Training, Episode 2
Four Gilraptor (Empire Spec.) are seen taking part in training exercises against the Bazootle.
Scavenger, Episode 6
A teal Gilraptor was seen piloted by the primary speaker of a scrap dealing group. They had obtained some Zoid parts and made a deal with Dr. Frank Land to exchange them for unspecified assets. However, upon learning that these parts were for the Genospino, he tried to demand more profit for their efforts. Dr. Land responded by ordering the Zoids destroyed, which was carried out by a nearby hidden Bazootle.
Rogue Unit, Episode 12, Gilraptor GU
Eight Gilraptors appeared in the Genospino unit, and accompanied it while it marched toward Neo Helic. This unit was treated as a rogue operation that broke off from the Imperial Army, and the Empire denied any alliance to it, effectively washing their hands of blame.

Primary Army: Imperial Army
The Empire uses Gilraptors in their army, and have made a number of modifications to bring them beyond their standard form. These raptors are equipped with A-Z Anti-Aircraft Guns, Headlights, and Illumination Flares, as well as the Z-O Visor that is standard to most Imperial Army Zoids. They're typically beige with their cockpits situated on the back of the neck.

2Equipment Information
A-Z Anti-Aircraft Gun x2
These long weapons are isntalled to the Gilraptor's legs, not only providing it with some much-needed gun power but also allowing it to serve as backup against flying units.
Headlights
Gilraptors belonging to the Empire are equipped with headlights that light up the ground in front of them. This seems to only be preferable for short distances, and if they encounter a threat, they will stop to evaluate the situation using their other lighting options.
Illumination Flares
These brilliant, purple flares are fired from somewhere around the Gilraptor's back. They sail high into the air and provide better lighting on the battlefield, improving the Gilraptor's visibility beyond just straight ahead. The second image above is an example of lighting after the flares are used.

- Gilraptor (Scrap Dealer)
Pilot(s): ---
Primary Army: Imperial Army
This Gilraptor was seen belonging to a man who appeared to lead a scrap dealing group, or at least gave the orders. It sported a teal color scheme with red eyes and gold Wild-style caps, and appeared to sport headlights similar to new age Imperial Gilraptors. Its primary weapons were the Power Rifles installed to the tops of its arms. It was destroyed by Bazootles after the pilot tried to negotiate a better deal with Frank Land.

6Equipment Information
Headlights
This Gilraptor is equipped with a wide headlight installed to the chest to give it better visibility at night.
Power Rifle x2
The Zoids belonging to this group of scrap dealers both had Power Rifles. In the Gilraptor's case, they were installed to the tops of the arms, which would give decent control in terms of where they can aim.
