Shield Liger Guardian Force Custom (A.K.A. Guardian Leo)

The Gurdian force was considered by Guylos and Helic
soldiers alike a sign of peace and unity.  Only the most
skilled of all pilots were permitted to join the force
but those who did had access to the absolute finest in
zoid technology.

One fortunate young liger pilot managed to join the
force shortly after the second Deathsaurer incident.
Idolizing Van Flihight he was known never to touch
a zoid other than his trusty shield liger.

With no such fortune as to have the assistance of an
organoid companion, he had to upgrade his liger the old
fassioned way.  Though not fond of the leomaster upgrade
pack the republic offered his attention was cought by
technology offered by Guylos scientists.

The newly developed Assault Gattling unit was fitted
to the shield liger while the existing armor was
thicked and the unarmored areas fitted with form fitting
plates of armor equal to the blade liger.  In addition
this pilot being, some say cowardly others saying 
just plain smart, had the original cockpit replaced with
a new armor encased cockpit switching to a TV display
similar to that of the genosaurer.

Although without the aid of boosters having increased
weight normaly meens a significant decrease in speed.
At this point our young liger pilot had to practicly
beg Guylos engineers to finish his liger.  Perhaps seeing
the next Van Flyhight or perhaps out of pitty for the boy
they did.  An enhanced power plant was installed on
the shield liger and almost the entire electrical
wiring system was reworked with higher capacity cable
allowing the shield liger to run at its original pace
despite the incresed weight.

As an unexpected side effect the laser weapons of the shield
liger gained a 50% increase in intensity making them in effect
AZ weapons.  Not to mention the shield also benefited
from this making its defensive abilities equal to that
of the blade liger.

Naming his new zoid the Guardian leo, the young pilot though
never passing into legend like Van Flihight is certaily
well known among zoid engineering circles.  One of the engineers
was heard to comment "Dr. D got nothing on this."
