The Red Horn is a Styracosaurus-type Zoid and was originally created by the OA to oppose the Gojulas and other large EU-created Zoids before being stolen by the PAC and made public. The Red Horn, while relatively slow compared to later designs, possessed sufficient speed for the era of its creation, and boasted a considerable arsenal of weapons. The Red Horn’s weaponry allows it to bombard enemies from a distance, while its horn allows it to engage them in melee combat.
The Zoid is heavily armoured, and is resistant to the weapons commonly mounted on smaller Zoids. The Red Horn also boasts a considerable sensor array, with a sophisticated radar system mounted in the four “horns” that form its crown. The Zoid, despite its bulk and seemingly clumsy design, rather adept at operating in rough-terrain and mountain combat conditions, though its speed is nothing to write home about.
The Red Horn is one of the older models in its class, having served the interests of the various factions for many years before reaching its status today. The Red Horns developed the reputation of being able to stand up to even the toughest opponents. Fighting both with and against with its cousin, the heavier and more powerful Dark Horn, the Red Horn was often seen spearingheading charges on the front lines.
Though the Red Horn is extremely similar in design to the Dark Horn, there are a few crucial differences between the two Zoids. First and foremost is the fact that the Red Horn has a thinner coat of armor, making it a little weaker than other Zoids in its class. Second is the fact that the Red Horn boasts a pair of 80mm Anti-Aircraft Cannons instead of the overpowerd Hybrid Vulcan Cannon.
One of the Red Horn’s crucial weaknesses is that it can’t move or maneuver very quickly. However, the Red Horn’s defenses are nearly omnidirectional, so it can be hard to get the jump on the massive Zoid.
