Designation: CP-11
Zoid(s) For: Iron Kong
Equipment Added: Vernier Thrusters x4, Primary Boosters x2
Cost: 10,400

Noting the Iron Kong’s potential for melee combat, but the ape’s almost painful lack of agility, the Empire commissioned the Maneuver Thruster Pack to assist. After all, it was really embarrassing for a command zoid to go down when a pack of Command Wolves set into it.
This unit fits snugly over the Kong’s backpack, on the lower back. It has a pair of pylons just behind the Kong’s armpits, capable of inclining from perpendicular to the Kong’s back to twenty degrees from the Kong’s back. It has a pair of large boosters mounted on the bottom, and an additional cockpit over the armored casing. The vernier thrusters mount on the ends of the pylons, two to a pylon. They can angle thirty degrees to either side, and can burn almost continuously. They are weak, though, and really are designed to supplement the Kong’s turning ability. The boosters, on the other hand, provide massive amounts of power in short bursts. They enable the Kong to jump short distances, and provide a boost of speed of roughly sixty kilometers an hour, each. They can burn for up to a half a second before requiring a cooldown time of a second.
