Name: Trojan Knight
Type: Stallion
Serial Number: EZ-075
Purpose: Recon/Attack
Crew: 2 - Pilot and Gunner
Height: 12m
Length: 22m
Weight: 115 tonnes
Max Speed - Loaded: 225 km/h
Max Speed - Unloaded: 260 km/h
Weapons: Charged Particle Gun, Particle Rifle, Laser Vulcan Gun
Special Abilities: Survey Drone, Kamikaze Drone, Cargo Hold in belly for Jeep or Forward Command Post
Battle Story: With the Dekalt Dragons and Whitz Tigers engaged in brutal battles, Zi-ARMS executives commissioned their design divisions to create a fast and versatile Zoid that could slip into and out of combat zones to search for the three legendary Tiger Cores. The team quickly settled one a stallion type Zoid for it’s inherent speed and agility. About the size of a large Liger, it would be no pushover, but could move at remarkable speed.
The new Zoid, entitled Trojan Knight would offer incredible mission versatility to aid in the search for the Tiger Cores. The Trojan Knight can afford these abilities through the use of it’s on-board unmanned Survey and Kamikaze Drones, as well as it’s multi-purpose cargo hold built into it’s belly. With its Particle Rifle and Laser Vulcan Gun, the Trojan Knight has a good mix of long and short-range weapons. And also the ability to fire a Charged Particle Gun in extreme emergencies, however use of this weapon could potentially over load crucial systems within the Zoid, so use of the CPG is only when all other means of escape have been exhausted. With powerful legs and a good range of flexibility to them, the Trojan Knight can defend itself in melee combat as well.
In the latest series of tests, the Trojan Knight proved itself very dangerous. With the ability to store an entire Jeep including up to 5 troops inside its belly, and release it on the run, the Trojan Knight it able to engage enemies while at the same time diverting their attention from the search squad it just launched. Trojan Knight also has the ability to carry and deploy a small Forward Command Post from its belly instead of a Jeep. The Drones that can be launched from the side of the Zoid come in two varieties. The Survey Drone is a long-range set of eyes for the Gunner stationed in the Trojan Knight’s back. The Kamikaze Drone is a medium range smart bomb that is able to home in on to any target being tracked by the Survey Drones. One direct hit from a Kamikaze Drone is usually enough to cripple any medium sized Zoid.
Now that the prototype has been completed and is seeing action on the battlefield, and more are being constructed at this very moment, the search for the Tiger Cores is looking up for the mighty Zi-ARMS Corporation.

A side view of the Trojan Knight. Both side hatches are open, allowing a view through the Zoid. The cable system that allows the cargo to be lowered to the ground can be seen hanging. The Charged Particle Gun barrel can be seen recessed into its forehead, as well as the Laser Vulcan Gun in it's chest, and the Particle Rifle that can be extended and fired from the tail.

A front view of the Trojan Knight. The external hatches are closed here, concealing the Drone and cargo hold.

A rear view of the Trojan Knight showing the extreme articulation afforded to the Particle Rifle.
=======================================
The Trojan Knight is capable of carrying several of each Drone shown here. The drone on the left is the Survey Drone. The drone on the right is the Kamikaze Drone.

Here the Jeep that the Trojan Knight is capable of storing and deploying is shown to scale with the Zoid.
