The Liger
Zero
is a Lion ( or Liger)-type Zoid, used primarily by the
Helic Republic. Some Liger Zero variants are used by the Guylos Empire. Unlike
the Blade Liger, the Liger Zero isn’t a derivative of an older design, but
rather a completely new Zoid.

Unlike most Zoids, which are man-made
mechanical bodies constructed around techno-organic cores, the Liger Zero is
based directly on the body of a wild Zoid, in this case the wild Liger used as
the basis for the Shield and Blade Ligers. As a result, the Zero is more agile,
more responsive and more intelligent than a comparable, conventionally-built,
Zoid.

Its signature attack is the "Strike
Laser Claw", which is utilised by supercharging its claws with laser
energy to enhance the power of a claw swipe, allowing it to smash and tear
through thick enemy armour.

CAS (Changing Armor System)
Ligerzerocas
Because it is derived from
a wild Zoid body, the basic Liger Zero does not carry any ranged weapons. To
overcome this limitation, the Zoid was designed to allow its external armour to
be swapped out and replaced with other components. The different armour types,
known as Changing Armour System (or CAS) Units, allows the Zoid to take on
different characteristics and adapt to different roles:

Liger
Zero Jaeger
(Hunter in German)
Liger_zero_jager
The second CAS Unit (first in the anime), the CP-20 Jaeger Unit is designed for
reconnaissance and high-speed strike operations. The Jaeger unit’s main
features are a pair of large ion boosters mounted on the Zoids back, which
provide the Zoid with incredible speed and acceleration while improving the
Zoid’s agility. The Zero Jaeger features advanced radar and sensory systems,
but also reduces the Zoid’s overall level of armour protection.

3) Dual Impact Cannon
Distinguishing Features: Jager Ion Booster Armor increases speed and
mobility of base Liger.

Liger
Zero Schneider
(Cutter or Slicer in
German)
Ligerzeroschneider
The first CAS Unit for the
Liger Zero (second in the anime), the CP-17 Schneider Unit is designed for
close combat. The unit features seven energy blades mounted on the Liger Zero’s
head and sides (five around the head, one on each flank), which can be used to
cut through enemy Zoid armour and energy shields. Additionally, the Zero
Schneider features improved speed and acceleration through the use of a series
of powerful boosters, and possesses an energy shield.

4) Buster Slash
5) Seven Blade Attack
Distinguishing Features: Schneider Close Combat Armor increases
short-range combat capabilities of base Liger through series of hardened
super-strength blades.

Liger
Zero Panzer
(Armour or Tank in
German)

LigerzeropanzerThe third CAS Unit, the
CP-21 Panzer Unit is designed for heavy assault and long-range bombardment. The
armour reduces the Zoid’s speed and agility, while increasing its overall level
of protection and drastically increasing its firepower. The unit sports two
heavy cannons in addition to numerous concealed missile launchers. The Panzer
system also can be speculated to have some interference with the cooling
system, as shown in the anime. The anime also depicted a Panzer-equipped Liger
Zero as being close to immobile due to its weight, although the technical
specifications from the Battle Story reveal that Panzers are still capable of
moving at a respectable 285 km/h.

Distinguishing Features: High tensile steel Panzer Heavy Assault Armor
features twin hybrid cannons, 4 micro missile pods at each shoulder, and
additional armaments. Panzer conversion optimizes weapons output and armor
strength of base Liger, but decreases speed and durability due to excessive
stress on the stabilizer system. The stress can cause extreme overheat.
