Description:

The Lightning Saix is a cheetah-type Zoid, created by the OA.

The Lightning Saix is notable as being an exceptionally maneuverable land-based Zoid. It is incredibly high-performance, with exceedingly fast acceleration and a massive top speed. While it cannot make sharp turns while running at its top speed, it can strafe and manuver quite well. The Zoid is also surprisingly stealthy; while not invisible to sight or radar, it is very elusive.

The Lightning Saix is well armed, carrying a pair of powerful Pulse Laser Rifles on its back, as well as a pair of small Vulcan Guns in its head. The Saix's Pulse Laser Rifles only point directly forward and cannot be turned, meaning that the Zoid is rather vulnerable to attacks from the flanks or behind. However, the fixed position of the back-mounted weapons is a necessity, as the Saix would lose its balance if the rifles were to turn while running at high speeds. The Lightning Saix can turn its head to use the Vulcan Guns against opponents attacking from the flanks, though, and the Pulse Laser Rifles can still at least point about 5 degrees to either side and about 10 degrees up and downward to give it some freedom of movement, even if only a little.

Additionally, the Lightning Saix has a pair of Vertical and Wing Stabilizers, which are located at each side of the Lightning Saix's Pulse Laser Rifles. They serve as to stabilize the Zoid while running at high speeds, and allows the whole kicking power of the Lightning Saix to be transfered to the ground, making sure every ounce of force hits the ground to maximize the Zoid's running efficiency. The stabilizers also help reduce drag and air lift to the Zoid, making it run perfectly steady despite the great and sudden accelerations that can take place while mobilizing.

Unfortunately for the Lightning Saix, it’s armor isn’t the best: a step below that of the Command Wolf. However, the Lightning Saix has a fair assortment or ranged and melee weaponry, and can outrun, dodge, or sidestep most things that would deal damage to it.

Twin Lightning Vulcan Cannons:
The Lightning Saix has a pair of large cannons mounted to its back, which serve as its main weapons. Both cannons are reasonably high caliber -- 100mm -- and fire quicker than your standard semiautomatic weapon. Each generally puts out 2-3 shells a second, giving the Lightning Saix some capacity to deal with even larger enemies. However, the weapons can only pivot 5 degrees to either side or 10 degrees up, meaning that their mobility is extremely limited.

Twin 30mm Pulse Laser Rifles:
Located more or less between the eyes on the Lightning Saix are a pair of 30mm Pulse Laser Rifles. Each of two 30mm cannons fires roughly 12 shots per second, and is incapable of independent pivoting. However, they can point wherever the head can, which gives them a much better range of motion and fire than the Twin Lightning Vulcan Cannons.

Claws and Teeth:
The Lightning Saix starts with all the basics: claws and teeth. They’re sharp and pointy, great for slashing, tearing, ripping, and biting. Obviously, they’re only useful in melee and close quarters, but the Lightning Saix is extremely muscular and much stronger than either weight or size would imply.

IR Suppression:
The Lightning Saix’s lone special ability is dedicated Infrared Suppression, which it much harder for missiles and like to lock onto it. Though the missiles still have visuals, the Lightning Saix’s fast speed and high performance also allow it to dodge and evade missiles with some fancy footwork. Also, IR Suppression makes the Lightning Saix essentially impossible to find using IR Sensors, which can be extremely helpful at times.
