Name: KW-01 "Lone Wolf" Assault Pack
Zoid(s) For: Konig Wolf, any other hound-type zoid (only the railcannon and two of the rocket packs may be used, Command Wolf uses one electron booster capacitor)
Equipment Added: Medium Rocket Packs x4, E-Shield Generator x2, 26mm Monolinear Railcannon with Long-Range Scope, Electron Booster Capacitors x5
Equipment Removed: Particle Goggles, any shoulder, back, leg, or hip-mounted modifications and weapons are also removed

Medium Rocket Packs
The Medium Rocket Packs are mounted off the shoulders in an over-under style. Like the DP-01 Heavy Rocket Launcher, the Medium Rocket Packs come four to a launcher, except the rockets are held in connected launch tubes instead of feeding one at a time, the entire pack can launch within a quarter of a second. The packs can also launch simultaneously, putting out 16 munitions in a half-second. Having a smaller warhead and overall size the medium rockets travel along at a slightly faster clip than the heavy rockets do, breaking the sonic barrier.

E-Shield Generators
The E-Shield Generators are mounted on the hips and are rearward facing, to protect against any flank attacks. Because of their power comsumption the Konig risks stalling if it uses its electron claws and especially the elctron fangs while the shields are active. The Wolf's endurance is also limited while the shields are active, it can only run at top speed for a few minutes.


26mm Monolinear Railcannon
A railcannon works by placing an electrically conducive solid projectile between two long rails hooked up to a large source of electrical power, creating a closed circuit. The charge running through the round causes it to move down the rails and accelerate, because the charge is so high the rate of acceleration is also great, but not instantaneous, which is why the rails are so long. The Railcannon is mounted on the Wolf's back and fires relatively slowly, about once every thirty seconds, the accelerator rails pumping the round to large fractions of c at long ranges. Because of such high velocity and the round's long tip it is capable of piercing armor far more effectively than standard "gauss" weapons, but at the cost power. The range capable of the Railcannon requires a long-ranged sensor and the space taken up by the Railcannon's turret-mounting required the removal of the Konig's Particle Goggles, a 32x Scope with a Night-vision mode is mounted to the body of the gun and shielded from the electrostatic discharge caused by the firing of the Railcannon. The magazine is small, only holding eighteen (18) rounds. A generator is mounted on the turret base and armored, as such, the zoid mounting the railcannon is not affected by the weapon's power requirements. For all this range and stopping power the railcannon, generator, and magazine cost the Konig Wolf much in its speed and maneuverability though it is the only zoid of its type capable of effectively mounting the weapon, mounting it on any other hound-type zoid would render it about as mobile as a Cannon Tortoise with a bad limp. For this reason the turret is capable of an emergency eject, the gun itself is explosively jettisoned by four small rocket motors, leaving the base and the attached generator behind. Note that the generator, after the emergency eject can rerout its power into the Konig's systems (only the Konig Wolf) to power the shields, on any zoid but the Konig the generator is dead-weight.

Electron Booster Capacitors
Large capacitors are mounted in the zoid's lower legs and head, they store up excess energy to power the zoid's claw and head weapons. Since it was designed for the Konig Wolf, they power its Electron Claws and Fangs. Good for about three seconds before needing to recharge, the capacitors save the Konig from stalling out. The Command Wolf, being the Konig Wolf's little brother, mounts one of the Capacitors in the back of its neck to power its Electron Bite Fangs.
