This was going to be my custom contest entry. But the two picture limit was to big of a holdback. And Frankly the fact that it got finished in time is a shock.
I didn't care for the gorilla tron when I first saw it, but my love of monkeys prevailed and I bought a stack.
This is the first in a four unit commando team.

Silverback C-40
Artilery Unit
Gorilla type
Weight: 60 tons
Height. 8.3 meters body unit only / 12.8 meters gun in firing position /15.6 meters gun in carry position.
speed 173 kilo/hr
The first completed and battle tested unit of a new commando unit "The Silverbacks". The name springs from the distinctive light colored paint job of the zoid and the highly selective process of pilot selection. Only the most experienced and intuitive biped pilots were accepted as Silverbacks.
The C-40 is a heavy artillery unit able to provide long distance support and sudden suprise attack. It is less effective in close quarters but the specialized nature of its weaponry allows some combat versatility.
The Silverback C-40au is equiped with specialized weaponry designed expressly to take as little from the main Zoid power plant as possible. Thus, like the Gun Striker (see contest) the gun has an integral power plant and cooling system. this not only leave valuable power availble for speed and movement, but the cooling system allows the c-40au to maintain seemingly impossible high rates of fire.
The elite status of the veteran Silverback pilots allow them incredible leeway in manner of dress. The pilots of these particular units have abandonded the traditional mindrider jumpsuit and helmet and has opted for a more versatile and more traditional combat suit and soft cap. They also wear a distictive red scarf, largely as a tribute to the pre modification coloration of the stock Gorilla Trons.
The next Silverback will be unveiled soon. Until then, let me know what you think of this guy. And, If I posted duplicate pics I apologize. I decided to try out the photobucket system instead of my own webspace (tech problems), so I suspect I may have fouled something up.
