The Gordos is a Stegosaurus-type Zoid, designed to act as a command and control platform, as well as providing long-range fire support. While not as well armoured as the Dark Horn, an EU Zoid of the same size, the Gordos boasted superior long-range capabilities. To back up its weapons, the Zoid was armed with a quartet of thagomizer spikes on its tail.
The true strength of the Gordos lay not in its firepower, but in its sensor array. The Zoid was equipped with a powerful long-range radar and communications system, one of the most powerful ever mounted on a Zoid, making it the ideal Zoid for Platoon Leaders. The Zoid also has a short range Radar Jammer, allowing it to jam enemy radars up to a kilometer away, an effective anti-air asset.
Designed to act as a Command and Control platform for a unit, the Gordos is equipped with impressive armor, only a step below that of the Gojulas. Also, to help with its original C&C purpose, the Gordos was equipped with a powerful 3D Radar Targeting System, which allowed it to aid allies in the field and coordinate attacks.
One of the original weaknesses of the Gordos was that it was forced to depend on its Twin 105mm Heavy Railguns, which had and extremely low rate of fire, allowing the Gordos to be outmaneuvered. Therefore, an early revision of the Gordos design added the Quad 80mm Heavy Cannons and Twin Dual 4-Shot Missile Pods, considerably increasing its ranged striking power. After this upgrade, firepower was very rarely an issue for the Gordos and later became standard equipment. However, the Zoid was plagued by poor maneuverability, speed, and a lack of armor around the leg joints.
Still, the Gordos eventually went from field commander to frontline infantry, being deployed en masse by the various factions to combat the new Iron Kong. The sheer firepower of the Gordos makes it a favorite among some members of the Special Ops community as a heavy firepower Zoid with a low profile.
