The First in the line of Weapon Evolved zoids made by the organoid Gary, The Tank Liger is the favoririte of its owner, Mike 
strahl. Mike had a dream of owning 4 of the most gunheavy zoids ever made, so once he was awarded the organoid Gary, he began
 to draw up plans on creating such a gunbunny. First there were the plans for a WE dibison, those were thrown out because the 
damned thing was too slow. Gordos? too slow. Then mike came upon the Snipe Liger... BIG GUNS and...speed! BINGO BABEH! Mike
immiediatly ran to the shop, bought a Sheild liger and began stocking up on mods for it. 

The Tank Liger would have some really suhweet guns. TBC, 188mm Sniper Cannon...4 vulcans... Mike drooled...the 
thought of what battles would be like.... *AS* would be mikes move...but the opponent would want to get to the sides of 
rear of the liger, forcing it into close range combat... Now the snipe liger wasnt built for Melee by any chance so and 
seeing as how mike could stick another mod on it, he bought SLC. Just in case ^_^; 


Weapons: 
AZ 188mm Sniper Cannon
The heaviest weapon available to the Snipe Liger. Like the Konig Wolf's Dual Sniper Rifles, this weapon has to be deployed 
before it can be used, which can take a short while. Anyway, being a sniper cannon, it's accurate enough to blast a beer can 
off of a fence at 3 kilometers. It also has improved accuracy over most sniper-type weapons, due to the mini-radome unit on 
the sniper cannon. The sniper cannon fires very slowly, though; one would be lucky to get three shots a round, and that is 
seriously pushing it. It fires shield-piercing bullets, much like the Gun Sniper's tail-mounted cannon. However, the shells 
from this snipercannon can punch through a shield in 2 hits, rather than 3, because of the larger size of the cannon. 
(Needless to say, the bullets will also punch through Zoid armor pretty easily, thus the "AZ" designation.) The recoil 
from the cannon is very strong, so firing while moving isn't recommended, at least not if you want a reasonable amount 
of accuracy from the shot. It's capable of a 45 degree arc to either side, with a 15 degree inclination up or down.

100mm Heavy Cannons
Mounted to either side of the larger sniper cannon, these are more or less standard cannons. Why are they called heavy cannons, then? Simple, they fire shells that are functionally identical to the shells fired by the cannonry unit, except for the lower caliber. Thus, these cannons can inflict plenty of pain on an opponent. They're not quite capable of semi-automatic fire, though; don't expect more than 3 shots every 2 seconds, and even that's pushing it. They're locked in a forward-facing mount, so they can only fire in the direction the Snipe Liger is facing.

80mm Mini-Sniper Cannon
Mounted between the Snipe Liger's front legs, this mini-cannon is plenty powerful, and although it's smaller, it's still 
capable of accurate fire at a full kilometer. It's not shield-piercing, though it is semi-automatic. It's capable of a 30 
degree arc to either side, since the legs get in the way otherwise, but it can't incline at all.

AF-03 Light Vulcan Guns (2)
The light vulcan gun is simply a small 4 barreled 15mm vulcan chain gun. Despite the low-caliber, they're still able to deal
 a lot of damage due to their very high firing rate. These vulcans are capable of pivoting 180 degrees, able to face forward,
 backward, or to either side. Accuracy isn't the best, though.The LVGs are mounted onto the front shoulders of the Tank Liger
.

AF-04 Dual Light Vulcan Gun
The dual light vulcan gun is simply that: two small 4 barreled 15mm vulcan chain guns. Unlike the normal light vulcan gun, 
it's permanently fixed forward, limiting it's usefulness somewhat. Still, it's an extra two guns. In all other respects, 
it's just like the light vulcans, except that there's two of them. This is mounted under the 80mm Sniper Cannon between the 
Tank Ligers front legs.

AF-07 StS Missle Packs (2) 
These are simple 4 shot missle boxes located on the rear hips of the Tank Liger, they have a 5m blast radius like any other
 missle, and should be locked on befor firing. 

Dual 2-shot Mortar Pods
Mounted on either side of the Snipe Liger's face, these are more or less standard mortars, and have two mortar rounds per 
launcher (thus, there's a total of four mortars per pod). They operate much like a mortar cannon, being that the launchers 
themselves propel the explosive projectiles in a parabolic arc. Because of this, they're none too accurate, but the explosive
 power more than makes up for the lack of guidance.

Quad 5-shot Mortar Pods
Mounted on each of the Sniper Liger's four shoulders, they're pretty much standard mortar launchers, which carry two mortar 
rounds per launcher (thus, 10 mortars per pod). They operate much like a mortar cannon, being that the launchers themselves 
propel the explosive projectiles in a parabolic arc. Because of this, they're none too accurate, but the explosive power more
 than makes up for the lack of guidance.

Hardened Alloy Claws
Like all other Ligers in existence, the Snipe Liger has these for close-range combat. It's at a big disadvantage, though, 
since the legs are weighed down more than on any other Liger, so they're very hard to use. Truly meant as a last-ditch weapon
 for the Snipe Liger, this Zoid is pretty much limited to walking up to an opponent and clawing at their legs and body. Don't
 try to pull any fancy moves with these, cause they just won't work. 


Executing Special Abilities: 
Frontal Force Shield
This defensive force shield is functionally identical to the shield on almost every other Liger in existence. It is activated
 by opening the top and bottom panels on the Liger's mane, automatically creating the force shield matrix. The name is a 
misnomer of sorts; the shield also covers the sides and the back of the Snipe Liger, but the bulk of the shield's protection 
is concentrated in front of the Zoid. It is important to note that the shield does not cover the rear of the Snipe Liger at 
all, and barely covers the rear legs. 

Specialized Sensor Panel
On the Snipe Liger's forehead is a square green panel, that operates very much like the specialized sensor panel on the 
Iron Kong. Thus, the Snipe Liger is capable of using this to see through smoke, fog, or anything of that nature; in addition,
 the Snipe Liger's infrared sensors are bundled in with the specialized sensors, thus it can use both sets of sensors 
simultaneously. However, the sensor panel can't scan under the ground at all, and it's not capable of sending data to 
teammates on the battlefield, unlike the Iron Kong.

AF-19 Strike Laser Claw 
Simple mod again ^_^ SLC were installed into the Sheild ligers paws before evolution, giving them the burnyburny goodness 
that is used as a last resort to the Tank Liger
