Xiakou Raptor

Here's that zoid i drew ages ago. the best namei could think of was this. Xiakou is a name i use a lot. i have a pirate ship called the Black Xiakou, and most of the characters i mentioned in this pic: fly around i na space ship called the Blue Xiakou.
Anyway yeah this zoid here is an upgrade to the Rev Raptor, one of my all time favourites. and although the rev Raptor is quite a weak, low-level zoid, this certainly is not XD
It's very fast and strong as well as durable. it's an evolution on the same level as the Geno stuff. stronger than the "Geno Sniper" that i made ages ago (an upgrade to the Gun Sniper). this one's a lot faster and more vicious. i thought it also had a charged particle beam on the tail like the geno sniper but the drawing has it written that it's a laser dagger
that's so cool~ so it can like spin around and slash with a very small lazer sword basically. very deadly attack. makes sense with the size and shape of the tail too. i know for certain it has a flamethrower in it's mouth, and i say it also can have a C.P.B seeing as it has good grip with it's feet anyway, even without a foot clamp. and has a good cooling system.
it's got the same vulcan guns the rev raptor does, maybe slightly sharper claws... and the best feature is the blade sickles have been replaced with laser ones in those stylish looking back arms which deploy to the sides to unleash the much much stronger blades. I also gave it a unique sheild. that thing is present on both sides of it. it's a pretty strong sheild and could probably deflect most fire from the front but it's mainly focussed on the sides. cus you reeeeally don't want to be in front of this thing, or behind it either... so that protects against the sides and probably above a fair bit too, though that would be your best bet for an attack if you have the element of surprise.
i think i gave this thing jumpjets too, youknow a thruster designed for quick bursts of speed rather than continuous boosting or flight, designed to launch the user into the air and forward. so even more deadly lol. although i cant see where i drew the jump-jets on it, possible on the bottom, but it's not obvious so i didn't list it on the stat file i'm gonna upload after this.

this is my favourite of the mecha stuff i've done. particularly the other zoid stuff.
if I had a Zoids OC this would be his weapon.
