Armour Description
The Kraken is the big daddy of all transport Zoids, only recently created by the Zoid Battle Commission. It has a massively thick shell that can shrug off multiple charged particle cannons, expecially since its been treated to be heat resistant. The curved surface of the shell means projectile weaponry generally bounces right off it. There’s no armour on the cockpit, legs/flippers, tail or underbelly, but even that structure is dense and as tough as the armour and structure of a Giga Gojulas combined.

Mobility and Power Source:
The Kraken has the least amount of agility of any Zoid ever created, and not a very powerful core either. It is able to use anti-gravity units to hover and fly for a small period of time, up to three hours, but it generally gets around by waddling. Overuse of the Plasma Cannon can actually stall this Zoid.

Equipment:

Caterpillar Drivetrain x2
Adopted from the Giga Vitus, these engines are mounted within the Kraken’s underside, barely sticking out from the back. The Archimedes Screw design allows them to haul the Kraken through the water at the agonizingly slow but very stealthy speed of eight knots.

Armoured Clamshell Hangar
Rather a misnomer, this hangar gets its name from the way the entire shell of the Kraken flips backwards to allow Zoids to board and disembark. The hangar is massive, able to fit thirty Zoids within it, and has all the flash new systems that maximize the Kraken’s role as a carrier. The shell itself has racks that allow a further fifteen aerial Zoids to be carried and launched, while ramps descend from the shoulders and hips to allow Zoids to embark and disembark from either the front or rear.

Oral Flamethrower
Installed within the head of the Kraken is a massive plasma generator linked to the mouth. When this weapon is triggered, the Kraken blows gouts of flame up to 150 meters from its body, melting and slagging any Zoid within the flame. The plasma it spews is superheated, much like that used in the republican CP-01. The plasma generator is quite the hefty energy consumer, so be wary.

Largebore Impact Cannon x2
Installed within the chest of the Kraken are two huge cannons that fire kinetic shells at high velocities to tear up any Zoid. These cannons measure in at roughly AZ790mm each, and can both fire once every second. Their effective range is 500m, but after that they become highly inaccurate. Due to the slow movement of the Kraken, these don’t lose much accuracy while on the move.

Five-Barrelled Plasma Cannon x2
Mounted onto either side of the Kraken’s head and drawing from the plasma generator is a cannon constructed of landenium that fires lances of broiling plasma that can set Zoids alight and melt through most armour with ease. The cannons can fire each barrel once every ten seconds, to allow time to cool, but the furious lances of plasma can travel around three kilometres before dissipating.
