- RZ-029 Storm Sworder



 Storm Sworder is boasted as having moved most of its tech into the replaceable backpack. From the way the kit was described earlier on, it sounds as if they intended to take this swappable gimmick much further than they did. Unfortunately, Storm Sworder saw very few iterations in the model kit series. It's still a nice looking kit as is, though.

- Zoids Battle Story

ZAC 2100...  At the beginning of the year, northern Europa was once again finding a temporary peace due to the lacking supply lines of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Command hastened to reorganize its supply forces, preparing for an all-out attack, and dispatched their new Zoids, the Geno Saurer and Rev Raptor, which incorprated elements of the Organoid System, to the southwestern part of the continent.

 Of course, the Republican Army wasn't holding back, either. They pulled a battalion of Zoids from their strained ranks and sent them to defeat the Geno Saurer. However, the battalion was instantly destroyed by the terrifying performance of these new Zoids. The Republican Forces were at a loss.

 There was a great sense of despair among the Republican HQ. At the time, data from the Organoid System had been brought back by the development bureau, and new Zoids equipped with the system were completed.

 Blade Liger. Storm Sworder. The introduction of these two new units was about to change the power balance of both armies.

- Fuselage Explanation

 While the nation was in the process of being rebuilt and development costs were being reduced, the Storm Sworder was completed by Republican Engineers who incorporated technology from the Empire. The systems couldn't fit in the medium-sized Zoid, so those systems were attached to the outside, which made it possible to create various versions of it. That's why the Storm Sworder has an engine pod on its back. By using the new magnesser system, the main engine, and the turbo boost from the engine pods, it can reach a speed of Mach 3.2. Then, it can cut through enemies as they pass each other by using the Top Sword and Wing Swords.
