Armor Description:
The Liger Zero is a tough old feline, surpassing the Blade Liger in staying power. Its King Liger ancestry shows in a more refined system, giving the Liger Zero structure that is well above standard in durability. The standard armor is a high-density poly-weave that provides protection on par with that of the Hound Soldier’s armor in a much lighter package.

Mobility and Power Source
The Liger Zero surpasses the Saber Tiger and Blade Liger in agility and matches the Shadow Fox for flexibility. A side-affect of the onboard AI is that it pretty much runs itself, leaving the pilot to just pilot.
This explains Bit Cloud.
The Zero’s power source, on the other hand, is rather limited. While it certainly has enough for a quick skirmish, the Liger doesn’t have the endurance for a long-running battle. It also suffers some overheating issues when pushed too far for too long.

Equipment:
Ion Turbo Booster Unit
A pair of boosters are mounted under armored plates in the Zero’s back. When activated the boosters increase the Liger Zero's speed to three hundred and ten kilometers per hour. Without them activated it runs at a pace of 285 kilometers per hour. Because they don't pivot the boosters don't help the Liger Zero at turning, but they do help with jumping.

Downforce Stabilizer x2
Mounted on the Zero’s flanks are a pair of extendable stabilizer wings. They aid in increasing traction by providing reverse lift. This is invaluable in helping to keep the Liger on the ground and reduce the mobility loss that most zoids experience at maximum speed. They actually act to help slow the Liger Zero down a bit, reducing its speed by three kilometers per hour. The stabilizers automatically deploy when the boosters activate.

Laser Fangs
The rows of razor-sharp extra-strength alloy teeth along the jaws of the Liger Zero can be charged up with laser energy for extra damage. Its front teeth aren't as long as those of the other Ligers and thus aren't as effective.

Strike Laser Claws x4
One on the end of each of the Liger Zero's legs, these claws have four toes made of a sharp, extra-strength alloy. They draw plasma from particle converters in the paws, producing an effect commonly referred to as charging with laser energy. The claws are coated with a heat-resistant and mildly magnetic laminate that protects them from their own plasma discharge. Unlike the modification and most other zoids that mount the SLC, the Liger Zero’s claws each have their own particle converter. This gives it a good deal of redundancy and a bit more power than normal.

AZ208mm double-barreled Shock Cannon
Mounted under the chest and locked in a forward facing position. Each barrel is approximately 208mm. These things hurt badly, and feature improved explosive power over their predecessors on the Shield Liger. Being fixed in place, it's almost impossible to hit something when you're running, unless you're firing at pointblank, which these are made for. They have a maximum effective range of 200 meters, after which the accuracy is simply shot, but the barrels are refined and reinforced to be nigh-impossible to disable.

Changeable Armor System
The Liger Zero's CAS is a lot like the Elephander and its Conversion Parts System. While the Liger Zero only has the standard, white armor at first it can also support the Jaeger, Schneider, Panzer and other armors. This allows the Liger Zero to react to a wide variety of different situations with different armor units. However, like the Elephander, the Liger Zero has to gain these other armor units through expensive modifications. Another drawback is the fact that the armor is not quite so thoroughly welded on as it is with other zoids, leaving it open for high-kinetic melee attacks to knock it off.
