A modification to the design specifications of CP-04 Attack Unit, Tiger’s Spirit was a mod designed and used by the Tigers Team, usually to good effect. With a few tweaks, the Tiger’s Spirit has been recreated by the friendly people at AIZDAT for anyone who owns a Saber Tiger.

The Spirit is essentially an Attack Unit with the side stabilizers and antennae removed, and internals redesigned to fire standard lasers instead of maser beams. It fits onto the Saber Tiger’s back in the same way as the Attack Unit, removing the same equipment, but a small generator is installed just behind the main body of the Spirit, to help with energy consumption. The Tiger’s Spirit itself is able to fire a powerful 250mm laser beam from each barrel once every four seconds with the perfect accuracy that being laser-based affords it.

The Tiger’s Spirit is a powerful weapon, able to level the playing field against many Zoids in classes higher than the Saber Tiger, but it does have its flaws. Attempting to fire either barrel’s laser more than once every three seconds will cause the power generator to explode and the Tiger’s Spirit to shut down for the rest of battle, a real disaster. Secondly, even with the power generator, the Tiger’s Spirit draws plenty of juice from the Saber Tiger, meaning that if you go around doing too much while firing the Tiger’s Spirit, you’ll stall fairly easily. Finally, due to having the stabilizers removed, and being so big anyway, the Tiger’s Spirit makes the Saber Tiger a bit unwieldy and a bit harder to handle than it would normally be.
