History

Incident, Episode 4

There were multiple Raptoria stationed at an excavation site that had been secured by the Republic. When the Empire tried to invade, the Raptoria left explosives, typically used for their excavation efforts, all around the underground parking garage. When they detonated, it disrupted the battle, and the Empire was forced to retreat.

Incident, Episode 5

Many Raptors were involved in a stand-off against Imperial forces, which were vying for control over an ancient city thought to contain excavation opportunities. The Empire tried to sneak behind the Republic's forces and launch a surprise attack using their state-of-the-art Gatling Fox, but the Zoid's Z-O Visor malfunctioned, and it ended up attacking their own troops as well.

Hunting For The Genospino Fossil, Episode 11

When the Empire lost control of their transport Zoids and dropped the last remaining fossil of the Genospino, the forest was set ablaze. The Republic immediately issued an order to find and destroy this fossil, as any missing piece would prevent the Empire from resurrecting the Genospino. These Anti-Air Raptorias followed along Jo Aysel and her pilot custom, but the Anti-Airs didn't fair well against the Empire's Bazootles. They weren't able to destroy the fossil before the Empire regained control of it.

Defense of Mosaic City, Episode 12

The city fortress of Mosaic City was one of the few stops on the Genospino's march towards Neo Helic, and the city employed armed Raptorias among their guard. Though they fought against the Imperial army, they failed to protect the city. It only survived because the Genospino had other places to be.

Equipment Information

- Oval Bomb

One of the few natural weapons that see use in Republican Raptoria are their Oval Bombs. These were primarily used for excavation purposes at an archeological compound held by the Republic. They were later detonated in the underground parking garage to cause the ceiling (and thereby the ground above it) to collapse, which was carried out as a trap used on invading Imperial forces.

Though Raptoria is a good Zoid on its own, it lacks firepower. This variant fixes that with two guns that don't seem to impede the Zoid's natural moblity.
