The SIFHTUTWWAKY Cannon, or as most people call it, the Wacky Cannon. It’s an acronym, if you didn’t guess. It stands for So Incredibly Fucking Huge That Using It Will Actually Kill You. It’s no joke, in the testing phase, a lot of people died. But what is this mod? It is a single use Republic Super Cannon, designed for… the Zabat. Yep, this is what happens when Team Dawnstar and Team Vagrant go out drinking together. In the end they decided to go for it, and while they were at it, the pilots modified it to fit the Pteras too.

Using a specially designed cradle that fits onto the belly of the Zabat, the Super Cannon can be mounted. The cannon is pre-loaded with a single depleted uranium-tipped shell, which is fired at supersonic speeds with a railgun mechanism. This is in most ways a completely normal Super Cannon. However, some modifications had to be made to allow the Zabat to use this weapon. A specialized carriage was designed, one that would absorb nearly all the recoil of the Wacky Cannon. The design of the carriage was successful, to a degree. Sure, it could absorb the recoil, but the carriage was ruined after the usage. Even worse, due to some weight-cutting modifications to the cannon, the rails fused and bent after firing, due to the immense friction.

In the end, the designers remodelled the carriage, designing it so that immediately after the cannon was fired, the carriage would release from the body, dropping both it and the Super Cannon to the ground below. In doing this, the Zabat becomes capable of using its Smart Missile once more. The cannon faces almost directly forward while the Zoid is flying, pointing ten degrees down. Sadly, the cannon reduces the top speed of both Zabat and Pteras down to a mere 200 kilometers while in flight, and reduced the mobility of the Zoids to that of a washtub. The Zoids could turn and move, but rolls or acrobatics of any kind are definitely beyond them. Once fired and ejected, the Zoids regain their full capabilities. The only other major downside to this is that once it’s been used, the Wacky Cannon can’t be used again, ever. If you want the awesome power of the Wacky Cannon again, you’ll have to buy another.
