF [INTERCEPTOR]

    A Commandwolf for interception, equipped with a Long Range Rifle.

    It is a mass-produced machine with the goal of national defence, normally deployed by the Federation after the end of the Central Continent War.

    It can maintain its maximum speed for a long time, and its main duty is to head out to intercept enemies in a short time and suppress them with the highly powerful Long Range Rifle.
