Description
One of the first zoids I had ever drawn that I went into HUGE technical thought about.Here are a few of its technical specifications, look at the drawing for more info (you may need to make it bigger)!
The RZ-950 Wrecker:
-Crew:
-Frontal Cockpit: 4
-Min: 1
-Total Crew:
-6 Max
-2 Min
-Empty Weight: 459.34 tons
-Maximum Weight: 957.44 tons
-Fuel Weight: 19 tons
-Engine: 2X JM-D970 Diesel Turboshaft Engines
-Power: 97,000HP Each
-Fuel Efficiency: 5,700 Pound/Hr. Each
-APU: 1X JM 190 Diesel Engine
-CO2 Fail Safe System
The JM RZ-950 was designed primarily as a military construction and engineering zoid, used to build bridges, tow tanks out of ditches, and do misalliances work on, and around the battlefield. But the zoid had potential for combat. So the development began on additional add-ons to outfit this unit for military use. It proved to be an extremely effective zoid, especially with its engine and overall performance upgrades! Oh, and did I mention it runs on turboshaft engines? O.O

Lol as for dust, it has the necessary filters for such conditions, the M1 Abrems tank uses a similar power source, as for quick startups, it is true there is a spool up time, but it's like 15 seconds, so not a huge deal, chances are the engines would be running 90% of the time anyway.

Even then, it's considered somewhat of an Achilles' heel. At least in this case, you've got accumulators for the hydraulic pressure and superconductor storage (why not?) to get the pumps turning before the turbines are ready.

Oh, well there is a APU (Auxiliary Power Unit), its just a standard diesel engine to get pressures up, run electrical, start the turbines, etc.

well if its the only means of defense while building things then i'd want one around XD
awesome idea i never would have thought of it
i wonder why we dont have this kind of zoid all ready?

Thanks, and I don't know... O.o

I'm surprised that there's no MLRS or SAM battery option for it, since it can carry high-powered search radar and detection gear in addition to multiple racks of missiles. (Now that I think about it, something this big probably has something akin to a CIWS, too.)

It's got the 3 barrel 150mm machine guns that can fire AA Flak and such, as well as target ground units (you can put up to 6 on it) and that "rediculas gun" can fire airburst rounds that can cause problems for larger aircraft.

Hmm, maybe a Kashtan might be easier as far as point defense goes, something smaller probably can traverse and elevate faster, and missiles and light units are generally thin-skinned.
Terminally guided shells might work better, although I'm not sure how lucky folks have been with working more than proximity detonation into the things. (Look up the Skysweeper system...there were good reasons to move on to missiles for medium to long range AAA.)

Those look cool, but the heavy AAA this thing could back with the 6 tri-barrel 150mm would be pretty devastating, and those don't have much problem with elevating and traversing quickly, they are also geo-stabalized so the zoid could be on the move while they fired. Whats wrong with skysweeper? i looked it up and it looks like a good system for the 1950s.

It wasn't bad, but you needed missiles to deal with supersonic targets.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooohhhhh... well high velocity projectiles would do it i think.

And terminal guidance of some sort. Otherwise, as soon as the bandit's RWR flicks on, they're going to open the airbrake and play hob with your attempts to lead them.

LOL! Yeah, then they would be DOOMED! Lol

*tries to think about how to punch through the defenses* Probably a pop-up attack with anti-radar missiles, or even something a bit heavier. This one would be a tough nut to crack, although more susceptible to bomb damage than a flak tower.

Or, for that matter, what the term "Wild Weasel" actually with. (Suppression of air defenses.)

Lol nice, and I don't get on skype much, I don't like it much, I love iChat though, so if you have a google talk account or whatever, but if you want I can get on skype, but no always, I don't get on the computer much, mostly just my iPad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've got it implemented.

I have to check out this 'zoids' if this kinda thing is what it's about 
Awesome work as always :]

Really thanks, and yes check out zoids! They are AWSOME!

I think i will, seeing as i LOVE transformers, this seems right up my street.

Well It's true, a builder and a Killer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, we were running low on attacking zoids, so we began converting construction zoids.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed! It could even use it's crane as a weapon!

the death of single roll zoids
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well not entirely, you will still need specialized units, just not as much when you can have a unit that can Adapt to the situation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not quite like that. Lol, I mean like you can add or remove armor, swap out guns, different types of ammunition. Etc.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean like a zoid with nano amour, CAS changing on the battle field
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats a good idea, you should design one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had one but i've lost the deigns
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well make a better one! Upload it! Lol
