Designation: OM-02 Shoulder Stuffing
Zoid(s) For: Gorgolauncher (replaces shoulder armour)
Weapons Added: Two 4-Shot Missile Pods
Equipment Added: Nil
Cost: $8,000
A second modification created for the Gorgolauncher, this modification installs missile pods into the hollow shoulder plates that extend from the arms of the Gorgolauncher. These pods are twin-tubed models that are each loaded with four missiles, two per tube. The pods face directly upwards when the arms are at rest, allowing targeting of aerial targets, but when the arms are lifted to use the guns, the pods point backwards for rear defense capabilities.
The pods are as tough as the rest of the Gorgolauncher and the missiles stocked are, apart from being general purpose, exactly like all standard missiles. They require a visual lock to track an enemy, and use infrared sensors for this same purpose. It takes a few seconds to reload the tubes once one missile has been fired, so timing is critical. The major drawback of this modification is that it prevents the Gorgolauncher from switching to Weapon Mode, as it fills in a space needed to fold the arms into for this transformation.
