Welcome to Gaia! ::

70mm Wrist Cannon:
The Iron Kong only has one reusable ranged weapon: a 70mm cannon built into its right wrist. While the weapon itself is pretty much standard, it comes with a list of advantages and disadvantages thanks to its location. The Iron Kong also requires its hands to run or walk, as well as to maneuver. While the Iron Kong is using one wrist to aim and shoot, both of those two abilities: walking and maneuvering, are severely inhibited. However, thanks to its positioning, the weapon can hit almost any target around the Iron Kong, because it can face anywhere the wrist can face.

AZ Anti-Ground Missile Launcher:
The is the default weapon to be mounted in the Iron Kong’s left shoulder. When this weapon is being used, the Iron Kong’s left shoulder plate slides back to reveal a tube, pointing straight up. It’s just an AZ Missile Launcher, capable of firing a single round. This round then arcs around and downwards and hits whatever its locked onto. However, the Iron Kong carries a full five reloads internally, and the reloading process is almost instantaneous (a bit under a second). The only downside is that each newly loaded missile has to lock onto its target separately, making for a slow firing rate. Also, this weapon can’t be dumbfired effectively unless the target is straight above you. These are AZ AGMs, meaning they can lock onto ground targets only, but have twice the standard damaging potential.

Ten-Shot GEP Pod:
This weapon can be mounted for use in the Iron Kong’s left shoulder, as an alternative to the AZ Anti-Ground Missile Launcher. When its deployed, the armor plate on the left shoulder slides back, and a pods pops up and out. The pod has two rows of five GEPs, or Guided Explosive Projectiles. These basically walk the line between missiles and rockets: they’re dumbfire only, but use a weak internal guidance system to improve accuracy. Practically speaking, they only improve the chance of the round to hit by 20% to 30%, but that can still be quite alot. However, they’re as powerful as a standard Anti-Ground Missile, and can be far more useful than their Missile Launcher counterpart. Their main advantage over the AZ AGMs is that all 10 can be fired at once (or at any rate, at the pilot’s discretion) allowing them to swarm and overwhelm anti-missile and point defenses. However, the Iron Kong carries no internal reloads for this weapon. Once they’re used up, you have to rearm at a transport to use them again.

Hardened Alloy Fists:
The Iron Kong possesses two incredibly strong and powerful fists, each capable of lifting 60 to 70 tons (120 to 140 tons together). While not useful for conventional slashing and tearing, they’re great for boxing and crushing, letting the Iron Kong fight almost like a human being would.

TVM Tactical Missile Launcher:
Occupying the Iron Kong’s right shoulder is a powerful TVM Tactical Missile Launcher, the ordnace it fires being officially classified as a superweapon. The Iron Kong must spend a full six seconds locking onto a single terrestrial target (or a set of coordinates) prior to firing the missile. The Iron Kong is unable to lock onto a target or a set of coordinates within 100 meters of itself as a failsafe. Note also that the Iron Kong can lock onto any target its Composite Sensory Unit can pinpoint or that it can see. If any one of its sensory mechanisms can detect the target, it can lock on, and the lock on time is unaffected by the number of mechanisms that can detect the target. the missile’s boosters and vectored thrusters allow it to continually update its flightpath to compensate for the movement of the target for a full three seconds, when the Tactical Missile runs out of fuel. (It will already be on its way down by this point.) From this point forward, the Tactical Missile is unguided, and will fall for between 1 second (excellent conditions) and 3 seconds (worst possible conditions). When it hits the ground, the warhead will detonate and create a massive 80-meter explosion. Though the very toughest of Zoids, such as the Gojulas, can survive this blast if relatively undamage, they will do so only barely. Lesser Zoids caught in the blast radius will surely experience a System Freeze -- or worse. After the first Tactical Missile is launched, the Iron Kong has a single reload, and but it takes it a full six seconds to reload after the first is launched.
