Armor Description:
Spinosapper was developed by the Helic Republic to work on the Dark Continent for both combat and construction and it can do both surprisingly well. Often underestimated, one of the keys to the Spinosapper's power is the exceptionally thick armor covering it's entire body from head to toe. It can take quite a bit of punishment for a Zoid it's size.
Mobility and Power Source:
It's widely known that the Spinosapper's no sprinter. Nicknamed variants of "Ironsides" or "Pokey" by construction crews, the Spinosapper looks like a miniature Gojulas, and many rookie opponents assume it handles like one too. Wrong. While slow, the Spinosapper's pretty agile, and it's physically strong well beyond its size. While running, the Spinosapper assumes a horizontal pose akin to a Giga Gojulas that affords it respectable turn rate and radius. Best of all, due to its design as a construction worker, the Spinosapper may as well not tire out. It has fortitude and staying power well beyond even wolf-types, the benchmark of endurance in battle.
88mm Pulse Laser Gun x2
These are a pair of guns that are located inside the mouth of the Spinosapper. The only way to use them is to open the mouth and point the Spinosapper's face at it's target. While they cover a wide spread, the point damage is comparable more to 35mm cannon fire, only in laser form.
115mm Beam Machine Gun
Mounted on the top of the tail of the Spinosapper in a rear-facing position, it is designed to shoot down both air and ground Zoids behind the Spinosapper. Like the 88mms, it has a wide spread, but its point damage is comparable more to a 60mm cannon shelll. It fires at ten rounds per second.
180mm double-barreled Cannon
The highest caliber weapon on the Spinosapper, this dual-barreled cannon is located in the chest and locked in a forward facing position. Firing large mortars originally loaded with seismic explosives to aid in excavation, it has been refitted with standard mortar ammunition. Packing a thirty-meter blast radius and respectable damage, these are all-around great weapons. The downside? Maximum range of 300 meters, a six-second reload time and you only get two mortars per barrel.
Laser Chainsaw x2
The main weapons of the Spinosapper, these giant chainsaws can be rotated to face any direction around the Spinosapper and while they work like normal chainsaws, they can also be charged with laser energy. They are excellent at sawing, ripping, and shredding away Zoid armor and limbs. However, they aren't good at simple slicing or slashing like the Blade Liger's blades so it's best not to try using them in the same way. Their forte, however, is destroying shields. Constant pressure from these babies will pop a shield in short order.
