Zoids Battle Story

ZAC 2099  The year is ZAC 2099... And the era of peace that has lasted for over 40 years has come to an end. The two major powers, the Guylos Empire and the Helic Republic, have finally clashed on the western continent of Europa. However, the battle is one-sided. The Republican Army, which prepared too late for the war, clearly lacks in strength compared to the Imperial Army, which has been preparing for this war for several years.

 In this unfavorable situation the Republic prepared a counterattack operation. Their plan is to use the RZ-013 Cannon Tortoise to fire on the enemy bases over a long range during the night.

Fuselage Explanation

 It has a heavily armored body with a large-caliber turret. Although it's a simple design, it's also a masterpiece that has continued to bring great combat results to the Republic. Its only drawback is its low mobility, but it's basically a rear-support unit, and since it's also equipped with anti-aircraft guns, its survival rate on the battlefield is very high.
