Created to be a heavy weapons upgrade for the Shield Liger, the Amalgam Unit consists of excellent weapons, including two fairly powerful rail guns. These rail guns mount on the same pylons that the Twin Beam Cannons fix onto, and thus can’t be used with CP-01, unless you have the Glamour Unit. In which case, it’s okay. The Rocket pods shift backwards to mount on the hips, but would be replaced by CP-01 if you do have the Glamour Unit. These cannons have the same range of movement on the pylons as the Twin Beam Cannons, and can dock on the back or sides, for variable firing capabilities. Each cannon uses an over-under combination similar to the Hybrid Cannons of the old Panzer CAU, with the Rail Guns sitting above the beam cannons.

The Rail Guns are excellent for buckling armour and penetrating straight through it, and each rail gun can fire once every turn, so two shots a turn. With their incredible speed, the rounds fired by the rail guns can inflict huge amounts of damage. Underneath the rail guns are the 30mm Beam Cannons. These cannons can fire two shots a second, and are highly effective at taking down shields, though only half as good as the Twin Beam Cannons. These four guns together use quite a lot of energy, so you have to be careful when using them.

With some modification, these cannons can be mounted on other Zoids, but lack the pylons, and so are fixed onto the back, replacing whatever might have been there, and locked facing forward, but with a thirty degree inclination capability.
