Armor Description:
The Saber Tiger has some pretty durable armor covering its body, with excellent coverage and a generous layer thereof. The only serious gaps in the armor are around the neck, and even then the gaps are so small that it would be extremely difficult to take advantage of it with anything less than a sniper cannon. Better yet, the structure is very durable, on par with that of the Shield Liger.

Mobility and Power Source:
With a great balance of agility, speed, and armor, it's almost impossible to destroy a well-piloted Saber Tiger. This nasty number has excellent maneuverability, and agility common to feline-types. It's one of the most agile Zoids around, more so than its Republic counterpart, the Shield Liger. Of course, it's lacking the brute strength the Liger displays, so it'll need to use its superior agility to attack the weak spots on the larger Liger. It's hard to tire, but it's no wolf, so it can't run full speed forever.

Laser Saber x2
Two long, sharp fangs located in the mouth of the Saber Tiger. They can be charged up with laser energy to aid in piercing into your enemy. Best used to hold onto your foe while the claws work them over something awful.

Strike Claw x4
One on the end of each of the Saber Tiger's legs, these claws are made of extra-strength alloy. The Saber Tiger, as well, is physically strong and can make great use of these claws for tearing into its opponent. All around good melee weaponry.

AEZ 20mm Beam Gun x2
One is located in each shoulder in a forward locked position. They fire small-caliber bolts of charged particles sheathed in a red jacket of laser containment energy. While they're not as accurate as lasers, they hit a bit harder than the other types of ammunition around. They fire at a semi-auto rate of 2 shots/sec.

Small-Bore AZ20mm Laser Machinegun
It is located on the underbelly at the bottom of the Shock Cannon in a forward locked position. Very accurate when the Tiger's standing still, its fixed mount means that the Tiger's running motion severely drops its accuracy when on the move. Still, it's a nice little number to add some continuous fire to the situation, at 15 small, anti-Zoid laser bolts per second.

AZ208mm 3-Barreled Shock Cannon
Mounted under the chest and locked in a forward facing position. Each barrel is approximately 208mm. This sucker hurts badly, considering the large caliber and the anti-Zoid designation. It is, however quite inaccurate unless you're standing perfectly still, and even then features a slow firing rate of one shell per barrel, per second.

AZ30mm Double-barreled Beam Cannon
Mounted on the back of the Saber Tiger with a little bit of horizontal pivoting aside from it's normal forward facing position. It's standard, all-around weaponry that serves the Tiger well as a primary cannon, especially since each beam hits like an AZ50mm cannon shell, and they fire fairly quickly, at three shots per second per barrel.

3-Shot Surface-to-surface Missile Pod
Mounted on top of the AZ30mm Beam Cannon is a missile pod with 3 standard missiles. They are capable of limited heat targeting if the pilot takes the time for a visual lock. Due to their speed they are best used against ground targets.

Composite Sensor Unit
Located on the left side of the AZ30mm Beam Cannon on the back is an advanced sensory unit. It uses 3D mapping, and a laser searcher to locate stealth Zoids. While it's not the most comprehensive equipment on the market, it's certainly better than nothing.

TEZ 20mm Linear Laser Gun x2
Mounted on the either side of the stubby tail of the Saber Tiger in a rear-facing position they can aim pretty much wherever the tail can point. They fire semi-automatic laser blasts, each hitting like a 20mm armor-piercing bullet. Not all that powerful, but they get the job done.
