Liger Zero (Souluser1)

The Liger Zero is a Liger-Type Zoid and is one of the main Zoids featured in Zoids: Zi-Force, piloted by one of the main protagonists, Ray Stratos.

Overview
The Liger Zero is seen a highly agile and very fast Zoid. This is due to its downforce stabilizers, which allow its momentum to be carried forward instead of upward, and its Ion boosters. It specializes in close-range battles, using its signature Strike Laser Claws easily to tear through enemy armor. Stock Liger Zeros are also often armed with a chest mounted 208mm shock cannon and a 108mm beam gun attached to the tail. The Liger Zero's main weakness is its lack of long range weaponry, although the use of CAS units can be used to negate this weakness.

Fanon Appearances
In Zoids: Zi-Force the Liger Zero is piloted by one of the main protagonists, Ray Stratus. During the course of the series, the Liger is upgraded to increase the Liger's overall speed to 315km/h and mounts a long-range beam rifle to compensate for its lack of ranged weaponry. It is also seen utilizing some of its CAS units and is the first Liger Zero to utilize the Panzer Mk II CAS unit. Midway through the series, Ray's Liger Zero evolves into the Liger Zero Ray Force.
