Texas-Sized Zoids

[chrisjbrandon]

What's the next Texas-Sized Zoid you ask?

Blade Liger Cannon (according to KB)



I like to call it Pinky Blady. It's Texas-sized not for size, but for price. I mean toy-wave was sellin' the thing for 500 bucks b4 I won it...

If you've ever built a blade Liger, a Shield Liger, or a Saber Fang B4, then the build would be quite straightforward for you.

The colors are nor quite the same as the standard Blady Mirage, as seen here. Caps are the same color, the legs and feet guard colors are transposed, body is the same color as the feet guards, the CP is blue instead of black. Is that the standard color of other Blade Ligers? Well it looks good with the other colors one way or another. Lastly, and most striking is the fact that the red is now pink.

Finally I've added the parts:


Since it's so rare here's the sticker sheet:


A few "naked" pics(no stickers)...
Standard:

Blades out:


With the CP-12:
Guns:

Boosters:

Boosters, and Blades:


Stickered and compared to my BI:
Standing Still:

Boosters:

Boosters and Blades:


This Zoid being that it's an Ace-piloted Zoid, would be autonomous on the battlefield if it were a part of my army. Withe the large boosters from the CP-12, and the skill of the pilot, not many other Zoids would be able to keep up with it. The blades, and the cannons from the CP-12 make it quite deadly. The firepower, along with the speed, the blades, and the skill of the pilot lead me to believe that it could take on an Ultimate Seismo, or a Death Saurer, by itself, and perhaps even win. I'd assign Cannon some targets, and expect her to return to her commander with all targets destroyed.

DOH! I forgot the parts. I'll upload them from home later...

Nice little kitty. Too bad its way too expensive to own the real deal. *sighs*

[Tilly]

There's a term for Blade Ligers that try to take on a Seismo alone.

Target practice :p.

Other than that, I dig the black/pink though I'm not sure about the head agaist the light body. Still wish this had been the regular Mirage...it's so bizarre it's cool.

How good is the Seismo's targeting computer? This one in particular has superior speed, and superior skill. Depends on the Seismo's pilot.

Just for you Chris, here's a chibi-fied recolor of the Pinky Bladey:



Forgot where I found the base chibi images but this is done just for you and your Pinky.

[chrisjbrandon]

Cool I'll make it may avatar, just cuz I own it, not cuase pink in my color...

[Snowflake]

If I had any manner of white blade liger, I'd try to modify it into 'MKII' colors.. but it sounds like they're rather expensive, so I'll just stick with my blue baby

Actually, I'd assume it wouldn't matter who was piloting the Blade Liger, Seismo is very good at taking out Ligers. Just ask those Liger Zero Phoenix's from the battle story, oh, wait, you can't, they got keeled.

[chrisjbrandon]

What about the Liger Zero Falcon from Fuzors? Didn't it and a Gairaki Shin beat it? Wasn't the one(Seismo) on the show oversied?

[Revenant05]

Well, you can't go by the show, the Liger has to win in the show. In the battle story, Ligers get owned by Seismo. Though, Liger Zero Falcon never faced off against Seismo in the battle story, IIRC, Liger Zero Falcon only faced off against Energy Liger. And yes, the one on Fuzors was oversized, horribly.

[chrisjbrandon]

So if it's faster, gageing speed by model speed, and the pilot is an ace. Plus the extra boosters, for extra speed, wouldn't it be a good idea to send it to destroy the legs. Immobilize it, and sen some salvos from a Panzor, or an Ultra? (Made me do some strategy there...)

Blade Liger Cannon (according to KB)

Blah, I said Canon.

It doesn't matter.. Bladey's weapons would have little effect on a Seismo, not to mention a Death Saurer. Its Blades would not be able to get through the armor, and the only weapon of its that might have some effect is the Attack Boosters, which might do some horrors to the paintjob.

What about the Liger Zero Falcon from Fuzors? Didn't it and a Gairaki Shin beat it?

and like 100 other Cannon Fodder.

Still really wouldn't be effect, I think Seismo has some pretty strong armor, not much getting through. I mean, Gairyuki was created just to fight it.... I think.

That's why you need Snipe Liger to decapitate it with the Gravity Launcher. The thicker the armor, the harder it crunches.
Still though, Pinky ain't bad.

[chrisjbrandon]

Ahhhh well, there goes that idea... That's some pretty strong armor. I was hoping that the blades would make a differance. Well that's what I get for not reading battle story...


OK; so Cannon fights the other Ace Zoid Pilots...
