Dark Zaber SS (Slammer Special)

For a breif period between the appearance of the first
Blade Liger and the end of the war, Guylos engineers
attempted to create an efficient counter for the blade liger.

The Genosaurer being far too difficult to mass produce they 
turned to the trusty Zaber fang platform that had long been the 
Imperial answer to the Shield Liger.  Although it was
never employed against the blade liger the Dark Zaber SS,
was constructed as a powerful melee zoid.  Sacrificingits back and tail
mounted weaponry the Dark Zaber gained the highly specialized
Slammer Unit.  

The slammer unit is equiped with twin hardened alloy laser
bores capable of charging up similar to the blade liger however
unlike the liger the laser bores are intended for stabbing, not slicing.
The Slammer unit on the back adds two boosters.  The lower of which is
a standard thruster which allows the zaber to match the running speed of an unmodified
blade liger.  The upper booster is a high output plasma booster capable
of adding an additional 30kmph to the zaber's running speed over short distances.

However the top booster is more than it initaly seems.  It's mounted on a swiveling base
giving it a full 360 degree rotation and 45 degrees of incline making it ideal for
aiding manuverability.  The high heat emited by this booster plus its swiveling abilities gave
Guylos engineers an idea.  As a lost minute add on the prototype Strike Iron Claw
was fitted around this booster allowing it to grapple and hold an unfortuante enemy in
front of the plasma booster discharge.  Generating over 3,000 degrees Celcius
almost any metal will be melted down.  Though not nearly as hot as the charged particle gun
it's ideal for quickly ridding enemies of their armor.  Obviously the claw its self is coated
in a special heat resistant material allowing it to withstand the booster's own discharge for short 
periods.

The Dark Zaber SS was never employed in warfare but was employedby the Guardian Force years later.
