- EZ-076 Brastle Tiger
Brastle Tiger is one of the most engineered kits in the entire Zoids franchise. Almost every part of its armor contains movable parts of some variety, and it has countless guns hidden behind a coherent, streamlined design. It really is impressive, and if you can manage to pick up either of the Brastle Tiger variants (this or the Genesis one) I highly recommend it!

- Zoids Battle Story
Learning that their kidnapped president was being held captive aboard Zi-ARMS' flying fortress Whale King, ZOITEC's board of directors sent the second ancient tiger, Rayse Tiger, to rescue the president. But Zi-ARMS, who had obtained the secret to controlling the ancient tiger cores, had already completed the third ancient tiger, Brastle Tiger, from the "Crimson Core" they possessed. The ferocious azure and crimson tigers clashed. The Brastle Tiger pelted the Rayse with countless bullets, and the Rayse Tiger slammed its claws and fangs into the Brastle. It was a never-ending war of attrition between monster Zoids. Eventually, the pair's Zoid Cores began to give off ominous flashes and melt their control systems!!
- Fuselage Explanation
The Brastle Tiger is a unit based on the last ancient tiger core possessed by Zi-ARMS, and completed using the Core Control System stolen from Zoitec. It excels at artillery battles, especially with its special move, the Thermic Burst, which absorbs the heat energy in the atmosphere through its jet-black armor amplifies it with the Zoid Core to heat it up further, then fires it from the Laser Machine Guns, which have the power to melt the armor of giant Zoids instantly. However, if the thermal energy isn't constantly released, the internal systems will melt as well. Therefore, when the attacks can no longer be sustained over a long period of time, it must deploy the heat sinks to dissipate the excess heat. A weak point is the time it takes to draw in heat again afterwards.
- Instruction Manual
Brastle Tiger is the only one of the three tigers to receive an actual long story in its Fan Book EX. It covers the final confrontation against the Mega Death Saurer, in which the three tigers are finally able to spring into action.
