Armor Description:
Because it had to defend itself against both air and ground enemies, the Pteras has very solid armor plating. The Pteras' armor is stronger than the armor of the Redler and Raynos, placing it just a smidge above the Storm Sworder for overall durability, mostly because it's got a thicker plate of older armor rather than the expensive new alloys the Sworder uses. It's not as tough as the Salamander, but this little bomber is probably the toughest aerial you're going to get otherwise.

Mobility and Power Source:
Designed for defense and bombing the Pteras wasn't exactly made for great aerial maneuverability. However, it isn't horrible either. It's actually good at low-speed turning and it can even hover. It should also be noted that it is better at take-off and landing than most air Zoids because of it's vertical design. In particular, the Zoid's maneuverability drops dramatically after it breaks the sound barrier. Flying at its maximum speed isn't recommended, and past Mach 1 you're basically flying in a straight line. On the ground, the Pteras isn't too agile, and can make 90kph in a hopping run.

Magnessor Wings
At first glance one would think the Pteras' wings weak. It's actually the opposite. The Pteras' magnessor wings limit the amount of mass needed for the wings to fly and use complex magnetics to fill in the gaps with pure force. This allows the Pteras to not only fly at the speed it does, but hover as well. Also, the Pteras' wigns are a lot harder to destroy because they there's less of hit to actually hit and they can still work even with a few cracks.

16mm Vulcan Gun
This small gun is mounted on the right side of the Pteras' head and can be used against both air and ground targets. It fires small armor-piercing bullets at a high rate of 30 rounds per second. Unlike most rapid-fire weaponry, this one is pretty accurate, and doesn't feature the "spray" effect its kin do.

Air-to-surface 2-shot Missile Pod x2
Mounted on the sides of the chest and normally downward-facing, these pods pack a total of 4 missiles designed to hit ground targets. They are standard in ways of firing, visual locking, and heat targeting. Due to their speed and poor arcing they are best used to bomb ground targets rather than engage air targets. Against ground targets, they're quite accurate, and pack a five-meter blast radius.

ATA 2-Shot Automatic Pursuit Missile Launcher
Mounted on the back of the Pteras, rear-facing, this launcher packs 2 missiles designed to hit enemy air Zoids like the Redler that try to pursue the Pteras. Each missile has has slightly better heat tracking and guidance than normal missiles but their power is still that of a normal missile. They pack a three-meter blast radius to focus the damage better, at the expense of damage coverage.
