The third unit designed to fit onto the Triple Impact Cannon of the Saber Tiger and the Shield Liger, this modification equips a flattish sort of missile rack underneath the TIC, with two under slung missiles. These are very special missiles, known as Firestorm Missiles. In appearance they look almost the same as a normal missile, but they have a bulbous tip, and it is what is in this tip that gives them the name Firestorm Missiles.

When these missiles reach a proximity of ten meters from their target, they explode outwards, spraying highly-pressurized flammable liquid all over the target, soaking a good twenty meter radius, and less than a hundredth of a second after that the liquid ignites due to contact with oxygen, and burns incredibly fiercely. Some people have exaggerated how powerful the flames are, likening them to plasma, but the heat generated is more like that of several tons of highly unstable napalm, per every square meter. The general effect is that, while not as good as plasma, the liquid will continue burning for roughly five seconds, doing a very large amount of heat-based damage to the enemy.

The missiles track using a standard IR sensor, and because they are under the belly of the equipped Zoids, may only target ground-based Zoids. Also, there are only two of them, and you are not allowed to reload these missiles once used.
